[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this watch to track daily activity and workouts. Easy to use and integrates great with my Z Flip 6. The only negarive (and reason for 1 star reduction) is the high price of additional watch bands.
I replaced my watch 6 with 8 for battery reason, this seems to have the same issue, despite turnign off several features which can potentially drain battery life, I still don see it holding up for na entire day. very disappointed. Also the dial size does nto look good. Just the old plain circle was good. veen a 40 m is still too big for majority of women.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best of all, it's very lightweight, the battery lasts a long time, the image is sharp and more colorful, and it has all the functions you need to keep track of your weight, calories, etc.
I love the watch & all of its capabilities, however, I would really like a smaller wrist band option. I have small wrists & I don't like tucking half the band through the loop. That is my only complaint.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch 8 is super nice. It has several great apps available including ones that can monitor your health. It's design is simplistic yet elegant and easy to learn if you have never had a smart watch. Being able to see who's calling or answering texts without your phone at work helps a lot when you're unable to look at your phone. The battery longevity is also incredible! 10/10 would recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased th Galaxy 8 watch 2 months ago. It blew me away. It was an impulse buy. . A smartwatch was something I'd wanted to few years now but just didn't have the extra income to ever get one. Few months back I was able to. It was the customization that blew me away. I felt like I was wearing a different type of watch each time I put it on. It was perfect. I had some financial issues last month and unfortunately had to take it back.
