The watch is not as accurate as I was hoping. I upgraded from the Galaxy ring but I think the ring was actually more accurate. I do like that I can see text messages and phone calls on the watch. The battery life is very short. No joke. I haven't been able to get a whole 24 hours yet. I have had the watch for about a month.

Traded my Galaxy 7 for the Galaxy 8 and got a nice trade in value to make it worthwhile. The Galaxy 8 face is a bit bigger but still fits on my wrist well enough. Most of the same features with some additional Samsung Health options you couldn't get on the G7. Battery life is a little longer but nothing outstanding. Probably haven't set it up to use all its features. Still it was an upgrade worth paying for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall I like the looks and the functionality of this watch. I am glad I went withe the smaller size. The health features are ok and seem to give reasonable results to get ballpark info. Battery life is short, and playing with the watch faces and apps drain it quicker.This was expected, but at this point requires a daily charge.

The watch is good. Haven't found a lot to use it for yet but starting to figure it out. Biggest complaint is the watch band. I have a big wrist and it's too short. I can buckle it but just barely. Crazy that large was not available in any of the styles.

I absolutely love my Galaxy Watch! Everything works great and functions exactly as it should. The features are amazing, and I really appreciate how simple and user-friendly it is. It’s also super lightweight... I barely even feel it on my wrist throughout the day.
I use it daily and genuinely enjoy all the features it offers. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is because it doesn’t properly track steps when I’m pushing a stroller. As a mom who goes on daily walks, that’s a big downside for me. I’ve noticed I have to put the watch in my pocket or even in my shoe for it to register my steps, which is definitely inconvenient.
Other than that, I’m very happy with it and would still recommend it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have owned this watch for several watches and really like it. The battery holds well as long as you doing use the AOD.

The new band is easy to attach but won't lay flat for charging. The outer edge makes the watch look clunky compared to prior models. Functionality is great. I like the new tiles format and that the watch face options are the same.
