[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the design, and it’s very lightweight. Compared to previous models, it’s flatter, which makes it more comfortable and better to wear.

The band breaks me out
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: BlackWidow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a Galaxy Watch 4 to the Galaxy Watch 8. I do like the new things that you can do with it, and I feel like it's just more updated. It doesn't slow down as much as my old one did. However, the only thing that I don't like is that the band on the watch irritates my skin and gives me rashes.
