I find it a very useful tool if you want to measure the quality of your workouts as well as keep a review of your sleep and general condition. The size is perfect. I love it.
This watch is the perfect size for me. Bluetooth connection with my phone gives me quick access to notifications that I need. Bands are easily changed without having to worry about loosing pins. Great value! Highly recommend. Love it!
Was very excited to upgrade from my galaxy watch 4 to the galaxy watch 8. The watch is great. Some of the features are late with the notifications. I would get notifications on my phone and hear the notification thru my listening device but hardly recieve it on the watch 8. After a while I would get a flood of notifications and not all notifications. I did not have this issue with my galaxy watch 4. A bit disappointed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
