This Watch survived a 115' fall without a scratch!
on June 14, 2026
Posted by: ParzivalWade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't say enough about how incredible the engineering of this watch is. It survived a 115' fall from a rollercoaster and didn't even have a single scratch on it and the find my watch function was such a wonderful experience after it fell otherwise I'd have never found it. The battery life is great and I love watching the water eject when I turn off waterlock feature. I've been a fan of Samsung for years and they just keep making great products not to mention Galaxy AI has improved every aspect of my day to day.

Galaxy Watch 8 is a most Samsung accessory!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant about getting a watch initially, but after getting my Galaxy Watch 8, I don't know how I went without it. It's user friendly and has lots of features that I grown to be accustomed to and literally now love!

Terrible app timeout settings
on June 12, 2026
Posted by: Sammy
Expertise:Expert
Do not buy this watch. The app timeout maximum on this watch is 2 minutes. That means if you use an app that you aren't actively hitting buttons to keep it awake like disc golf, golf, or fitness timing that EVERY TIME you need to look at it again it wakes the watch up to the home screen and you have to go into the app drawer to open your app back up. Why would it not by default wake back up to the last app you had open? I don't know, presumably because Samsung thinks they know what you want better than you do. In old versions of wear OS you used to be able to increase this timeout to an hour, now it's 2 minutes max. Especially terrible and annoying for disc golf and golf apps, DO NOT BUY for those.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, June 15, 2026
Good day Sammy,
Thanks for taking the time to share your candor with us regarding your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your sentiments as we continue to make improvements on our product line to suit the needs of our customers. To keep your Galaxy Watch8 display awake while using your golf app, please ensure to maximize your built-in Screen timeout and use the Show last app feature to keep the app on the forefront. By enabling "Show Last App", this setting will ensure that when you raise your wrist or glance at your watch, it re-opens your active golf app instead of the standard clock face. Feel free to check out the resources shared below. Let us know if you have any questions or if you would like further assistance by contacting Samsung Support at your leisure. Thank you for being a valued Samsung customer.

Upgrade from Galaxy Watch 2. Much better battery and the slightly different shape is a welcome improvement. Upgraded to a hybrid band which I like better than the previous "plastic-like" band. Haven't used all the features yet but look forward to trying them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great price for a great watch
on June 11, 2026
Posted by: ILuvSB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using this watch for my daily routines, it's comfortable to wear and light-weight. It almost feels like it's not there sometimes and I forget about it lol. I sleep with it as well and its comfortable, that way it can track my sleep patterns. I have problems with sleep so this feature is beneficial for me.
When I'm working, I appreciate the convenience of being able to answer phone calls and texts directly from the watch without needing to pull my phone out. Recording voice notes works well, too. I tested out how the sound quality would be on the other end of a phone call, and it actually sounds good, although it's not the most convenient to speak to your watch on a phone call, but if it's a quick phone call it's perfect for that.
When exercising, it easily tracks my steps and how long I have been doing a certain exercise. At the same time, I can check my heart rate and stress levels, and if it's too high it will help me breathe so that I can lower my levels back to normal. Lots of great health features at the tip of your finger without needing your phone in hand.
I can quickly check my calendar to see what I have next for the day. It helps to keep all my things organized, and I can easily go through my notifications, too.
Overall, I am really satisfied with this watch and think that the price is well worth it for all that it can do. I've had it for several years now and I've yet to have any issues with it so far, it continues to work as if it's brand new.
