[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this watch!!!!!!! Fonts are so easy to read, picture quality is amazing! Galaxy AI is very convenient and helpful. Will never go back to any other brands!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my new Galaxy Watch 8 two days ago, upgrading from a Watch 7. I made the switch to the graphite toned metal after having had silver. The watch feels lighter and less clunky. I ordered the athleisure band; the only negative is that it has an extra strap loop that is awkward and useless as it isn't required unless the strap is too long for the wrist. Setting up the watch has been relatively easy. The only issue is having to learn how to best incorporate and use Galaxy AI. I am hoping that Galaxy AI, which is accessed using a long press of the home button to activate Google Assistant aka Gemini AI, will enhance my use of the watch and its applications. I really like the new faces, especially the dynamic digital dashboard type. There are some newer complications/widgets that really enhanced the information one can get at a glance!
Design looks cool, but not robust. A lot of features are similar or same as competitors including UI aspects. Feels a little more dated for what could be offered in this day and age.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Myself OnDevice is one of the best I've used yet, especially with the AI generation. It helps so much more
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fitness tracker and heart monitor. I can preview pictures without having to take my phone out. The functionality and ease of use is second to none!
