Love the big face

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GALAXY AI is great in it, big face, easy to swap out with other bands. Just wish the ring/notification tone could be louder. But all n all I LOVE IT

I can't leave home without it
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: CharlieK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it comes to smart watches, the Galaxy line of watches are hard to beat. I searched for years before finally settling on the Galaxy Watch 8. This watch has it all: large screen for viewing as my eyes aren't getting any younger. Supple, soft, silicon band that I can swap out in an instant with Samsung's push button watch band system. I can track anything from my golf game to my heart rate, blood pressure, weight, and other body metrics along with Samsung's fitness tracking to ensure that my vitals are healthy and my workouts are consistent. If I run across a problem I can't solve, I can ask the integrated Galaxy AI for a solution. It's like having the smartest best friend in the world sitting on my wrist. Thank you Samsung and thank you Galaxy Watch for a rugged, intelligent product that handles all of my needs in a convenient wristwatch that looks good too!

Posted by: Blueeyes1982
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought th3 galaxy watch 8 last year when it came out. Sorry to say this is not as good as the previous watch. The battery dies too quick and the health app does not update all the time. Hoping the next series will be better.

Great All Around Watch
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: p1nkfl0yd1an
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Galaxy Watch for a week now. As a first tike smartwatch user, the learning curve was easier than I thought it would be.
The included health app is great, allowing you to scan food in by barcode without an additional subscription, and the notifications/goals aren't overwhelming or annoying like other food apps can be.
I love that its compatible with various golf range finder/GPS apps, and find the embedded GPS to be comparable to a range finder. It's great being able to pull up distances quickly without having to pull my phone out. I just set the "knock" gesture to open my preferred golf app and it works great.
Speaking of gestures, the pinch one set to review notifications is awesome. I never miss a text now.
All in all, I really can't find anything to complain about yet. It's been a great purchase.

Slick, Stylish and Reliable
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Galaxy4Ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd Galaxy watches. Watch 8 is a standout, best smartwatch, sleeker design and stunning visual. Galaxy AI absolutely elevates the experience, providing detailed coaching on sleep, running, and load monitoring. Its fast, reliable, and perfect for overall health tracking. While the battery is better than 7, I still needs to charge daily. Considering thr AI insights, its not an issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I particularly love the health feature as It keeps me current on steps, heart health,
Energy score and syncs beautifully with my phone. I have everything at the to of my fingers, email, text, calendar, and weather. I love Bixby AI, it answers Amy question and helps me navigate the unknown features on my device.

Nice watch
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Love2Shop26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice display on the watch I love that I can see pictures from my ring camera and more. The Galaxy AI it's pretty neat on it as well. It tells time correctly has some excellent didplays or clocks. I love to find my watch in case I take it off and set it down which I do occasionally then I can find it. It gives great notifications from your phone, nice color display, it's fast, have some neat apps within it and some great settings. I like it as a tips, buttons & gestures and display section so you can find out about what this watch exactly does. I like I can tap to pay with my watch and it has a lock for safety. However I do wish it had better sounds and notifications more upbeat and up-to-date. Give bith notifications to phone and watch if you like. Overall a pretty cool watch.
The only downfall I see is that the battery doesn't last more than a day and a half maybe so you have to charge your regular and that's the worst.
