First Watch Galaxy 8
on August 30, 2026
Posted by: Flamezz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got a new phone and it had a great deal and saw there was a Samsung galaxy watch 8. I did some research on it and decided to get it. I've had my Watch for 8 months and I love it it tracks everything, I see very detailed depth on how good my sleep scores are and if I don't have a good sleep it suggests things to improve on. I love the customization of the watch faces, etc. I am glad I got this watch.

Great watch
on August 28, 2026
Posted by: DBW1961
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Previously owned a galaxy 4 watch and liked it a lot. I chose the Galaxy 8 because I had a good experience before. Love the battery life (almost 48 hours) and great selection of free apps and faces. Very reliable so far. Using Bluetooth to connect to my phone so no need for a costly extra phone line.

Upgrade to Watch 8
on August 27, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyFan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The additional health features was why I chose to upgrade to Galaxy Watch 8 from the 6. I value having access to tools that keep me aware of how my choices effect my health. This Watch 8 definitely helps me do that. I also enjoy changing the face to make more info as my life changes.
When I do have any slow-downs, clearing cach and restarting usually resolve it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose an android watch 8 because I am a diehard Android user you can't pay me to use anything else you won't be upset about this device its a beautiful accessory to an already beautiful person its almost like you can't have 1 without the other watch and flip phone pair ever so pleasantly won't have it any other way.

Battery is awful
on August 25, 2026

I would give this a much better rating based on the features, but since only one month in the battery began draining with only 12-16 hours of wear with the most minimal settings and features enabled. I have had a fitbit for years that last for a week at a time. I understand fitbit doesn't have LTE, but it is extremely frustrating that is cannot hold a charge for a day. Month 2: watch lasts about 12 hours on power saving mode full time!
Apparently, if you use water lock feature, you basically can void your warranty because they won't fix it.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, August 26, 2026
Hello Teacher1,,
Thanks for providing us with your constructive insights regarding your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your candor. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also have Samsung Care+ as an option which can be added to an eligible device. It's similar to extended warranty and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It may cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model offers a 325mAh battery while the 44mm model offers a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. Please take a moment to look over, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. Water Lock mode on your Galaxy Watch8 has been designed to disable the touchscreen and wake-up gestures so water pressure or stray drops do not cause accidental "phantom" inputs. However, turning on Water Lock does not make your watch waterproof or increase its water resistance. The watch is protected against water damage by its built-in physical seals and its 5ATM/IP68 water resistance rating, whether you turn on Water Lock or not. Feel free to let us know if you would like any further assistance after reviewing the resources provided below by contacting Samsung Support at your earliest convenience. Thank you for being a dedicated Samsung customer.
