I'm a big fan of Samsung as a brand in last 20 years, including phone, watch, ear buds, tv, washing machine appliances, you name it, most of them but this has been a disappointment in design , what the designer was thinking in terms of hexagon cuts, terrific bad design that didn't work for me
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your candor and critiques as we continue to improve the design and functionality of our product line. The Galaxy Watch8 offers a thinner, cushion shape design, with a significantly brighter display, along with new health features like vascular load and antioxidant index, and the introduction of the Gemini AI assistant compared to the Galaxy Watch7.

The fit and finish feels much more premium than the past model I had. The customizability of each screen on the watch is awesome and can allow for a simple or very complex UI. The fabric band I got with it has been the most comfortable watch band I've have...While I would like to see a more robust band design that could use magnets or something, the Velcro works pretty well, or at least has short term.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is absolutely amazing. The style is very comfy, perfect for any small wrist. My favorite part is the alarm clock. You can play music instead of a chirp sound and boy is it loud. The health options are also great. And very acurate.
The Galaxy 8 watch trumps the Galaxy 6. The 8 is way more user friendly even tho they are pretty much almost the same in design. I almost didn't buy a new watch bc I hated my Galaxy 6 so much. I liked my Galaxy 3 better than the 6!!! So if you're looking to upgrade, this is your sign!
The features on the device is different (better) .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using my galaxy A15 for almost everyday activities is great and I get good responses on the things that I choose to use here with the A15. I have relayed on the device for complex situations and was appreciative with the results. My Samsung A15 is one phone I would like to up grade to the time is right.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Galaxy Watch 8 with Galaxy AI is fantastic smart watch. The size, shape and new tile layouts are fantastic. Highly recommended
