Coming from the Galaxy 6 Classic, I really miss the rotating bezel. It made navigating the watch easy. Other than that, not much change from the previous.

A quirky start but quickly refined

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this watch and was immediately disconcerted by battery life issues. I cleared the device cache (a quick web search helps here) and it's been fantastic since. Currently averaging about 2 days maybe 2.5 between charges. The screen is 44mm but seems way bigger than previous generations at that spec. The response time of the interface compared to the 6 is worth it alone. The Galaxy AI features are interesting but don't get much use from me. I think as the tech evolves I'll find more ways to optimize with it. Overall, worth upgrading from a 7 or older.

The watch is fantastic overall, but the only drawback is that Samsung Messages doesn’t let you view the full text on the watch, it just says ‘New message.’ My previous Watch 6 showed the full message, so this feels like a step backward.

I'm loving the new Galaxy 8 watch! It seems a bigger than my 7 was but I think it's just the change in shape.

This watch is magical! I'm tracking my health better and it's brilliant to be able to answer a call on my watch! Kinda feel like a secret agent speaking into my watch - lol!
I just wish the battery life was longer. I still have to charge it almost daily. That's my only issue.

I like the Watch8 thus far. Clean, sleek face, not too many smudges as I tap/swipe. The processor is good and I haven't experienced a drag or slowness as I use. The band connector is new and I'm starting all over with purchasing, but the snap may be better vs the pull and connect.
