My old galaxy classics 4 was good, this one is very good upgrade. Super nice and bedt yet for the price I would yes. I definitely recommended this to anyone.
Like the new features, hate the square design and the battery life. Wish it looked better design wise and had a 3 day battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Howdy Deadskull, Thank you for sharing your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. Your constructive feedback allows us to make improvements with our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also offer Samsung Care+ which can be added to eligible devices. It's similar to an extended warranty plan and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It could cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. The battery life on the Galaxy Watch8 Classic varies depending on your usage. With a 445mAh battery, it offers up to 30 hours of use on Always on Display (AOD) mode. If you're experiencing less than optimal battery life, please take a moment to review "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to learn what factors, if any, may be impacting your device. If you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like any further assistance afterward, please let us know by contacting Samsung Support at your leisure.

Found this watch classy but functionalities related to LTE hard to use. Poor documentation and limited to major mobil internet providers. You have to look for back doors to use e sim and avoid postpaid expensive plans. Overpriced.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there Bill, Thanks for taking the time to review your Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. We appreciate your honesty as we strive to provide the best products with superior functionality on the market to our customers. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Samsung's range of smart watches includes both Bluetooth and LTE-compatible models, offering users a versatile wearable tech experience. The LTE models stand out by allowing users to receive calls and messages without needing to be tethered to a smartphone. However, activating the LTE service requires a plan from your mobile carrier—AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon—matching the one for your phone. Feel free to review, "Activate LTE service for your Samsung Galaxy Watch" to help resolve what you may be experiencing with your connectivity. Let us know if you have additional feedback to share by reaching out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer. - Debra

Upgraded from a Galaxy 5 and found a whole new experience. Fast, smooth and flexible. Only drawback is the battery life but I am getting 40 to 48 hours per charge.
I love the watch but I don't like the wrist band. I like the color but it almost seems like it's made for a child. My old galaxy 2 had a longer wrist band but the 8 seems small. I'm not a big person and my wrist is average size. The band does fit but I have to put it on the third hole from the end so I can just tuck in the rest of the band.
average size. My daughter and daughter in law wouldn't be able to wear the watch if they got one without buying a longer wrist band. It barely fits me. Samsung needs to go back to their old style wrist band or at least make them as long a the older model. I tried to upload photos but the app gave me an error code.
