I love the battery on this watch, my 5 did stay charged as long as my 8. I also like the clearer screen and the fact the band is so easy to change.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Howdy Anonymous,
Thank you for reaching out to share your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We value your candor as we continue to improve our product line based on our consumer feedback. If the 44mm case size of your Galaxy Watch8 feels more substantial on your wrist than you've intended, please take a moment to check out the 40mm case. Since the Galaxy Wach8 utilizes Wear OS, it only supports apps specifically developed for that platform. Compatibility limitations, apps not being optimized for smaller screens, storage limitations, or apps being hidden/uninstalled can also be what you're experiencing with some of your apps. If you would like to share additional feedback with us regarding your experience or if you would like any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to Samsung Support at your earliest convenience. Thank you for choosing Samsung!

So far the watch has been good. 2 things I dislike are the battery life and the fact if you do a treadmill you cannot edit the distance on the Samsung health app. Several things I like is that it tracks and measures sleep, O2, heart rate snf ECG
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello there MelB,
Thanks for sharing your detailed feedback with us regarding your experience using your Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your critiques provide valuable insights that will assist us with improving our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model offers a 325mAh battery while the 44mm model offers a 435mAh battery. Both options offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. Please take a moment to review, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. To resolve any inaccurate treadmill distance, you must calibrate your Galaxy Watch8 immediately after finishing your treadmill workout, before saving, or use the phone to track the workout. Just click the settings button to calibrate the distance. Manually starting the treadmill workout can ensure that your device captures the full duration. Please feel free to let us know if you would like any further assistance after reviewing the resources shared below by reaching out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a steadfast Samsung customer.

Great features

I really enjoy this watch. The capabilities are great, the battery life has been solid, and I love the variety of fun watch faces you can customize. I’m also really enjoying the running training feature—it’s been a great motivator while I’m building my endurance. The sleep analytics are another feature I’ve found very helpful and interesting to track.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wristband caused some skin irritation for me. I ended up developing a rash and had to order a fabric replacement band. I previously had an older Samsung watch and never experienced an allergic reaction with that one.
Aside from the band issue, the watch itself has been excellent and I’m very happy with it.

I love my new Galaxy watch! It is beautiful and very useful. I like how it analyzes my sleep, helps me keep active and keeps me notified when my phone is not at my reach.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been a galaxy watch users since Active 2, now the watch 8 is on another level when it comes to the health options. AGE and Antioxidants index are nice additions.
