I love the watch & all of its capabilities, however, I would really like a smaller wrist band option. I have small wrists & I don't like tucking half the band through the loop. That is my only complaint.

Won't leave you disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got my new Galaxy watch 8 and wow, I'm seriously impressed! 🤩 The battery life is a game-changer, lasting way longer than I expected. Plus, tracking my workouts has never been easier or more accurate. I love seeing all my progress right there on my wrist! It's become such a helpful companion for my daily routine, from checking notifications to even paying for my coffee. Highly recommend if you're looking for a smartwatch that really delivers! #GalaxyWatch8 #SmartwatchLife #TechReview #MustHave

My first smart watch
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Sandy Beach
from Northern California
Expertise:Beginner
Today is my 3rd day with my new watch. I got the 40mm in silver with the small/medium sport strap in mint. The face is plenty large for my wrist, strap is roomy enough.
Cons: strap was very difficult to clip on!
Battery dies quickly!
I'd really like more watch faces that are more feminine, most seem very masculine. I'd love to
be able to use my phone screen saver for my clock face.
Pros: I'm loving the health monitoring, even an ekg and sleep apnea detector. I love the sleep monitor.
Nice to be able to check my notifications from my watch.
Fairly comfortable to wear. I haven't worn a watch steady so it's new.
Cons: strap was very difficult to clip on!

Not much new

Disappointing. Not much of an upgrade compared to my Galaxy Watch 4. Seems to be a pattern with Samsung products. Already in the process of returning. However, it is much smoother and responsive, but the battery life is subpar. I wouldn't recommend.

Not worth the upgrade.
on August 15, 2025
Posted by: Saddened
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Though the Galaxy AI is pretty cool. This watch just does not fill the void left from leaving my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. I have only a few issues with the Galaxy Watch 8 and they all have to do with design. For one this screen is so small. Second this Watch band is the worst thing I have ever worn. It is too small and we'll does not allow you to use the official Samsung triple charger. You know the one with the spot for your phone, Galaxy buds, and watch. Yeah well the Watch due to the poorly designed band will not lay flat enough to make contact enough to charge. I really feel like I have taken a step backwards.

Greetings Saddened,
Thank you for taking the opportunity to reach out to share your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We appreciate your feedback as we strive to improve the design and functionality of our product line. Samsung offers a 12-month warranty on your device for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The Galaxy Watch8 offers a more powerful W1000 chip than your Galaxy Watch6 Classic.

There are two types of chargers you can use with your Samsung smart watch: a flat charging dock or a charging dock with pins. The type you need depends on which model watch you have, and the correct charger will come with your watch. The flat charging dock included in the box is compatible with the Galaxy Watch8 Series. Feel free to check out the compatible bands for your device if you would like to create a Bespoke look. If you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Samsung Support.
