From Watch 6 to 8 Light, Fresh, and Worth It!

Loving it so far! It actually feels like a real upgrade something we haven’t seen in phones or watches for quite a while. The design feels lighter on the wrist, more refined, and the improvements are noticeable day to day. It’s not just a spec bump; it genuinely feels fresh.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better Battery - Poor Touch Sensitivity
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: JMichael
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the wifi version, so using Gemini AI does not seem to be available. I tried. Battery life if better than the previous generation. Samsung offers great deals to trade in an old watch. I trade every year. Dig deep in the settings for some cool features and custom button functions. Touch sensitivity on the key pad is lacking. It will not pick up my slightly calloused finger. I have to use my ring finger instead. Great, lightweight watch for sleep monitoring. Old watch chargers no longer work with the new watch. Yes, I'd buy it again.

I started with the OG Galaxy Gear and have had several since then . My favorite all time will always be the Gear S1 . That being said it was far from their best performing model .
When this first came out I was going to skip it because my Ultra and GW6 are doing great . I got such a great deal I decided to try it out and I'm so glad I did .
It feels like the Active 2 lightweight but the flat side of the Ultra design helps it feel smaller when my hand is bent way back. With a round offering it the watch can punch my skin .
The sensors being almost flush is a very refreshing change from my last purchases.
The screen is supposed to be the same but honestly it seems sharper and more crisp , especially the black . It's also snappier than the 7 and Ultra that I own . Battery life is better than my 7 but , of course , not as good as the Ultra .
Wear 6 seems clunky and unpolished on the Ultra but seems made just for the 8.
To anyone deciding whether or not to go 7 or 8 , the 8 blows away my GW7 and that's not taking anything away from the GW7
