Battery Life
on August 24, 2025
Posted by: Samsungsupporter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery doesn't last but a day in a half. I have to charge it daily. Whereas for the 7, I charged it every 3 days.
I do like some of the new features. AI, the upgraded sleep detection i think that is all it has.

Definitely better than my watch 6 LTE. My only issue is the battery life still just lasts 1whole day, it would be nice to have longer battery life. The sports strap suits me better than the athleisure strap.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my watch 8!
on August 24, 2025
Posted by: GunnarsGma
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell in love with Samsung watches years ago when I purchased a watch 4. I was new to Samsung in general. I was sure that was the best watch ever- until I purchased the 8. It is big, bright, and loaded with features I use everyday. I am not a runner- I don't go to the gym, however I walk a ton at work and because my watch will detect walking, and shows calories burned, I can get a baseline of where I am at health wise. Even my doctor gave my watch 8 a thumbs up.

Good addition
on August 8, 2025
Posted by: Kay813
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new galaxy watch 8 is good. The notification and health aspects are on point. The only downside is the new watch band connection and battery life could be slightly better. Also can't wait until they decide to make blood pressure taking a feature.

I especially noted the battery recharge is limited to 90%, in an effort to extend battery life. It seems to be working fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The watch does everything I want but has a couple of annoyances.
I moved from a Galaxy Watch 5 mainly for the new sensors.
The biggest issue for me is the almost pitiful notification volume.... It's too quiet even when maxed out, and there's no option to use imported .wav, .mp3 or .ogg files for custom notification sounds.
Issue 2 for me is I'm not a big fan of the new OneUI 8 tiles..
