[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Galaxy watch a d i love them. GALAXY 8 does so much, my favorite is the health features. Also like the trade in opportunity- keeping my drawer cleaned out and helped with getting new watches. This morning had a learning session with AI. Thank you Samsung!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch functions flawlessly and looks good when you put a cover on it. By itself it doesn't nit look appealing. I feel like they could have done a better job with the aesthetics. I am not a fan of the square look with a round touch screen. The former model looked better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been diagnosed with CAD (Coronary Arterial Disease) and this watch is a life saver. Has warned me when my health is at risk. Wow!
This is a great watch with lots of bells and whistles. I like all that it does, except for the heart rate monitor is way, way off. My actual heart rate was around 70 during a relaxation yoga class, and the watch alerted me saying my heart rate was 180!! NOT!! It kept showing I was around 125 to 130, when in fact I was between 60 to 70. Then all of a sudden it showed 63 and started reading correctly. It did the same thing yesterday when I was doing weight training... pulse rate showed way higher that it actually was. Everything else is working great thought. Watch is also very comfortable to wear.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't owned a Samsung Watch in a very long time and boy have they come a LONG way! This is my honest review of the Galaxy Watch 8
Right out of the box my first impression was "Wow, this watch is BIG!" I am a petite woman and usually go for the smaller watches and step trackers, like fitbit. However, after playing around and learning everything this watch can do - it makes sense. For instance, the customizable watch faces would not work well with a small screen. Which actually is one of my favorite features about this watch.
The sound quality is pretty good, as well. I have made and received calls with no problems hearing the person on the other end and they had no problems hearing me. I don't use this feature much, because I don't want to be THAT PERSON who talks loudly on calls in public spaces. IYKYK. But it is a useful feature to have, nonetheless. I usually use it to take calls while I'm cooking. It totally beats having to stop what I am doing to run and find my phone.
I really am enjoying this watch. I am still learning it, and I am having fun with it. The only cons that I can think of is the battery life doesn't last as long as I would hope, but I also am used to smaller watches that are just basic and don't do everything that this watch does. And I do wish that it was a little bit smaller, but I do like the fact that I can change the band and that is probably what I will do.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is great and I absolutely love the OS where you can scroll down to access apps. I even use my hiking app on here! It connects via Bluetooth easily to my phone, no problems! Can water lock it and remotely use your phone camera. While I love the feel of the band update to where it's only textured on the inside now, I do prefer where the band also moves up, not just down - which was a change from the 7. The battery life is pretty good as well - depending on what apps you use! I'll keep buying Samsung!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all the new health/fitness tracking features on the watch and everything it does. The only disappointment is how often it randomly decides to stop showing notifications on the watch and it has to rebooted. At best once a week, at worst it's multiple times a day. But other than that I love everything about it. I have not tried any of the Galaxy AI
