Terrible battery life
on June 21, 2026
Posted by: ExSamsungWatchUser
from Seattle
Expertise:Expert
Bought this because the Watch Ultra was just too chunky for shirt cuffs but the battery life is a joke. If you want a watch to do nothing more than show the time, this will work but if you want it to track activities or actually use other apps, you'll get less than a day's use before the battery dies. Complete waste of money and can't even trade it in for a better version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
It was time for an upgrade, my watch 5 was getting a bit long in the tooth, and not staying charged as long as it used to. This has been an interesting upgrade, I kinda miss some of the older features (remember when the bezel rotated?) they kinda have stuff like it by using touch but eh. The keyboard switching to the symbols has given me trouble a couple of times, but I'm weird apparently for wanting to punctuate messages when I send them... Feels a bit nicer (I think smaller) on the wrist, but I like the old band better... I know I can switch it but I wish they'd stop changing the mechanisms...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Posted by: Imasamfam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch here is light weight. I love the features on this watch. I use it to track my steps everyday, I set it to my liking it has alot of wallpapers. I use it as a phone when I'm not near my phone. I play music on it. Text. I have brought watch covers and bands to switch up the look. Over all I love the watch.

Galaxy watch 8 40mm
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: Dawny58
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy watch 8 is awesome for me to keep track of my daily life activities and I really like that. The AI feature is great and fun to use. I combine it with my Galaxy phone s25fe and have loads of fun with it. But am still learning about it as well. I really love the Galaxy watch 8 since I received it. It does a wonderful job for me.

Fantastic number of features and capabilities
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: Watchuser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Watch8 is packed with nice features including health, productivity and fitness. I wear it every day and track my activity and rest. I just wish it would have better battery life. I'd settle with a minimum of two days. Maybe in a future release.

Life saving watch
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: MRCC21452
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy 8 watch have great info for my daily activities. While suffering from a heart condition, I am able to monitor my BP constantly and my ECG my BPM. Very helpful in maintaining my health. My weekly exercise regime is also monitored. Most of the apps I have on my Samsung Galaxy S25 phone are paired to my watch 8. Let's me answer phone calls, make calls weather it's nirmal calls or emergency calls. I can see text messages and respond long with emails. A great piece of equipment do have attached to your wrist. Love the various watch faces to choose from. Never have to charge prior to 48hrs ir longer which is great. Love it. A life saver.

Battery life is a bit lite.

Posted by: Harry
For my experience, I have this watch and the ultra. The battery life is a bit short, with me having to charge every early evening in order to take advantage of the sleep tool.
