[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love my Galaxy watch. It has everything you need from a phone, right on your wrist. I love that I can get calls and messages on my wrist while my phone is on silent.
Battery life is so short. Im constantly charging it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there Terk, 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.

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.

Great looking watch but it doesn't connect to my watch. Have the Galaxy 6 classic and had no problems. Seriously not happy. None of the suggested fixes do not work!

Hi Kayg87, Thanks for taking the time to reach out about your experience with your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. As we strive to be innovative and make improvements on the design and functionality of our products, your feedback is invaluable. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. If I'm understanding correctly, it seems as though you may be having trouble connecting your phone. If your watch will not pair to a phone, or if it randomly disconnects, restart your watch. You should also make sure the Galaxy wearable app is up to date, but it may be necessary to reset the app and unpair your watch. Feel free to review, "Samsung smart watch will not connect to a phone: to help resolve what you may be experiencing. If you would like any further assistance afterward, please let us know by contacting Samsung Support. Thank you for being a cherished Samsung customer. - Debra
