Hi Rushi,
Thanks for taking the time to review your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your honesty as we strive to provide the best products with superior functionality on the market to our customers. 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 check out, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. Let us know if you would like any further assistance afterward by reaching out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a staunch Samsung customer.

Watch wouldn't hold a charge for longer than 2 hours. Says it holds a charge for days but that was a lie.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Feature-rich with accurate health metrics, but the battery life is poor—barely lasting a full day on a single charge. A larger battery is needed, as the limited battery life outweighs the other positives for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
