Good for quick look for texts and calls
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: hjordan522
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having my watch to take a quick look to see who is trying to make contact with me. I also like that it counts steps, show stress and finds my phone.

This watch is amazing
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: Jackie44
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this watch everyday, especially at work. I use galaxy AI at work. It helps so much. Because I work in a dispensary and I'm constantly looking things up so it definitely comes in handy and never fails. I love it so much

Poor battery
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: Robert
Decent watch, however, the wallet app Samsung forces on to the device consistently consume ~10% of battery since full charge and cannot be removed (this is all in the background, since I do not use it). A simple software update to allow it to be removed, disabled, or restricted in background would make it a good watch.

Howdy Robert,
Thanks for sharing your detailed sentiments with us regarding your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your insights provide valuable critiques that will assist us with improving our product line to align with the various needs of our customer base. 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. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model offers a 325mAh battery while the 44mm model offers a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. Please take a moment to check out, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. It sounds like your watch battery may be draining prematurely due to looping background syncs or continuously pinging NFC hardware. To stop the drain immediately, force close the app, clear its cache, turn off NFC, and disable background data permissions. Let us know if you would like any further assistance after reviewing the resources provided below by reaching out to Samsung Support at your leisure. Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer.

Great Health Features
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: Kpal96
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite thing about this watch is all.the health features! I love being able to keep tracks of my meds, hr, and blood pressure all at the tap of my wrist. I also love how easy it is to record work outs and see how I can improve them! The sleep feature has also helped me prioritize my sleep and see where I can improve it!

Best Upgrade yet

I bought the Watch8 44mm and I must say the watch alone has changed my attitude. I had the Watch4 40mm and everything was small. I can now load my Shokz, get messages and can type on screen, can hear from watch great. Samsung Health, Tap n Pay all are awesome
I would recommend this to a friend!

Happy with watch, but no iFIT
on July 18, 2026
Posted by: Erin B
from Miami, FL
The watch is great, the battery runs out faster than my other smartwatch but the display is clear & it stays connected to my phone. The step counter is accurate & syncs easily with my phone. It's cute & comfortable. The only issue I have is that it was supposed to come with a 6 month trial of iFIT & I never received the activation code. I've been looking everywhere & reaching out to Samsung & iFIT, neither of which have been of any help. Overall, satisfied with the watch but wish I had the activation code for the 6 month free subscription I was offered when I purchased the watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Form, fit, And function all in one
on July 17, 2026
Posted by: BigEd
I have been using a Samsung Watch 8 for just over 6 months and I am very impressed with the features, battery life, and how it has made my diet and fitness tracking easier. It is easy to use, easy to clean, easy to recharge, and it has become an integral part of my daily wardrobe.
