Traded in watch 4 on Samsung trade in for watch 8. The 8 is night and day from the 4. Longer battery life, more storage, better tile set up and so comfortable to wear. Highly recommend.

My review
on February 22, 2026
Posted by: Mason
I love the Galaxy watch a lot I use it everyday but I find it challenging because the battery drains so quickly I have tried everything to do the durability is okay I dropped my watch accidentally on my concrete ramp in the lift to decent little dents in the titanium the watch band around the Buckle is ripped so it makes it challenging to put on and the watch bands are just so expensive the ergonomics are pretty good I just don't like how I don't get notifications like I should the interface is okay I just really feel like it's pointless to have the screen raised like it is because I crack my screen protector every time I put it on it doesn't even last a week because of the race screen

Watch is nice, but vibration for notifications is pretty non existent. 99% of my notifications are missed because i cannot feel the vibration. Thiis was the main purpose for purchasing the lte version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great upgrade
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: walkableworm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came from a previous generation of Galaxy watch and what was a significant upgrade for me was how slim it feels now. Feels much easier to wear on all occasions, however in the future I would love a magnetic clasp option.

The Wristband
on July 31, 2025
Posted by: Lovesamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The wristband that is interchangeable wears out after a period of time that isn't long lasting. Also charging the watch does not last all day long especially if it is linked with notifications, emails, text messages and any other messages
