Battery life is a joke.It lasts 15 hrs, unless you switch to power savings.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that you can answer your phone and make calls. The texting is not very easy due to size. I do like the health and fitness apps it has including keeping or monitoring heartrate, if you exercised. Most of all I liked that I could go swimming too.. the battery need improvement but over all I enjoyed having this product, and wear it quite often.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I'm doing work I don't want to have to pull phone out to check every notification, so having a watch to quickly peak at saves me a lot of trouble.
Audio controls, calculator, camera view, heart rate monitor, voice recorder and other apps are super helpful too and keep me from having to use my phone as much.
The screen is clear and responsive. Really enjoying my first smart watch.
Upgrading my Galaxy Watch 4 to an 8 was a fabulous choice. I didnt "need" a smartwatch after retiring, but after having one, there was no turning back for me. Samsung makes quality products that last which makes it worth the $. Besides, they are sleek, have multiple functions, and have many options for faces.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how straightforward, handy, and sleek the Galaxy8 LTE watch is! Im not big into tracking my health but that's one of my favorite features it counts my steps, tracks my sleep and stress, while also providing a daily energy score. I use it's timer for work or calculator for adding up points in a game. I added a search engine and love my mini internet lol. Above all of course it makes texting and calling so convenient! I've ALWAYS wanted to have a galaxy watch and I'm glad I finally got one! 10/10 experience!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hands down my best tool for tracking and motivating me to meet my daily fitness goals. So many options I have yet to explore it all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy ai features are great! I love everything about my watch. It keeps me motivated to keep up with my exercise and reminds me of appointments etc. It's the best watch I've ever purchased and does exactly what it was promoted to do. Very pleased!
