Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for taking the time to review your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your candor as we strive to provide the best products with superior functionality on the market to our customers. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also have Samsung Care+ as an option which can be added to an eligible device. It's similar to extended warranty and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It may cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model comes with a 325mAh battery, and the 44mm model has a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. Please check out, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. Let us know if you would like any further assistance afterward by reaching out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a faithful Samsung customer.

I was skeptical about the "squircle" design of this watch from online video and pictures, but was immediately impressed when I received it and saw it in person. This watch has been fantastic and suits my attire from the boardroom to the gym. All the tech is exactly what you would expect from Samsung (excellence).
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love that the 8 is thinner than my 7. It makes it much easier to sleep with.

Blood oxygen readings were usually off by 5-8 points compared to ring pulse oximeter, snd sometimes 15-20. Watch 7 is much better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
