The auto pause function drives me crazy. There should be an option to disable this for all exercises. It frequently interrupts the tracking of my exercise. Otherwise the watch works very similar to previous models.

I have owned every Samsung Galaxy watch ever since they launched the Galaxy 2. I have upgraded every time they launched a new one. I just now got the Galaxy 8 and am loving it. I love the sleep app on the 8. Definitely a Samsung phone and watch gal for life.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I don't absolutely love this watch the way I loved my watch6. Performance wise is definitely good. I have mix feelings about the model and shape, but the thing I absolutely hate is that I'm no longer able to charge it with my wireless charger I bought from Samsung as well. The shape of the watch doesn't allow it to stick and stay so it totally defeats the purpose of having my triple wireless charger.

Switched from Watch 7 that was giving me 2 days max battery life to Watch 8 getting 1 1/2. A big turn off
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this watch so much! It's just the right size, I love the color way and the things it does now are so much fun. The ONLY con, the battery life. I have pared my screen down to the bare minimum and I still barely get a full day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have previously owned other Samsung smartwatches, and I have found this model to be both stylish and feature-rich. It offers enhanced battery life, superior control over the health data app, and a more slender body with quicker button response. The classic 8 model is an excellent upgrade option for integrating with your new Samsung devices.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Watch8 blends sleek design with powerful wellness tools, offering advanced sleep coaching, vascular load tracking, and AI-powered insights. Its cushion-shaped frame and Dynamic Lug system feel futuristic, though battery life and strap compatibility may still leave room for improvement.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The watch does everything I want but has a couple of annoyances.
I moved from a Galaxy Watch 5 mainly for the new sensors.
The biggest issue for me is the almost pitiful notification volume.... It's too quiet even when maxed out, and there's no option to use imported .wav, .mp3 or .ogg files for custom notification sounds.
Issue 2 for me is I'm not a big fan of the new OneUI 8 tiles..
