I use this watch to help keep up with my heath things, answer phone and texting.
Still learning some of the features. Remote photo from watch from phone is awesome.

A Worthy Upgrade for Android Users
on August 2, 2025
Posted by: LovemyUpgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a solid evolution of the company's smartwatch line. It refines what worked in previous models and adds some notable new features.
The most immediate change is the improved hardware. The display is brighter and more vibrant, making it easy to see even in direct sunlight. Both the standard and Classic versions are comfortable to wear, and the return of the physical rotating bezel on the Classic model is a welcome feature that offers a satisfying way to navigate the interface.
Performance is excellent. The new processor makes the watch feel fast and responsive. Apps load quickly and the overall user experience is smooth. The integration of Galaxy AI and Google Gemini is a useful addition for getting quick information or completing tasks on the go.
For health and fitness, the Watch 8 introduces new tracking metrics like antioxidant levels and vascular load. The existing sensors for heart rate, sleep, and blood oxygen are still present and provide detailed data. The personalized running coach is also a helpful tool for those looking to improve their training.
Battery life is a common concern for smartwatches, and the Galaxy Watch 8 shows some improvement. While not a multi-day device for heavy users, it can typically last a full day and a half.
The Galaxy Watch 8 is a strong contender in the smartwatch market. It offers a premium design, excellent performance, and a comprehensive suite of features. For Android users,

Style + Function = Classic
on August 5, 2025
Posted by: Catsrule
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this watch daily for weather alerts in real-time, a timer for my work breaks and lunches, step counts, and of course, time. It's sleek and stylish. If I want a change, I just change the band.

So far great watch great features
on August 10, 2025
Posted by: Rose4uKY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from the watch 7 to the 8. So far the watch 8 is verb a great watch. Only been a couple weeks but features are great and the new one UI 8 is nice. I hag the beta on my 7 but didn't fully explore it. Haven't tried all the features yet.
I do love the brightness and the new squircle design is nice. Wasn't sure if like it at first but I do once I saw it on person and on my wrist. Watch feels lighter on my wrist and fits more comfortable.
New lug but band things I hated to have to give up all my cute bands I had from my 7 but after practicing it is easier to put on than the pin style. I do love the new AI Gemeni on the watch though. One of my favorite things specially while I'm at work I don't have to pull out my phone and I can just ask Gemini or tell it to set my alarm when I go on my breaks.
I got a great deal on this for trading in the seven so that's why I did it. And I like to have the latest but I love this a lot better than the 7 in looks and it's fast and again I love the brightness.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the clarity when I answer my calls. I think the pinch and shake commands are awesome. And of course my favorite thing about the watch is the health features.

The best watch to date
on August 10, 2025
Posted by: SylverWolf
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The amount of storage and RAM is insane. The sleep monitoring, vascular load monitoring, the versatility of how many interactive apps accessible while using the watch all go above and beyond my wildest expectations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my new Galaxy 8 watch with Galaxy AI that I have not used yet. I love the smaller watch. Though I still wish for a smaller watch for small wrists.

Loving my new watch
on August 12, 2025
Posted by: Cwinkler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pre-ordered my 8 to supplement my 4, since I seem to have good luck with pre-ordered devices. My 8 has been working well and battery lasting for a day between charges. Like and am using the battery saving charge feature. The display and buttons seem larger than my 4. Like the new health features although unsure about some of the recommendations. Like the thinner profile and lighter weight. Have made some use of Gemini AI (Galaxy AI) and will more as time goes by. Good source for information when my phone isn't handy. Overall very happy with my purchase.
