The 44mm Silver Galaxy Watch8 (Wi-Fi/BT) is sweet, the display is top-notch, it uses AI to track your sleep and fitness, and it keeps a close eye on your heart rate, even checking your antioxidant levels! Plus, it works with Google Gemini.
Very disappointed especially with the belt it so uncomfortable I hate design of the belt.. it's causing me to remove certain time fue to discomfort.. btw I like the dual design and the battery features and also the light wieght...

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is an attractive, thinner, and more comfortable smartwatch featuring a "cushion" design with a prominent circular screen and a squircle-like case, a brighter 3,000-nit display, and improved fitness and health tracking including sleep coaching and an antioxidant sensor. While performance is smooth and the software is improved with Wear OS and Gemini integration, battery life remains average at about a day to a day and a half, and some minor software bugs were reported. It's a strong option, especially for those who prefer a more classic watch aesthetic, but users with thin wrists might find the new lug system or overall bulk to be a trade-off for increased comfort.
I bought this watch to help with my health & fitness. The features on this watch nailed it. Easy to navigate. Absolutely love the running coach feature! I leave my watch display always on when using the run coach, makes it easier to nail each level.
I upgraded from the watch4 to the watch7 and didn't see much of a different. However, when I upgraded to the watch8, it was completely different. It was sleek, the performance was great, and works well with my 25 Ultra.
