Not impressed
on January 17, 2026
Posted by: bcopfla
I bought this watch after owning both Watch 4 Classic and Watch 6 Classic. I have to say that after owning the previous Classic watches, I am very disappointed with the Watch 8 Classic. The battery life is about twice that of the Watch 6 Classic, but that is about the only saving feature. The processor is supposed to be faster, but it's not apparent with most of what I use the watch for.
The new squircle design or whatever it's called is bulky and butt ugly. The deeply serrated bezel is not attractive. In my opinion, Samsung took a huge step backwards with this design. It's definitely not a classic look. It reminds me of what happened with Bud Lite. I hope that they return to the true classic design soon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Watch
on January 17, 2026
Posted by: Rabid Jack
I shifted away from Samsung watches with my last one being the Galaxy 5 - went to 2 high-end Garmin watches. While happy with the Garmins, particularly the battery time, I am completely impressed with the Samsung, particularly the LTE service to make and receive calls.

This new galaxy watch is great there's so much it can do and I haven't begun to dive into the main element yet. I really like the watch and the Samsung rep that helped me to make this happen thanks to all.

The battery life lasts for a little over 3 days of constant wear. It has all the functions i love from my Galaxy 4 Classic. The rotating bezel is nice and smooth and the watch looks great.
I would recommend this to a friend!
