Samsung has made the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic a beautiful stylish watch, that looks great, expensive and very functional. I love the screen and the U.I on the watch makes it so much more readable, and user friendly. It's a great looking watch and I am happy I got it.

Watch works ok but even at max volume notification and calls cannot be heard. Has a serious sound problem. This problem is also persistent with galaxy 7. The designers and engineers should review and test the product for all functions before putting out for sale. I returned 2 galaxy 8 classics.

The screen on my watch activates too easily, and it has been locked for 24 hours twice already — which is very frustrating. There doesn’t seem to be a simple way to lock the screen to prevent my kids from touching it. Right now, the only option I have is to take the watch off and put it back on once it locks, which isn’t convenient.

I used to have the gear s3 Frontier watch, but when I upgraded my phone to the latest Samsung model, I couldn't connect to it anymore. So I got the Watch 8 Classic (like I needed to spend any more on tech). I am very pleased with the ease of operation and features. My only complaints are that controlling the volume on my phone from my watch is more obscure and it just barely lasts 2 days. I used to be able to charge my watch overnight and then wear it 2-3 days. I get that this model does much more and the pluses do vastly outweigh the minuses, but the shorter run time is, for me, one star's worth of disappointment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Classy with looks, small in size, very comfy on the wrist. Came down from my ultra as I thought the ultra was not getting the new health tracking features (but it actually does SMH) so yeah I have 2 watches. But anyways cons: compared to the ultra the speaker volume is low almost unhearable at times, vibration kinda weak too. Pro: looks good, feels good, battery life with aod on is at least a full day which is good enough for me but my ultra I get almost 2 days and this is with all bells and whistles on on both devices. New lug system is sweet just like in the ultra but doesn't use ultra size bands. Rotating bezels is nice but not so use full and scrolling via screen is faster and bezel turns only go 1 way can't scroll up and down with it so you end up touching screen anyways.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does not work seamlessly with non-Samsung device

This watch does not work seamlessly with my Pixel phone. My Galaxy Watch 4 Classic worked flawlessly with it, but I had to replace it since it is running slower as it ages.
