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.
A fully charged watch is getting discharged with in 20 hour with half features selected, so to use full functionality of watch have to charge twice a day. . the watch has to measure health 24X 7 but it is haning fpr 2 hours on charging board

I had the Watch 6 for a couple of years and really liked it. When I saw the special on Watch 8, I actually hesitated since the Watch 6 was performing well. But the trade-in opportunity moved me to decide for the Watch 8. And I am so glad! The performance is noticeably superior. It is well worth the switch.
