I really like the LTE version as opposed to Bluetooth only. I can leave my phone at home and still receive calls and texts. The 8 is lightweight and attractive.

Great watch, I bought it as a gift for my wife, unfortunately I didn’t do proper research. I had to return it because she recently needed a pacemaker and the watch isn’t recommended for people with pacemakers.
The Battery is the worst i charged my watch 8 for 4th or 5th time after i got it, i left it on the charger for 2 hours thinking it would be enough, 2 hours later i just grab it from the charger place it on my wrist turn it on.. i dont look at it for like 3 min. i try too look at the time... Battery dead... and its not one time ATLEAST 40 out of the 50 times i have charged it it died instantly. i even put on all battery saving options but still always dies instantly. WORST PRODUCT I HAVE BOUGHT IN THE LAST 5 YEARS

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch delivers all its promises, I've upgraded from a watch 4 and the screen is so much better now. The new design is very unique and eye catching. It feels very comfortable on the wrist.
