Battery charge will make you regret purchase.

Battery charging is bad. Why can I only get 10 hours of use, when fully charged, and when on 50% brightness and always on display?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall I like the looks and the functionality of this watch. I am glad I went withe the smaller size. The health features are ok and seem to give reasonable results to get ballpark info. Battery life is short, and playing with the watch faces and apps drain it quicker.This was expected, but at this point requires a daily charge.

Traded my Galaxy 7 for the Galaxy 8 and got a nice trade in value to make it worthwhile. The Galaxy 8 face is a bit bigger but still fits on my wrist well enough. Most of the same features with some additional Samsung Health options you couldn't get on the G7. Battery life is a little longer but nothing outstanding. Probably haven't set it up to use all its features. Still it was an upgrade worth paying for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Horribly designed watch.

This watch has a horrible design. Whoever thought of putting a round face on a square watch really needs to rethink a whole lot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
