Nice watch dies in not even 8 hrs and it's not even tracking anything in real time, but steps.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I truthfully bought this watch for sleep tracking as I have adhd and fight sleeping thanks to the way my awesome brain is wired. I love that it gives options to help with calming your mind, and advice on how to "set the mood" for sleep. It's also been extremely helpful with getting back into a workout routine! I have it set to "shame" aka remind you to get up and move if you've been sitting to long. All in all I've been very happy with my purchase! I want to add that my battery life has been amazing as well since I had seen a lot of reviews with that being a con
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Watch8 Best Yet
on May 11, 2026
Posted by: Torileigh3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch8 is the third Galaxy watch I have personally owned. It is definitely the best yet. Stays connected to my phone with no issues. Features are easy to use and understand. Looks amazing. You just can't beat the quality of a Samsung.

Makes My Life easier
on May 11, 2026
Posted by: JimmyTheAce
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an UlTra 25 as well and having this watch makes things a lot easier. I don't bring my cards besides my id because tap pay is so much easier than having my entire wallet. When I'm walking around my gf city it also makes easier to follow google maps instead of constantly checking my phone. I'm an active person in general so it eliminates alof of the hassles that require a phone.
