[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Watch 8 is an amazing watch, I love the way the watch looks and feels on the wrist. Samsung had bright back a similar look to the watch 2018 design and upgrade for today. I love the style, which looks luxurious, simple and classy at the same time. Samsung has added additional features to the watch 8 functionality, and ease of use. I love using the health benefits that watch offers paired with Samsung health, makes it so much easier when I don't have my Samsung Z fold 7 near by. The watch 8 is also an amazing watch thst feels comfortable to wear to sleep to track sleep patterns. An amazing accessory to my other Samsung devices.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been a galaxy watch users since Active 2, now the watch 8 is on another level when it comes to the health options. AGE and Antioxidants index are nice additions.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came from a previous generation of Galaxy watch and what was a significant upgrade for me was how slim it feels now. Feels much easier to wear on all occasions, however in the future I would love a magnetic clasp option.
Watch is nice, but vibration for notifications is pretty non existent. 99% of my notifications are missed because i cannot feel the vibration. Thiis was the main purpose for purchasing the lte version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have Galaxy watch active which did not work when I upgrade my phone to s22 ultra. I gave it to my niece and bought the galaxy watch 7 which unfortunately has a so-so battery life. I then traded this when the new Galxy watch 8 came out. Superb battery life even with the bigger screen. I even use remote and after market straps on this to match my attire.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my first galaxy watch active before switching to galaxy watch 7 that I traded for this Galaxy watch 8. The reason for the trade is because my galaxy watch 7 last only from 6-8 hours considering it's brand new. With the watch 8, it last more than 12 hours which is enough for my daily use. I even use original and after market straps to my attire with this watch
