Vibration is weak

So far I like this watch. My only complaint is that the vibration is weak. It would be nice if it could be made stronger through a software update.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like this watch but, the 30 hour battery life is simply not true. To get that life out of my watch , i would have to turn off all of the features and never use it. I can get about 14 hours of battery life with some of the features turned on and 30 second screen timeout. This is a shame because i was hoping to be able to take calls and answer texts without having to get my phone. But if i do my watch will be dead before my workaday is over.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Galaxy Watch8 Classic 46Mm Black Wifi/Bluetooth

I like the looks, size and feel of the watch very much, I'm still on the fence regarding the AI part of it. My over all opinion, It's a good price if your trading in another watch for it, I think it's a little bit on the high side price wise. I'm an older guy, so who knows, It's a keeper however.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does not work seamlessly with non-Samsung device

This watch does not work seamlessly with my Pixel phone. My Galaxy Watch 4 Classic worked flawlessly with it, but I had to replace it since it is running slower as it ages.

Classy with looks, small in size, very comfy on the wrist. Came down from my ultra as I thought the ultra was not getting the new health tracking features (but it actually does SMH) so yeah I have 2 watches. But anyways cons: compared to the ultra the speaker volume is low almost unhearable at times, vibration kinda weak too. Pro: looks good, feels good, battery life with aod on is at least a full day which is good enough for me but my ultra I get almost 2 days and this is with all bells and whistles on on both devices. New lug system is sweet just like in the ultra but doesn't use ultra size bands. Rotating bezels is nice but not so use full and scrolling via screen is faster and bezel turns only go 1 way can't scroll up and down with it so you end up touching screen anyways.
I would recommend this to a friend!
