I highly recommend this watch. I love the face size of the 44 MM. The watch face is dynamic and has vivid colors. The battery life gets better the longer you wear the watch, so just be advised because for the 1st week, the battery life was less than ideal. I wear this watch all day and night, taking it off only to charge it when I'm in the shower.

Best watch I have ever had... thinner than my last galaxy watch (5), it lays flatter and I love the new band design. Much easier to change bands.

I like this watch much better than the Galaxy6 I had. I would recommend the Galaxy8 for purchase.

I’ve been using the Galaxy Watch8 44mm (Graphite, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) for a while now, and I’m thoroughly impressed. This smartwatch strikes a perfect balance between modern design, comfort, and powerful health tracking — making it a clear upgrade from my old Gear S3 Frontier.
Right off the bat, I adore the sleek and lightweight build of the Watch8. It feels effortless on the wrist, even during sleep tracking — something I’ve grown to rely on nightly. Unlike the bulkier Gear S3, this one is so comfortable that I don’t even notice it while sleeping, and the sleep tracking has been surprisingly accurate and insightful.
One thing I do miss from the Gear S3 Frontier is the rotating bezel — it was such a satisfying and intuitive way to navigate. I won’t pretend that absence doesn’t matter, but Samsung has more than made up for it in other ways.
The screen real estate on the Watch8 is noticeably bigger than the Watch8 Classic, which is fantastic for reading metrics, notifications, and health summaries at a glance. This larger display makes interactions feel much more natural and engaging.
I also got the Athleisure band with my Watch8 — and I absolutely love it. It’s minimal, comfortable, and perfect for all-day wear, whether I’m working out, going about my day, or sleeping.
Where this watch really shines is in the health and fitness features. Compared to the Gear S3, the Watch8 offers a plethora of new sensors and health insights — from improved heart rate monitoring to advanced sleep and activity tracking — giving me a much more complete picture of my wellness.
In short, the Galaxy Watch8 is a fabulous upgrade from the Gear S3. Yes, I miss the rotating bezel, but the bigger display, comfort, modern design, and enhanced health features make this one of the best smartwatches I’ve used. Highly recommended!
I would recommend this to a friend!
