Great watch as all samsung watches typically are. My Reason for only a 3 Star rating is the Battery life just isn't as good as it was when they were running TIZEN, which my first Samsung watch had. I Ordered the same size band as my GW 6 and it was too small. I ended up Cancelling that order as it was easier for me than to have them send me a larger band. Go Figure on that. After that, I just ordered a Titanium band that is magnetic to replace the Samsung Band. I like the bands on the Watch 6 from Samsung better
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic looks really elegant and expensive. Everyone spotted it since I bought it, while I have been enjoying the health related features of the watch. It is a huge update from last series of galaxy watch Classic that was very simple itself and battery was dying too fast. The battery on the new ones last up to 2 days of daily usage. Health features really helpful in tracking your activity as well as energy scores. Especially it helps me a lot with track the sleep function, where I found that oxygen level have been low during sleep and I took action on this matter. This helped me to overcome the headaches and tiredness. Love the product.
Battery not improved from my 6 classic looks smaller than 6 classic. Not impressed at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
