Customer Reviews for Samsung - Galaxy Watch8 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm LTE - Silver - (2025)

Upgrading my Galaxy Watch 4 to an 8 was a fabulous choice. I didnt "need" a smartwatch after retiring, but after having one, there was no turning back for me. Samsung makes quality products that last which makes it worth the $. Besides, they are sleek, have multiple functions, and have many options for faces.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how straightforward, handy, and sleek the Galaxy8 LTE watch is! Im not big into tracking my health but that's one of my favorite features it counts my steps, tracks my sleep and stress, while also providing a daily energy score. I use it's timer for work or calculator for adding up points in a game.
I added a search engine and love my mini internet lol. Above all of course it makes texting and calling so convenient!
I've ALWAYS wanted to have a galaxy watch and I'm glad I finally got one! 10/10 experience!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy ai features are great! I love everything about my watch. It keeps me motivated to keep up with my exercise and reminds me of appointments etc. It's the best watch I've ever purchased and does exactly what it was promoted to do. Very pleased!

My watch has become a part of my body.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mother, stepmother, partner, Secretary to a Board, and stroke survivor, my Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 really helps me get through my day to day life. Between doctor appointments, rehab, family stuff, meetings, the gym, and regular everyday chaos, having everything right on my wrist just makes life easier.
I use my calendar and reminders constantly, so being able to quickly check notifications, calls, texts, and appointments without always grabbing my phone helps a lot. Especially on busy days when I already got too much going on.
The health features have also helped me a lot after my stroke. Tracking my heart rate, sleep, steps, workouts, and activity helps keep me motivated, even on the hard days. The gym has become part of me trying to get back to myself, and I like being able to track progress without making it complicated.
Galaxy AI has actually been useful too. It helps keep things organized and simple instead of feeling like extra stuff I’ll never use.
And music? Whew. Music gets me through rehab, workouts, walks, cleaning, stressful days… all of it. Being able to control it from my watch without stopping what I’m doing is probably one of my favorite features.
The battery life is good, it runs smooth, and it fits into my everyday life without me having to adjust to it. For me, that matters.

The galaxy watch 7 seems like it worked smoother and cleaner then 8. The 8 is lighter but was very baggy. The 8 doesn't have some new features. I had to keep restarting it to fix the lag issue . Sometimes it just wouldn't recognize.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, May 15, 2026
Good day Drew,
Thank you for finding the time to share your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to improve our product line to best suit the needs of our customer base. If the watch screen is slow to respond, frozen, or not responding at all the issue could be caused by outdated software, a third party app, or even the watch's physical condition. Unclean hands, optional accessories, gloves, and sharp objects can also prevent the screen from responding properly. The Galaxy Watch8 offers a new 11% thinner cushion design, a 3,000-nit peak brightness display, and new, more advanced AI-driven health features, specifically the Vascular Load tracker for arterial health and an Antioxidant Index. It also features improved sleep and running coaching. Please take a moment to review the resources shared below to help resolve what you've described. If you would like further assistance afterward, do not hesitate to reach out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer.
