[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to use battery saver but to use the new features you can't use that so that is tough. Wish the battery was better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had 3 Galaxy watches over the years. The Galaxy Watch 8 moves the needle. Battery life is good and recharge time is quick, so I can charge while sitting at my desk and wear it night/day.
I appreciate the new sensors. Health app matched the BMI my doctor gave me. I feel good about the health data being accurate.
Galaxy AI integration is smooth and easy to use.
I picked the white watch with white band. I have received a few compliments about its look. Pleased with the upgrade from a Galaxy 6 after a few weeks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very functional and good looking watch. Battery life could be better but I get about a day on a single charge.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switch my Samsung 7 for the 8. The battery life is so much better. And the so much lighter then the 7. I love it so much
I upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 7 because I really wanted access to the antioxidants and vascular load measurements. Upon initial testing, it actually works really nicely and coincides with the results I've received during my doctor's visits. I love it and have been trying to monitor my health more with the wishes of my mother. The watch screen overall is beautiful, and I love the many features it provides. Very easy to set up and love the ability to ensure I only receive the notifications I want. The bluetooth actually reaches a really nice distance so even if I leave my phone in my living room while I'm in the kitchen, I can still answer calls or texts.
I only have small issues against the watch that keep me from rating it 5 stars. I still don't like the bands that samsung provides and have to order my own as they seem to make the area I wear it on really sweaty causing it to rash up. After I ordered my own bands, I don't have this issue. Another issue is there's like a small crevice around the watch that allows dirt in, which can be a little annoying to keep clean. I also worry about dirt getting inside the watch that could cause damage. I don't recall having this issue when I had the 7. In my photo you can see a little bit of the dirt/dust that snuck into the crevice.
At the end of the day, I love my watch and am happy with my purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the things I really enjoyed so far about this watch is being able to use the Gemini Ai. I have never really used as much before I got to watch, but for some reason having it on my wrist made me more interested. In addition I love how snappy the movement is on the watch aid. The tiles have a better look than my previous watch five. I really think that the biometrics on the Watch 8 give more accurate readings. I wasn't a fan of having to go to a different style of band attachment, but I found that I really like this style. I would highly recommend this watched it anyone that's looking for a new smartwatch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great watch with lots of upgraded features. My previous watch was the Watch4. The battery life is almost twice as long lasting almost two days. It has several new health tracking options to get a more comprehensive snapshot of your well-being. It has Galaxy AI built-in, so you can ask questions on the go. It has all the same other functions of older models as well. I like the bigger display and the quicker response time. This is a very solid upgrade for anyone wishing to update their watch!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has to be the best looking watch out of the 3 for 2025 , fast great smooth operating system. This is a must buy watch light weight great battery life as well.
