[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded my previous Samsung Watch to the Watch 8. I use it daily to track my steps and fitness. It really helps me stay on track.

I have an autoimmune disease and so it is great to see how times of the day/and what I do influence my stress levels and cause flare ups when I thought it was all normal.I am learning about it and noticing what my triggers are daily through the app. Flip side, so expensive and should come with free headphones/earbuds.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is good. My biggest problem is the watch doesn't stay connected to the phone. And after bout 5 hours have to charge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve really been enjoying my Galaxy Watch 8 so far. The sound quality for calls is phenomenal, and I love how seamlessly it connects with my phone. I also enjoy the Galaxy AI features. The customization options are great, and the updated sensors definitely seem improved and more accurate. The battery life is decent overall, but if you prefer keeping the display on all the time, it could be better. My only real complaint is that the watch bands could be a bit longer. They fit me snugly, and they don’t fit my husband comfortably at all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look of my Galaxy 8 watch and the ease that I can change the watchface to match my mood and uses. This is the third galaxy watch I've owned and love three Health monitoring features along with the interactive lab features. The number share option is fantastic when my phone is inaccessible and I can easily use my watch for texts and calls. Also, Galaxy AI makes interacting with my watch using voice commands so much more efficient. I will definitely recommend samsung galaxy watches to everyone that is interested in adding a wearable to their mobile experience.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started wearing a Galaxy watch a few years back when my job would write us up for being on the phone, the rules have changed but honestly it just makes my job easier...I can call, text, && even watch a little YouTube even if my phone is at home.. I've upgraded through 3 watches over the years && they've all exceeded expectations!!
