[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Galaxy AI features work really well and I am thoroughly impressed with them. Overall the upgrade from the first gen Galaxy watch to this 8th gen classic is a big one. There are many convenient features that work really well, in particular I like the fitness tracking. Sometimes there is some glitchiness that happens. Sometimes a panel won't load correctly or maybe an app doesn't view properly. Overall a great product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy 8 Classic is the best smartwatch yet! Easy to set up, best battery life and very user friendly. Galaxy AI helps keep my notifications organized for a smoother interface. The health/sleep monitoring feature is the best. This is top of the line for wearables, and definitely worth looking into.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look and comfortable bands with the new 8 watch but I am really disappointed with the battery on the watch it last maybe 3/4 of the day and forget about charging it it's a pain with the cord it comes with getting it to charge i will have to remove and place it multiple times before it actually starts charging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the Samsung watch 7 and I was a little hesitant to upgrade it with the Samsung 8 since I wasn't in love with the desing that is when I found the classic 8 and OMG, this is one of the prettiest, watch i have ever owned. Is very intimidating, but you feel like you have A QUALITY piece of jewlery on you. The wheel is a so satisfying to use, even when the watch is touch, I operate it with the wheel. The screen is so neat. I order the white , silver one and I already order las 15 straps , cause this is a watch I don't take off. I sleep with it i track EVERYTHING with it, I pay on stores with it. So 100000/10 . Never being happier with a Samsung gear so THANK YOU!
