Watch 8 Classic. Hate it or Love it.

The white option I'll say is better choice to go. The black/gray reminded me of Watch 1 classic. How chunky it looked 😅 even for this one. This watch is a cleaner look. My only complaint I hope Samsung improves on the classic is audio/sound. Yes, they finally move the speaker in a better position where you can FINALLY HEAR while your wearing it. Now, please improve the audio, so I can use it on-the-go (LTE) without the need using my buds 3pro. All in all, amazing job on everything besides the design( seems like almost everyone hates the "squircle" look).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Watch great wallet stinks
on August 16, 2025
Posted by: FixwalletNpay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I jumped from a Gear 3 watch to a Classic 8 and love it. Love everything except the Samsung wallet and Samsung pay. Every morning my credit cards reset and I have to re-add them to my watch. I still don't know why but I've done everything to include reset my watch twice, reset the wear app and wearable plug-in on my phone twice, deleted the wear app and wearable plug-in on my phone once, and now I am in the middle of deleting the Samsung pay app and all Samsung wallet and pay plug-ins on my phone as I write. Again I love my watch and would have given this five stars and debated giving it three stars but kept it at 4 because it's just the wallet that is driving me nuts. Actually another thing that bothers me is it doesn't record my crunches count as accurate as the Gear 3 watch did. But I'm not highly upset yet because of the wallet and Samsung pay issues that are consuming me. Stay tuned...

Terrible tracking
on August 8, 2025
Posted by: mjake
I highly recommend not upgrading to thos watch. It is off on everything it tracks other than oxygen and heart rate. It is the worst galaxy watch I have owned regarding sleep which throws off other measures. Its way off on body composition. Save your money. I may be done with the samsung smart watches. This is my fourth and probably last.

Great Design and Health Features
on August 9, 2025
Posted by: Ryan4444
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new stainless steel body of Galaxy Watch8 Classic is sleek, stylish, and comfortable for even small wrists. Compared to the Watch7, I have found the Watch8 Classic to be more comfortable despite being much heavier, thanks to it being thinner and having a flatter surface that presses against your skin. The new rotating bezel and quick button add great functionality and customizability, and the battery life has also been impressive. The sleep score and energy score features enabled by Galaxy AI have been very insightful, and the automatic activity and workout tracking have also been great. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with this watch.

The best smartwatch so far!!!
on August 19, 2025
Posted by: Neofer78
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with this model. This is by far the best watch ever made by Samsung. So stylish, so beautiful, so perfect. Everywhere I go, people always ask for the model of my watch, You cannot ask for more ... Samsung always have the best trade in values and promotions. I always upgrade my watches and my phones. The user interface is super easy. Everyone can use it. And with the galaxy ai assisted by google, the possibilities are endless, so much assistance. Everyone needs to get a hold of this watch now.!!!
