[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the original Galaxy watch the galaxy watch 4, galaxy watch five pro, and the 7. This is, by far the lightest and best fitting, and of all the other galaxy watches that i've had. One UI8 is great too. The tiles and the icons are all much easier to read. The apps are straight across in a row, not staggered like before. I still have my watch 7, and I alternate between the two but the 8 is much more comfortable! I've also started using Gemini for multiple timers at the same time, it makes cooking much easier.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a diehard Samsung Galaxy watch user. I buy the new model every year. The the Watch 8 does not disappoint. I can dress it up with different bands, and using apps on the Watch is simple.
My only complaint is battery life. I work out every day, most days two per day, using Samsung Health and Google Fit to track my progress. I also listen to music on the phone. If the two fitness apps and music controls are all in use, the battery barely makes it through the day, requiring me to switch watches before going to bed..
Other than that, I'm still a loyal Galaxy watch fan and will continue to be!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I redid it for a newer watch mainly for work so I can catch important notifications while treating my patients. I do enjoy I dont always have to have the phone I can answer using the watch if necessary.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the watch since the drop. I'm from Hawaii sonits summer all year long. So far the watch has been nice and useful. I've been using it on runs, pay for my meals, and even workouts. It's nice that this watch can do everything. The most important thing I like about this watch is that it's super light. I don't even feel it that I'm wearing it sometimes. But it all I give this watch 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Terrible battery life when received. Update seems to have solved this. New metrics and functions are good in principle but not sure of accuracy. Improved Galaxy AI is a plus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is great for all your daily needs. It's screen size is what I like the most. It's larger and easier for me to type with my fat fingers! It's compatible with AI for that extra help and love the heath tracking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design improved over the watch 7, I forget I am even wearing the watch. I really like the galaxy Ai right on the watch too! Having Gemini on this generation of wearables from Samsung is a huge leap and, I'm really happy with it. I also recommend the Galaxy watch 8 the wellness sensors, sleep and running coach are my favorite.
