Good day Imre, Thanks for providing us with your detailed feedback regarding your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your insights as we improve our product line to better suit your needs. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also have Samsung Care+ as an option which can be added to an eligible device. It's similar to extended warranty and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It may cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model offers a 325mAh battery while the 44mm model offers a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded my previous Samsung Watch to the Watch 8. I use it daily to track my steps and fitness. It really helps me stay on track.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Google Gemini AI: Comes built-in. You can prompt the watch with your voice to schedule calendar events, start customized workouts, or control your phone's camera shutter.Vascular Load Monitoring: Analyzes your nighttime heart and circulatory data to track daily stress and provides actionable lifestyle tips.AI-Powered Energy Score: Combines your sleep duration, heart rate, and previous day's activities to give you a daily snapshot of your physical readiness.Tailored Running Coach & Body Composition: Assesses your running level from 1 to 10 and builds customized 3-to-5-week training programs. You can also pair it with smart scales to track advanced body metrics.Advanced Sensors: Includes an optical heart rate sensor, skin temperature tracking, ECG (Electrocardiogram), and an Antioxidant Level scanner.
I have an autoimmune disease and so it is great to see how times of the day/and what I do influence my stress levels and cause flare ups when I thought it was all normal.I am learning about it and noticing what my triggers are daily through the app. Flip side, so expensive and should come with free headphones/earbuds.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is good. My biggest problem is the watch doesn't stay connected to the phone. And after bout 5 hours have to charge.
