I have had my watch for about 2 months & last night I charged my watch and then pick it up during charging to wear to bed and it would not cut on. Next morning still not on so I reset it still had a hard time for it to turn on. Finally I cut my phone off turned back on and reset my watch then it finally restored my information back to my watch. Don't know what happen but I really had a hard time getting it to come back on. This should not have happened with it being so new

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could never justify buying a smart watch until I started doing field service work but after actually owning the watch I see how much I was missing out! The watch is fantastic and I could never go back to life without it. The new galaxy AI is amazing and handles all the mundane tasks I used to do manually.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an extremely small wrist size and the Galaxy watch 8 does not overwhelm my wrist, which was my main concern with the new style. I have had the 3, 7 and now the 8 and this watch is extremely comfortable, especially since I use it to monitor my sleep.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well has everything you can think of so much customization and so many different ways to use it with working out the new ai stuff works very well it it's a perfect upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can use the the watch for the whole day. It's quite convenient to go around record my activities.
The watch offers an amazing overall UX, features, and functionality. However, battery life is a major issue: the device drains very quickly and does not last 24 hours on a full charge. Compounding this, the connected app significantly impacts the host device, noticeably draining the Samsung S24's battery life as well.
