[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd Galaxy watches. Watch 8 is a standout, best smartwatch, sleeker design and stunning visual. Galaxy AI absolutely elevates the experience, providing detailed coaching on sleep, running, and load monitoring. Its fast, reliable, and perfect for overall health tracking. While the battery is better than 7, I still needs to charge daily. Considering thr AI insights, its not an issue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Major upgrade from the galaxy watch 5 pro , wear it daily mostly for fitness and to check notifications . Battery is decent and has a fast recharge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GALAXY AI IS GREAT EVEN ON THE WATCH YOU CAN MAKE THE SCREEN LINKED TO YOUR PHONE AND CAN BASICALLY DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN IN YOUR PHONE ON THE WATCH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has a great new feature like the all new Galaxy AI which honestly does all the work for me. It helps me with my workout routines and makes great recomindations for a better experience overall. I love the better tracking of all my daily activities like my heart rate and stress, aswell as my sleep patterns. The easy controls makes this watch a great buy, it seemlessly connects to your phone or earphones and makes a great essental for everyday use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to upgrade my Watch to a Watch8 because of the age of my Watch4 and the fact that it was starting to not hold a charge. I received a great deal on the upgrade as well.
Galaxy watch 8 is the ULTIMATE disappointment. I really really wish I would have kept my 5. This thing is the biggest disaster I've ever owned from Samsung. The battery needs charging every day whether certain functions are disabled or not. Connectivity to my phone (26Ultra) is trash as well. I am as loyal to them as the "fruit family" is loyal to their brand is but this watch is saddening & sickening. Samsung; somebody, anybody, PLEASE do better or send back my Galaxy Watch 5 😞😩😢😭😭😭
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I particularly love the health feature as It keeps me current on steps, heart health, Energy score and syncs beautifully with my phone. I have everything at the to of my fingers, email, text, calendar, and weather. I love Bixby AI, it answers Amy question and helps me navigate the unknown features on my device.
