Great watch as all Samsung watches typically are.

Great watch as all samsung watches typically are. My Reason for only a 3 Star rating is the Battery life just isn't as good as it was when they were running TIZEN, which my first Samsung watch had. I Ordered the same size band as my GW 6 and it was too small. I ended up Cancelling that order as it was easier for me than to have them send me a larger band. Go Figure on that. After that, I just ordered a Titanium band that is magnetic to replace the Samsung Band. I like the bands on the Watch 6 from Samsung better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Watch is great except for one thing. Every now and then I get my notifications really late. Not 30 seconds or a minute but 4 minutes or sometimes later. I tried everything and nothing is fixing this annoying little problem. But besides this problem i think the watch is awesome!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the shape and style of this watch. Samsung, please continue with this style for future releases. Love the stainless steel shine as well.
Most smartwatches to me look too "sporty" which is fine but not the aesthetic I want with my watch. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic really captures the "classic" aesthetic as the name suggests.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Coming from Galaxy 6 Classic this feels small on my wrist. Works great, but I am missing the bigger watch immediately. Been wearing it close to a month and still notice the size diff. Maybe they'll make it larger again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there Tushar, Thank you for sharing your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. We value your feedback as we continue to improve the functionality and performance of our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on your device for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The accuracy of your watch's step measurement can be affected by the following factors: * Make sure your watch and the Samsung Health app are using the latest software. Environmental and skin conditions may affect how well the steps are recorded. * Steps are not counted when there is no hand movement in the exercise. For example, steps may not be recorded when pushing a lawn mower or cart because your hands are not moving. The watch is intended to calculate real step counts while walking. * Walk naturally without looking at the watch or your shoulders, elbow and wrist being raised. When you walk looking at the watch, the accelerometer will not properly measure your steps taken, distance traveled, or even calories burned. * The step count may not increase immediately when walking or exercising due to the step count algorithm. When the algorithm detects 10 continuous steps, the algorithm starts to count your steps taken and updates the step count. * You may experience a brief delay before the Steps app displays your latest step count. There may also be a delay before the Goal pop-up window appears. * If you use the steps tracker while traveling by car or train, vibration may affect your step count. You can test the step count performance by walking 50 continuous steps on a straight path. Walk naturally. If the number of steps are not recognized correctly after walking 50 continuous steps, your watch may need service. Please feel free to review, "Inaccurate steps on your Samsung smart watch" to learn more. Be sure to restart your watch and phone, ensure both devices and the Galaxy Wearable app are fully updated, and check for any app-specific updates in the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store to resolve what you may be experiencing with your inconsistent app functionality. If you have any questions for us or if you would like further assistance, please reach out to Samsung Support. Thank you for choosing Samsung! - Debra
