Howdy Anonymous, Thank you for reaching out to share your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We value your candor as we continue to improve our product line based on our consumer feedback. If the 44mm case size of your Galaxy Watch8 feels more substantial on your wrist than you've intended, please take a moment to check out the 40mm case. Since the Galaxy Wach8 utilizes Wear OS, it only supports apps specifically developed for that platform. Compatibility limitations, apps not being optimized for smaller screens, storage limitations, or apps being hidden/uninstalled can also be what you're experiencing with some of your apps. If you would like to share additional feedback with us regarding your experience or if you would like any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to Samsung Support at your earliest convenience. Thank you for choosing Samsung! - Debra

I upgraded to the Watch 8 from the Watch 5 primarily for the additional health monitoring available. So far, I am very happy with this watch as the battery lasts longer and I have more insights as to my health.
