Great Watch BUT Pulse Rate is Way, Way Off...
on October 7, 2025
Posted by: CatMom99
This is a great watch with lots of bells and whistles. I like all that it does, except for the heart rate monitor is way, way off. My actual heart rate was around 70 during a relaxation yoga class, and the watch alerted me saying my heart rate was 180!! NOT!! It kept showing I was around 125 to 130, when in fact I was between 60 to 70. Then all of a sudden it showed 63 and started reading correctly. It did the same thing yesterday when I was doing weight training... pulse rate showed way higher that it actually was. Everything else is working great thought. Watch is also very comfortable to wear.

Functionality is improved from Galaxy 7; sleep patterns, AGES, and Energy Score all enhanced. Apps on screen are arranged in logical patterns.

The battery life is great for my use. I got the 44mm Instead of 40mm & like it better. Very pleased with it so far.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a Pretty Cool Watch!
on October 7, 2025
Posted by: TechMom85
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't owned a Samsung Watch in a very long time and boy have they come a LONG way! This is my honest review of the Galaxy Watch 8
Right out of the box my first impression was "Wow, this watch is BIG!" I am a petite woman and usually go for the smaller watches and step trackers, like fitbit. However, after playing around and learning everything this watch can do - it makes sense. For instance, the customizable watch faces would not work well with a small screen. Which actually is one of my favorite features about this watch.
The sound quality is pretty good, as well. I have made and received calls with no problems hearing the person on the other end and they had no problems hearing me. I don't use this feature much, because I don't want to be THAT PERSON who talks loudly on calls in public spaces. IYKYK. But it is a useful feature to have, nonetheless. I usually use it to take calls while I'm cooking. It totally beats having to stop what I am doing to run and find my phone.
I really am enjoying this watch. I am still learning it, and I am having fun with it. The only cons that I can think of is the battery life doesn't last as long as I would hope, but I also am used to smaller watches that are just basic and don't do everything that this watch does. And I do wish that it was a little bit smaller, but I do like the fact that I can change the band and that is probably what I will do.
All in all, I rate it a 4/5.

I am satisfied with my purchase. It has more features than my Galaxy Watch4. The option of a blue strap over the black is a nice option. It seems to have more stability for some watch functions than my Watch4. The battery lasts barely more than a day, which seems like a very slight improvement over the Watch4. One thing I do not like, which my Watch4 had was that when I count steps, the steps defaults to the normal watch face after only 2 minutes. On my watch4, the steps stayed visible for as long as I walked. The Watch8 defaulting at 2 minutes is very annoying and useles.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Another Watch Win for Samsung!
on October 7, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is great and I absolutely love the OS where you can scroll down to access apps. I even use my hiking app on here! It connects via Bluetooth easily to my phone, no problems! Can water lock it and remotely use your phone camera. While I love the feel of the band update to where it's only textured on the inside now, I do prefer where the band also moves up, not just down - which was a change from the 7. The battery life is pretty good as well - depending on what apps you use! I'll keep buying Samsung!
