I've had to reset it several times when screen touch does not work. I have not had to do this with previous version. Also lines show up around quadrants. Don't know what they are.

Battery life is awful

Samsung galaxy 8 battery life is awful. Sometimes not lasting through a day even with battery saving settings on, low light and only touch activate. I can't wear it to bed because I have to charge it every night. Also not fast charging as it says in description. I can't get my texts to show up on the screen. I have to manually go to the text app which is frustrating. I don't think the watch is worth the hype or thr high costs. It takes about an hour to charge. Other than that, I like the features, different customizable display, and being able to receive phone calls, text or other notifications.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, January 12, 2026
Good day Jenna,
Thanks for providing us with detailed feedback regarding your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your critiques provide valuable insights that will assist us with improving our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also have Samsung Care+ as an option which can be added to an eligible device. It's similar to extended warranty and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. 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. Please take a moment to review, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. In regards to your text messages, please check your notification settings in the Galaxy Wearable app, ensure modes like Do Not Disturb are off on the watch, confirm your phone's Bluetooth is on and connected, and verify your messaging app has notifications enabled on both devices and set to "Always show on both devices" in the Wearable app. Feel free to let us know if you would like any further assistance after checking out the resources shared below by contacting Samsung Support at your leisure. Thank you for being a valued Samsung customer.

It's difficult for me to give an assessment because the criteria need to be evaluated separately.
The device itself is good, attractive, lightweight, and has many features.
But personally, smart watches don't suit me because they require constant charging, which is very inconvenient for me.
Perhaps in the future, when it becomes possible to make a good, high-capacity battery for watches, I will use a smart watch.

I'm enjoying all of the functionality of this Samsung watch. In a glance so much information is provided, depending on the watch face chosen. My only issue is having to charge it almost every day.
I would recommend this to a friend!
