Lighter, larger screen & lower profile than my last G5 with much crisper screen. Lots of features & I love the Samsung Health app to help me track my readings, exercise, water & food intake, and much more. I do prefer the old band on the G5 but Im getting used to the new siliconized rubber adjustable band. Well worth the money
I didnt expect that you need to charge the watch almost everyday.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a few different watchs this one is by far the best yet I can keep up with work emails text messages music weather it does almost every thing my phone does its great the battery last for a few days at a time which is awesome when you're on the go and on top of all that it has some pretty cool heath features I am so glad I bought it
I was hoping for longer battery life which is why I decided to trade in my Watch6. The battery life wasn't lasting as long as it had when I first got it. The watch8 battery is lasting the same length of time as my watch6 when I traded it in
I love the update design along with the clarity on the screen when reading messages and emails. I also like the new running coach that comes with the updated watch along with the longer battery life.
