Customer Reviews for Samsung - Refurbished Excellent - Galaxy Watch8 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm BT - Graphite - (2025)

After being a loyal Samsung user for over a decade, I can confidently say the Galaxy Watch 8 is in a league of its own. The health and sleep tracking are incredibly precise, but it’s the personal touches—like having my favorite photo right on my wrist—that make it special. It’s the perfect blend of high-tech utility and personal style. Truly, what more could you ask for?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from my Galaxy Watch 5. Love the new bezel look. Attaching and detaching the watch band works well. Wish I would have stuck with the darker bezel color instead of silver. I was trying to match the Buds Pro 4 silver color but that didn't work out. Watch is amazing regardless.

I love that this watch tracks so many things and that is why I upgraded from the Watch5. The battery life is about half of that of the Watch5 and most of the time, my notifications don't work. I do love the small form factor but I have lost a good deal of functionality. This is more a decorative watch than the functionally smart watch I wanted. I want my Watch5 back but I already traded it in. SADFACE
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Blood pressure feature is disabled for the USA due to FDA. Just don't call it blood pressure. Call it something else like VascPress.

The battery life is terrible. You have to charge it everyday. Otherwise, it is a nice watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a Galaxy S3 Frontier as my previous Galaxy Wear and going to this was a massive step up. The overall performance is great, the custom ability to add apps that I couldn't prior, as well as being able to enjoy music straight from the watch is nice as there are times my phone is charging in another room. The size is great and the band fits perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Galaxy Watch8 44mm is a great Android smartwatch with excellent display, health features, and smooth performance. The main downside is battery life, which usually requires charging every 1–2 days.
I would recommend this to a friend!
