[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This galaxy watch is a great improvement to my productivity. No longer wrestling with pulling my phone out of my pocket every notification and can even start my truck with my Ford app! Galaxy AI is there when I need a quick question answered or to set a reminder at the touch of a button.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery is terrible!!! it lasts 2 days. My Fitbit lasted 6 to 7 days totally bummed about it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Galaxsy watch 8 I've had for about 1 years. It has been the best watch I've had from samsung. It is slim and light to wear. I love that on the app you could customize it and the best part it tracks my steps and send me notifications when im sitting for too long. I like that as im cleaning my home I could listen to music on my watch without needing to use my earbuds.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first watch purchase and I am more than pleased with it. I am loving it and all of its features.
The fact that I no longer have to pull out my phone when I receive texts is amazing.
I am getting adapted to and trying to use Galaxy AI often.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the watch, in fact I have the whole series, phone, watch and earbuds, I love everything from samsumg, how easy it works, the quality that has all the advances in technologies and etc., just a few more months and I hope to get my S26 because I love it. 🥰
I chose the G8W (Galaxy 8 Watch) as a Technology update and Features additions. There was nothing wrong with my three years old Galaxy 5 Version. After a bit of an uphill "Learning Curve", with additional features and additional settings choices, ALL my expectations were met or exceeded.
The Galaxy Watch 8 44mm has been a fantastic upgrade from my previous Watch 5. Right away, the performance difference is noticeable—it’s much faster and smoother in everyday use. Apps open quicker, navigation feels more responsive, and overall it just keeps up better without any lag.
One of the biggest improvements for me is the text-to-speech. It works much better than before, picking up my voice more accurately and responding faster, which makes replying to messages on the go a lot easier and less frustrating.
I also really love the gesture controls. They feel intuitive and actually useful, especially when my hands are full or I don’t want to touch the screen. It’s one of those features that sounds small but ends up making a big difference in daily use.
