Customer Reviews for Samsung - Refurbished Excellent - Galaxy Watch8 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm BT - Graphite - (2025)

Overall the intuitive nature of the devise is solid. While this versions has significantly more options than I will ever use, I appreciate the range of choices as well as the grouping of similar options.
The sleek profile is one of the most appreciated parts. The watch looks dressy or casual without the geeky sport/athlete overtone.
Battery life is acceptable but running on the “battery saving” setting negates many of the features I got the watch for,

Watch 8 is nice but changing the way bands connect make my old band worthless.
The battery life is awful. You can't use animated watch faces or some apps because they drain the battery fast. My watch 5 was better.

Battery life could be better, but I can get a full day anyway which is good enough. Classic was too bulky and heavy for me so I got this and added a screen protector and small bezel for the look.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Howdy Oscar,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your constructive input as we improve our product line. If you feel as though the speaker on your Galaxy Watch8 is not loud enough, please begin by checking your volume settings in the Wearable app and watch Settings. Please ensure that your speaker isn't wet or blocked. Then, restart your watch and update the software, if needed. Sometimes, you can quickly reset the volume of your device during calls by turning it down to zero and then back up to 100. Lastly, debris in the speaker grill could be the culprit so be sure that your device is clean. If you have any questions for us or if you would like any further assistance, please feel free to contact Samsung Support at your leisure. We're always happy to listen and work toward a better experience for our customers. Thanks for choosing Samsung!

Nice But Rated 3rd Against Other Wearable Devices

An abundance of features. I use it for health management primarily. I find it very rich with health measuring and monitoring capabilities. My biggest gripe is the database for searching food items. It needs lots of improvements. It doesn’t have as many food items as one would expect. And its search algorithm is horrible. If you don't type a food name exactly as they have it listed in the database, you'll never find it. Overall the watch is very useful and easy to operate. Samsung should study the stats on how well their Galaxy Watch products test compared to other wearable devices. Samsung falls behind in performance when compared to 2 other manufacturers' wearable devices.
I would recommend this to a friend!
