[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been hanging on to my Watch 5 Pro until recently. I made the move to the Watch 8 Classic. I was always worried about the difference in battery life, and the thickness of the Classic. I went to multiple retailers and different times and decided to get it. Haven't regretted it one bit. The rotating bezel is a first for me and I'm getting used to making use of it. The screen feels so smooth and I'm happy with the battery life. I'm glad a made the change and didn't wait any longer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seriously, this smart watch is blowing my mind. It tracks my steps with uncanny accuracy, which is a huge motivator. I can even check my heart rate right from my wrist, which feels pretty futuristic. Plus, getting notifications without digging for my phone is a total game-changer. It’s so convenient for staying connected on the go. The battery life is surprisingly good too, lasting for days. I'm really impressed with how much technology is packed into this little device. It's definitely become an essential part of my daily routine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the S26 as an early birthday gift and just had to get the watch because it's stunningly beautiful. But as I have been recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure, I was pleased to see all the watch can do to keep me informed of what's going on with my health. From the Advanced Sleep Coaching, Vascular Load, and Energy Score, I'm sure my new Watch 8 will be an invaluable tool on assisting me with keeping my health goals intact. The Galaxy AI is extremely seamless on this watch and once again it's just overall beautiful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxies Ai has been helpful with my new watch and new hobby of ebikes and mindfulness. Great product to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was said this before, and ill Say it again! I love Samsung products, but with the watch. It worked great for a while. Then, all of a sudden, the screen went black and it doesn't work anymore. No reason just dont. And the kicker is it was under a year that it died. THE Battery life could be better on a too! I am not sure if the Galaxy AI comes on it.

We appreciate your candor as we continue to improve our product line to best suit the needs of our customers.

Samsung Care+ offers you that peace of mind when added to your eligible devices (Phones, Tablets, Watches, Buds, Rings & PCs). Our partners at UbreakIfix are also available to assist you with any repair needs you may have. There are several reasons why the Samsung smart watch display cannot be adjusted and the screen appears darkened or gray.
