The battery runs down too fast. I can't even wear it a full day without recharging. Very disappointed in this. Full charge lasts less than 12 hrs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had thr galaxy watch 6 and upgraded to the 8. Huge difference in workout tracking. Also like the new futuristic design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never owned a watch before so i was eager to get the galaxy watch 8 when i seen it was coming out. The watch is beautiful. The graphite band just looks so stylish and the watch itself really turns heads. I love to use it to monitor my steps and it also helps as a sleep coach. I love the Galaxy AI features.. especially when i need to find out an answer to a question without having too do alot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Galaxy Watch 8 has a more square bezel, with the same round face. But is a bit lighter than previous versions, even between my old Galaxy Watch 7 40mm, and my new 8 44mm.
It's more responsive, making tasks easier. The updated OS has at least one feature I've been waiting for: being able to close apps, giving you some extra battery life.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the new Galaxy Watch 8. Has a large, clear, easy to read face. Smooth integration with my phone, and great UI. Long battery life as well.
