[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, yeah, the watch. Okay, so always purchase new Galaxy watches when they come at home there, you go. Nothing really beats them. I mean, battery life is spectacular. Whether it, if you're at work or if you're busy and you aint got time to pull your phone out and check it and read it. Right there on the launch, or if you don't feel like pulling your phone out of your pocket, whenever you go to check it out somewhere and you can use the nfc features and what I just text people, I mean, it's just yeah, it benefits everyday lifestyle
Galaxy Watch 8 is Unnecessary a HUGE WATCH and the most boring watch I've ever worn! It's a stupid design and No Hardware upgrades over Galaxy watch 7. It's also Not compatible with older Galaxy Watch bands. Completely unimpressed. However, Smart Switch Software is much better, but still buggy, as you will have to do 2 restores from a Backup, but it did restore successfully except the notifications The Watch does not sit correctly on a charger pad as the band will not go flat..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Galaxy Watch 8. The slimmer lighter design is more comfortable and sits better on the wrist. The new AI features for health tracking on my workouts is a clear step ahead of my Galaxy Watch 7. I am blown away with how much of an improvement was made all around from the design to the internals of the new watch.
