[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've worn Fitbits for 10 years and decided to switch to the Samsung 8. I'm still learning how to use the various features, but so far I like it! I do wish the battery life was longer. I'm used to the 4+ days on the Fitbit, so I've run out of battery a few times.
Battery life is poor . It often does not hold a charge 24 hours.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like it

The squircle design looks better in person. The watch band was tricky to put on. There was a moment where I thought it was in but fell off. I had to apply a bit of strength and then I heard a loud click noise each time the bands went in. After that, the watch is very secure. I have a white hybrid band. Very nice but slightly uncomfortable. May have to get used to it. Took about 3 days for the battery to learn my usage patterns. Charges very fast with an adapter. I can get to 100 percent within an hour or so and the battery lasts all day. The watch faces are very appealing, hard to pick a favorite. 40mm feels big enough for my wrist, enough room for me to type and navigate the screen. I get why they added the square exterior, bumping the watch against things was scary but the screen was spared from the impact. I recommend getting a case and protector for it just in case. The 50 dollar pre order promo was applied to my order as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1. Fast 2. Cool design 3. Light The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is a triumph of design, functionality, and innovation. It caters to users who demand more from their wearable—whether that’s advanced health tracking, AI-powered coaching, or a premium aesthetic. While the price tag and strap limitations may deter some, the overall experience justifies the investment.
For Android users—especially those within Samsung’s ecosystem—the Watch 8 Classic is arguably the best smartwatch available in 2025. It’s not just a tool; it’s a companion that supports your health, enhances your productivity, and complements your style.

I love this watch! (LTE)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot have my phone in front of me while working, this has become quite frustrating because I was missing important calls and texts. Now with the new smart watch, I can leave my phone in my purse and still get calls and texts. The battery life is really good (I have always on display turned off). I love the customizable background too. The Galaxy AI and heath features are really smooth. Very happy!
