[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this watch. I've had other knockoff brands and this blows them away. The AI feature is truly amazing and very helpful. Highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The wristband that is interchangeable wears out after a period of time that isn't long lasting. Also charging the watch does not last all day long especially if it is linked with notifications, emails, text messages and any other messages

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone said the squircle design wasn't their favorite, but once I saw it in person I disagreed. I upgraded from the 40 mm watch 7 LTE and this is amazing watch. I really like the new strap design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very excited about my Samsung Galaxy 8! It is my 1st upgrade since they Active 2 watch. I love the new shape and size of buttons on the side. It has all the new AI options and with just a press of the top button you can ask Gemini anything. I love the immediate notifications of text and emails but my favorite is using the Samsung health. Keeping track of my workouts and steps for the day right on my watch is so convenient. I think I am going to just LOVE this upgrade!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A modern slick look with the option of variety of bands which is ideal for all walks of life
The charging option requires an unique wall charger/port which is compatible with the magnetic piece charging cable which is a standard practice of wearable gadgets
However the cable for charging port is limited in length and not ideal for side table reach from bed/sofa/couch etc
40 mm or 44 depends on individual style and wrist form
Definitely stylish with a touch of tacticality from Samsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is cool on the watch it just makes things do much easier to do. I never have to use the keyboard just speak what I need. Great watch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy watch 8 is very similar in functionality to the 7, main difference I see is instead of swipe right to left capabilities it is now stacked. The only a few negatives and reasons for a non perfect score, 1) battery life is still an issue - specifically when using location. 2) the new interface requires a new charger 3) and most important for me... messages apps (both Samsung & Google) don't seem to be operating correctly with the watch!!!
Disappointing. Not much of an upgrade compared to my Galaxy Watch 4. Seems to be a pattern with Samsung products. Already in the process of returning. However, it is much smoother and responsive, but the battery life is subpar. I wouldn't recommend.
