I love the style of the round face; this is my second watch from Samsung, and I love it.

The 40mm size is perfect for me, due to my wrist size. The band fits perfectly and the watch's face is more attractive than my S6 Galaxy it replaced. The health features, text alerts, Ring alerts, weather app, GPS that tracks distance and time, etc. I like everything about this watch. Nothing missing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my watch and all the upgrades from previous watch. I only wish the battery would last a little longer but it's way better than what it was with my old watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The new band is easy to attach but won't lay flat for charging. The outer edge makes the watch look clunky compared to prior models. Functionality is great. I like the new tiles format and that the watch face options are the same.

The worst watch ever! I regret I traded my 6 for this 8. It turns on when you put it on the charger and by midday it's dead. I tried turning it off while on the charger but the off button greys out. My 6 would last for days. This will be my last one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My review

Posted by: Mason
I love the Galaxy watch a lot I use it everyday but I find it challenging because the battery drains so quickly I have tried everything to do the durability is okay I dropped my watch accidentally on my concrete ramp in the lift to decent little dents in the titanium the watch band around the Buckle is ripped so it makes it challenging to put on and the watch bands are just so expensive the ergonomics are pretty good I just don't like how I don't get notifications like I should the interface is okay I just really feel like it's pointless to have the screen raised like it is because I crack my screen protector every time I put it on it doesn't even last a week because of the race screen

I love the battery on this watch, my 5 did stay charged as long as my 8. I also like the clearer screen and the fact the band is so easy to change.
I would recommend this to a friend!
