Fast service and watch works as expected. I was never one to wear a watch but with my age and health the features are helpful, also love the convenience of the other features
Great look, fit and features. Minus one star for d

The functionality, look and fit of this watch was a significant upgrade from my Fitbit Versa 4. The only downside would be the battery life. I was spoiled by my Fitbit with almost weekly (or more) charging. The Watch8 requires daily charging. I find myself having to coordinate the charge cycles in the morning so I can wear the watch at night for the sleep tracking.
I do enjoy this Samsung Watch 8. It is very easy to use , lightweight, and pretty . The battery only last a day but that's ok. While I am relaxing before I sleep I charge it. It charges super fast, so it doesn't bother me that it needs to be charged daily.
Too Large with those bumpers , can't charge with phone, doesnt fit any of the older bands.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Samsung, Thank you for taking the opportunity to share your thoughts with us about the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We value your feedback as we continue to improve the design and functionality of our product line. The Galaxy Watch8 and the Galaxy Watch7 are similar in size and weight, however, the Galaxy Watch8 features a redesigned case. To charge your new Galaxy Watch8, using the included magnetic charger is recommended by connecting the USB-C end to your designated power source like a wall adapter, computer, or power bank. Your new Galaxy Watch8 utilizes the Dynamic Lug System for your watch band that replaces the older quick-release mechanism offered by its predecessor. If you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like further assistance, please feel free to contact Samsung Support at your leisure. Thank you for being a faithful Samsung customer. - Debra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 for a bit now, and I’m loving it. The sleek “cushion” design feels light and comfy—even when I sleep with it on. The bright AMOLED display is super easy to read, even outdoors.
Fitness and health tracking are solid—sleep tracking is spot-on, and features like stress monitoring and the antioxidant index are cool extras, though sometimes a little finicky.
One thing I wish was better: battery life. Most days it barely lasts over a single full day, especially with Always-On Display active, and charging is pretty slow.
Overall, it's a stylish, comfortable watch with great features—especially if you're already in the Samsung/Android world—but be ready to charge it !
