Highly disappointed

I was given this watch as a gift, replacing a Fitbit Sense 2. The watch itself is great as just that, a fancy watch. As for the health tracking, which is the main reason I use a smart watch, only half the features work because I don't have a Samsung phone it is paired with (I have a Google Pixel). The battery is another utter disappointment- lasts maybe one day- old Fitbit would last almost a week.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there Fragocole,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. The Galaxy Watch8's functionality with non-Samsung Android phones includes core fitness tracking, Wear OS apps, and notifications, however, premium health features like ECG, Sleep Apnea Detection, Camera Controller, and Mode Sync are restricted to Samsung devices. Please keep in mind that essential features like sleep tracking, Body Composition, GPS, and Google Pay/Wallet work fully on your device even if you're utilizing a non-Galaxy phone.

Both of which can offer up to 30 hours of use with the Always On Display (AOD) mode enabled.

The watch is good. Haven't found a lot to use it for yet but starting to figure it out. Biggest complaint is the watch band. I have a big wrist and it's too short. I can buckle it but just barely. Crazy that large was not available in any of the styles.

Love my watch, but the battery life is terrible! Doesn't last more than 24 hours! Also, they advertise you can take BP with it but apparently it is not available is the US. Stop advertising that as a feature if not available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For me, my Watch 7 really wasnt that comfortable from the get go...I would have it on the charger for days because the back of it was too "bolbous" and dug into me. Hearing the 8 was thinner and more comfortable was enough to draw me in, i love it. Its so much better than the 7 for that aspect alone. The ai is cool too
I would recommend this to a friend!
