I like the watch but the battery life stinks! Having to charge it twice a day is annoying, I expected better from Samsung.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Battery Life
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: HumBleNessReal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear my galaxy watch almost all the time except when it needs charging. I used Galaxy Watch 7 before this one. Most prominent change and very beneficial is the most improved battery life and Galaxy AI. I can last to about 2 days, AOD on, daily workouts +/-45 mins. Galaxy AI is way responsive than before. And this device os way smoother. I am happy I upgraded to 8 from the 7.

I previously had the S3 Classic and when I upgraded my phone it was no longer compatible. I'm glad I decided on this watch, it's the only one that wouldn't look comically large on my wrist. It's nice and sleek, but I wish the battery lasted longer. I only get about a day from it.

The best purchase I've done online in the last few months. I wanted to upgrade my watch from a watch 4. The watch 8 was easy to get with a trade in from old device. Will highly suggest again
I would recommend this to a friend!

Previous watch 6 lasted days. Watch 8 only really goes a day even with features off. No point of sleep tracking if you must charge nightly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

THE CHARGE DOESNT LAST
on November 8, 2025
Posted by: MrsPlunkett
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn't stay connected to my phone. I can charge it to 100% and I can get probably 18 hours. If I charge it to 92% I get maybe 8. Wish I would've kept my 7 it was worth it this IS NOT
