Don't know why these watches can't last for more than a day and a half This is my 3rd upgrade and it's my own fault that I get sucked in

Hi Gary, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your honesty as we strive to provide the best products with superior functionality on the market to our customers.

It may cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model comes with a 325mAh battery, and the 44mm model has a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode.

I upgraded from the Watch7 to the Watch8 just to have updated functionality with the Samsung Health app. This watch does everything I need and allows me to keep up with texts and alerts without having to look at my phone. I definitely recommend if you like smart watches.
It was really good. I like the model and watch strip, it's convenient and easy to wear, and I like the color I chose. I'm not satisfied with the battery. It's draining fast. Apart from that, yeah, I like the watch.
The Samsung Watch 8 is more comfortable to wear than previous models due to being more lightweight. The larger screen is easier to read even in bright sunlight.
