[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I need a watch to track my health, my first stop was Samsung. I need they would have what I need, boy was I happy to find my newest love. The menu options are easier to understand, and I love that I cam see the battery percentage of my phone and watch. I've had other galaxy watches before and it was always a struggle to change out my wristbands, but with the Watch8i just have to push the button and it realeses.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought th3 galaxy watch 8 last year when it came out. Sorry to say this is not as good as the previous watch. The battery dies too quick and the health app does not update all the time. Hoping the next series will be better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Galaxy Watch8! I primarily use it for tracking health data and it doesn't disappoint! It monitors my HR, O2, breathing, sleeping, exercise and more. The Galaxy AI helps with my sleep and energy levels and I've noticed an improvement in both since purchasing the watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Galaxy Watch for a week now. As a first tike smartwatch user, the learning curve was easier than I thought it would be.
The included health app is great, allowing you to scan food in by barcode without an additional subscription, and the notifications/goals aren't overwhelming or annoying like other food apps can be.
I love that its compatible with various golf range finder/GPS apps, and find the embedded GPS to be comparable to a range finder. It's great being able to pull up distances quickly without having to pull my phone out. I just set the "knock" gesture to open my preferred golf app and it works great.
Speaking of gestures, the pinch one set to review notifications is awesome. I never miss a text now.
All in all, I really can't find anything to complain about yet. It's been a great purchase.
