Incredible Phone, But I Miss My Flip!
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: meh2026
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and overall, I absolutely love this device. The camera, performance, and display quality are outstanding. My only real regret isn't about the Ultra's capabilities, but rather trading in my Galaxy Z Flip—I truly miss the compact design and convenience of the flip form factor! That personal preference aside, the S25 Ultra is a top-tier smartphone that delivers on every front.

Decent Smartwatch, But Missing Key Health Features
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 hoping for a full suite of advanced health and tracking features, but overall, it’s just okay. While the build quality, display, and everyday smartwatch functions are solid, I feel let down by the health monitoring restrictions. It's frustrating to find out after buying that half of the key vitals and advanced health metrics aren't fully available or supported on this particular edition/setup. If you just want standard daily tracking and notifications, it works fine, but if you bought it specifically for comprehensive vitals tracking, prepare for some disappointing feature limits.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, October 5, 2026
Howdy Disappointed,
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us regarding your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your insights allow us to continue innovating while we improve our product line to best suit your needs. Advanced health monitoring features available on the Galaxy Watch8, such as ECG and blood pressure tracking, require a Galaxy phone via the Samsung Health Monitor app. The app, Samsung Health Monitor, is exclusive to Galaxy devices and limits access to the following clinical and regulatory-cleared tools:
• Electrocardiogram (ECG): Takes heart rhythm readings to check for signs of Atrial Fibrillation.
• Blood Pressure Monitoring: Measures systolic and diastolic pressure after an initial manual cuff calibration.
• Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications (IHRN): Actively background-monitors for heart irregularities.
• Sleep Apnea Detection: FDA-authorized tracking for signs of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
If you pair your Galaxy Watch8 with a non-Galaxy device, you can still download the standard Samsung Health app and access general fitness tracking:
• General Wellness: Heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen, and stress tracking.
• Advanced Fitness Metrics: Energy Score with Galaxy AI, Running Coach, VO2 max, and body composition via BIA.
• Sleep & Recovery: Advanced sleep stages, scoring, snoring detection, and antioxidant index readings.
• Smart Features: Google Gemini integration, notifications, app alerts, and music playback.
For your convenience, we have included links below to help you become better acquainted with your device and the features it has to offer. Feel free to review those at your leisure and let us know if we can further assist you afterward by reaching out to Samsung Support. Thank you for choosing Samsung!

So glad I choose this watch 8
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Mimi22
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 because I wanted a watch that would keep me connected while also helping me stay on top of my daily activity and wellness. I love being able to quickly check my messages and notifications without always having to grab my phone. I also enjoy tracking my steps, sleep, heart rate, and activity throughout the day. The screen is bright and easy to read, it’s comfortable to wear, and it works great with my Samsung phone. I’m still finding new features to use, which makes it even better. I’m very happy I chose the Watch8!

Good upgrade from previous versions
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Justswim
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the watch is not super bulky since I have a small wrist. The features are better than my previous watch 4 classic. The only thing I wish they had was a bezel or some kind kf protector around the face bc I've scratched the outside a little from being so active.

I can't go one day without wearing my watch
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Grimsleeper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had purchased this watch in December 2025 knowing I had to wait a bit to switch to Samsung completely. It was the latest model at the time. I chose to purchase a watch mainly to get feedback / recordings of health-related things like how well I slept, my exercise for the day, heart rate, ECG (of course it's not to be a replacement for actual health care, etc. It's convenient to set timers and help wake me up in the morning. I get bummed when I forget to wear my watch overnight.

Nice Upgrade from older watches
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: MrsNikki123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently chose to upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 7 to the Watch 8, and the difference is quite noticeable. The Watch 8 is faster, lighter, and the improved comfort makes it significantly easier to wear while sleeping, which is particularly beneficial for sleep tracking.I'm glad I chose to upgrade to the newer watch because of how quick the UI is and how familiar the use of this watch can be. If you have an older watch definitely upgrade to the watch 8 or 9.

This watch has great health and wellness features
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Tatao24
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the watch 8 because I liked the new cushion shape watch face as it stays snug against my arm to monitor health info more accurately which is important to me. Not only do I like that it that it monitors my health but its also handy when Im out on a run and have my ear buds in and I cant access my phone I can just answer on my watch, and it will continue monitoring my oxygen levels, my heart rate and I love the auto detect feature so I can just do activities and it just starts recording the relevant info.
