[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch 8 40mm is just the right size for smaller wrist and fits closer than previous watches. Watch has many great features including comprehensive health tracking. The AI functions allow hands free use and modifications. I like the new band attachment for quick band changes. The new antioxidant and vascular load feature give additional health data for better overall health metrics. The watch ties in nicely with my cgm and blood pressure accessories using Samsung health. Has been helpful with tracking our gym workouts and heart rate monitoring. Watch completes our ecosystem and ties everything together nicely. I recommend the watch 8 for those that want the pinnacle of capability in a daily wearable friendly watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy watch8 is a good find. It has so many features that im still learning. I recommend this to be you next purchase
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 46mm is a great looking watch with 4g lte. My biggest complaint is the weak speaker. My Samsung watch 4 has a louder and clearer speaker. Other than that, I love how easy it is to switch bands and the overall look of the watch.
The Galaxy 8 fitness functions have me paying more attention to my exercise level and physical activities - status messages throughout the day let me know my progress toward the daily goals I've set. The ECG function is super easy to use and enables me to share this data with my cardiologist electronically. I don't use the full phone call function very much because I find it easier to talk on my phone; but since I don't always have my phone right with me, I'm able to screen calls on the watch and decide whether I want to take the call when it comes in or later.
I'm a big fan of Samsung as a brand in last 20 years, including phone, watch, ear buds, tv, washing machine appliances, you name it, most of them but this has been a disappointment in design , what the designer was thinking in terms of hexagon cuts, terrific bad design that didn't work for me
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your candor and critiques as we continue to improve the design and functionality of our product line.

The fit and finish feels much more premium than the past model I had. The customizability of each screen on the watch is awesome and can allow for a simple or very complex UI. The fabric band I got with it has been the most comfortable watch band I've have...While I would like to see a more robust band design that could use magnets or something, the Velcro works pretty well, or at least has short term.
