Lighter, larger screen & lower profile than my last G5 with much crisper screen. Lots of features & I love the Samsung Health app to help me track my readings, exercise, water & food intake, and much more. I do prefer the old band on the G5 but Im getting used to the new siliconized rubber adjustable band. Well worth the money
Finally upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. What an upgrade. The watch is much lighter and more powerful than my watch 4. I thought that I would miss the mechanical dial, but the digital works just fine even with a case on it. Definitely glad that I stuck with Samsung...
I like it 👌 i traded in my Galaxy watch ultra (2024) for this one there was something I just didn't like about it but i really like this new one (Galaxy watch 8) it basically does everything the Ultra does except it's smaller, lighter and in my option looks better than the Ultra so im really satisfied with this one maybe ill keep it longer then a year or maybe not depends on what the next years model is all about lol I actually wish they would come out with a new Galaxy watch Active i really liked that one and was probably my favorite out of all of them but we're have to see
Its slimmer and feels less bulky. Looks amazing. Pics online dont do it justice. AI is pretty cool too. Overall this is the best smart watch ive ever owned and worth the upgrade from the watch 7 to the watch 8.
Very disappointed especially with the belt it so uncomfortable I hate design of the belt.. it's causing me to remove certain time fue to discomfort.. btw I like the dual design and the battery features and also the light wieght...

Significant sleeker upgrade from previous version I owned. Like the brighter display; colors are intense. Battery life is OK. No need to charge it everyday! Playing around with different watch faces and exploring a multitude of apps, tiles and notifications. Can't find a pickleball Samsung fitness app to choose though.
