[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery will only last about 7 or 8 hours. I work a 10 hour shift so I can't rely on this watch. Minimal usage, checking time occasionally. My old watch 5 lasted 2 days easily using the watch in the exact same way. I seriously regret trading it in.

Sleek and lite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my new Galaxy 8 smartwatch and I love it so far. I have the Galaxy 5 and I love it. The new 8 is sleek and much lighter than my 5. I know I'm going to enjoy my new 8 as much as I love my 5. I'm a loyal Samsung customer. I've never owned any other products. Samsung forever!!

Stylish Design and Smart Galaxy AI Features
on December 5, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch8 has been an excellent upgrade for me. One of the features I appreciate most is the ability to apply Do Not Disturb for a set period on the watch alone. It gives me flexibility without affecting my phone settings, which is especially helpful during work or rest periods.
Galaxy AI adds an extra layer of intelligence to the watch. It helps optimize notifications, assists with health insights, and makes daily tasks smoother and more intuitive.
I also like the overall design. I have always preferred a watch shape that is not fully round, and the Galaxy Watch8 achieves a modern, clean look that stands out. It looks great on my hand and feels very comfortable to wear throughout the day.
The variety of watch faces is another highlight. I enjoy customizing the look to match my style or activity, and the options feel fresh and dynamic.
Overall, the Galaxy Watch8 offers a smart blend of design, comfort, and Galaxy AI features. I am very happy with this smartwatch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first smartwatch and I wanted one compatible with my galaxy phone. It's nice to look at and functions like a mini phone. It was easy to set up and link with my phone. It has a good battery life and I love that I can adjust the settings via my phone. So far so good!!

simple and comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new smartwatch is seriously comfy, like it's barely even there. I've been wearing it all day, and it just molds to my wrist so perfectly. Plus, the Galaxy Al features are surprisingly useful and integrate so smoothly into my daily routine without feeling intrusive. It a total nessary for anyone who values both comfort and smart functionality. Honestly, I forget I'm even wearing it most of the time!
A fully charged watch is getting discharged with in 20 hour with half features selected, so to use full functionality of watch have to charge twice a day. . the watch has to measure health 24X 7 but it is haning fpr 2 hours on charging board
