Love the watch its so much more efficient than the 7 its was hard at first with the changes to the watch where my faceplates and watch bands didn't fit that I used for the 6 and the 7 but I now love the changes. I'm alergic to nickel and had to have faceplate that wrapped around so the back wasn't touching my skin the new design has no broke me out so its either nickle free or the design is so much better the metal doesn't touch my skin.
This is my 3rd Samsung watch. I loved them all, but the sleek redesigned look of this one had me at first glance. The functionality continues to improve as well, very intuitive!
Heart rate, sleep and stress data unreliable and unpredictable. Settings can change at random
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Ive been using the Samsung smartwatch now since version 4. I depend on the alarms for medication and love the step counting & sleep monitoring functions. This is a nice upgrade. The only issue is charging, the new band has a bit of a curve in it so it doesn't sit flat on the multi charging device so i have to use the watch charger. Love the look and feel. Seems to have a better charge life than some older versions. I can go a full 24 hours on one charge.
nice looking but not the best band or speaker phone
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best purchase I've done online in the last few months. I wanted to upgrade my watch from a watch 4. The watch 8 was easy to get with a trade in from old device. Will highly suggest again
