I love my new Galaxy watch! It is beautiful and very useful. I like how it analyzes my sleep, helps me keep active and keeps me notified when my phone is not at my reach.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I needed to replace my Watch active 2. I had been looking at the 7 and ultimately decided on the 8. The face seems bigger even though it is the 40mm. Lots of cute bands can be purchased on other websites. Lots of watch face choices. I LOVE MY WATCH!

I dont like that my energy score gets flagged everyday and I end up getting daily notifications saying to improve my sleep schedule. I work 3rd shift. I'm not going to quit my job just to satisfy a health app.
AOD feature on watchfaces are still an issue. Time read on AOD screen doesn't keep up with actual time and I ended up being late for work one night because of it.

I love all the features of this watch with one exception, the battery life. I have done everything that I can think of to extend it and I still cannot get more than 36 hours off of a full charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!
