Huge Boring Watch with no Hardware Upgrade. Why?
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: DMMDMM
Expertise:Expert
Galaxy Watch 8 is Unnecessary a HUGE WATCH and the most boring watch I've ever worn! It's a stupid design and No Hardware upgrades over Galaxy watch 7. It's also Not compatible with older Galaxy Watch bands. Completely unimpressed. However, Smart Switch Software is much better, but still buggy, as you will have to do 2 restores from a Backup, but it did restore successfully except the notifications The Watch does not sit correctly on a charger pad as the band will not go flat..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback as we improve the functionality and performance of our product line. The cushion design has been newly added to Galaxy Watch8.

Slimmer and feature packed.
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Drew83
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Galaxy Watch 8. The slimmer lighter design is more comfortable and sits better on the wrist. The new AI features for health tracking on my workouts is a clear step ahead of my Galaxy Watch 7. I am blown away with how much of an improvement was made all around from the design to the internals of the new watch.

My first smart watch
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Sandy Beach
from Northern California
Expertise:Beginner
Today is my 3rd day with my new watch. I got the 40mm in silver with the small/medium sport strap in mint. The face is plenty large for my wrist, strap is roomy enough.
Cons: strap was very difficult to clip on!
Battery dies quickly!
I'd really like more watch faces that are more feminine, most seem very masculine. I'd love to
be able to use my phone screen saver for my clock face.
Pros: I'm loving the health monitoring, even an ekg and sleep apnea detector. I love the sleep monitor.
Nice to be able to check my notifications from my watch.
Fairly comfortable to wear. I haven't worn a watch steady so it's new.
Cons: strap was very difficult to clip on!

Upgrade to the Watch8
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Rolin8or
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had Samsung watches since the Watch5, the Watch8 with Galaxy AI is by far the best of them. This watch is thin, and light. I really like the squircle design, and the display of the screen is very clear. I thought about getting the Classic or Ultra this time, but I'm happy I got the Watch8.
