really like all the features — they make my workday so much easier. However, the battery life is disappointing. It doesn’t even last through an 8-hour shift, which is a big downside for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have galaxy watch 4 5 6 and 8. This one is really nice shape. But, battery life is kind of short.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how easy it makes doing things with my 25 ultra. My favorite feature are the gestures for pausing and skipping songs while jamming out. I never have to look at my phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy 8 watch has made my life so much easier...and healthier! The Samsung Health technology has made me more mindful and Galaxy AI has helped me become more organized!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first smartwatch and I wanted one compatible with my galaxy phone. It's nice to look at and functions like a mini phone. It was easy to set up and link with my phone. It has a good battery life and I love that I can adjust the settings via my phone. So far so good!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new shape of the watch gives it an updated look. The choice of watch faces are also updated to match the new look. I use my watch to answer, reject, and see who is calling on my Samsung phone. I also workout daily so I track my steps and exercise activities. I have used the AI features asking various questions and receiving an answer. I love all the Samsung products because they always stand above other models. Keep up the good work!
