I have sat out the smart watch craze for many years, but was enticed by the price offered by Samsung on the Watch8. After roughly 6 weeks of use here's my assessment. As a watch it is functional and I like the fact you change the watch face to match the occasion or mood. Integration with my Galaxy S24 has been a good experience. No issues with set up or connectivity. I have a small wrist, so the 40MM size and the thin profile work well for wear. The heath tracker seems less calibrated than models specifically geared for that purpose. The band size options are limited. The medium size is a bit long for me and is not adjustable. All in all a good purchase that I would make again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This watches battery drained in under 3 hours with most of the features turned off. It was the 40 mm size. Very disappointed, and I returned it within a week.
