Great watch with longer battery per charge
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Lhaytz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my first galaxy watch active before switching to galaxy watch 7 that I traded for this Galaxy watch 8.
The reason for the trade is because my galaxy watch 7 last only from 6-8 hours considering it's brand new. With the watch 8, it last more than 12 hours which is enough for my daily use. I even use original and after market straps to my attire with this watch

The squircle design looks better in person. The watch band was tricky to put on. There was a moment where I thought it was in but fell off. I had to apply a bit of strength and then I heard a loud click noise each time the bands went in. After that, the watch is very secure. I have a white hybrid band. Very nice but slightly uncomfortable. May have to get used to it. Took about 3 days for the battery to learn my usage patterns. Charges very fast with an adapter. I can get to 100 percent within an hour or so and the battery lasts all day. The watch faces are very appealing, hard to pick a favorite. 40mm feels big enough for my wrist, enough room for me to type and navigate the screen. I get why they added the square exterior, bumping the watch against things was scary but the screen was spared from the impact. I recommend getting a case and protector for it just in case. The 50 dollar pre order promo was applied to my order as well.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is a triumph of design, functionality, and innovation. It caters to users who demand more from their wearable—whether that’s advanced health tracking, AI-powered coaching, or a premium aesthetic. While the price tag and strap limitations may deter some, the overall experience justifies the investment.

For Android users—especially those within Samsung’s ecosystem—the Watch 8 Classic is arguably the best smartwatch available in 2025. It’s not just a tool; it’s a companion that supports your health, enhances your productivity, and complements your style.

I love my watch and all the upgrades from previous watch. I only wish the battery would last a little longer but it's way better than what it was with my old watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I replaced my watch 6 with 8 for battery reason, this seems to have the same issue, despite turnign off several features which can potentially drain battery life, I still don see it holding up for na entire day. very disappointed. Also the dial size does nto look good. Just the old plain circle was good. veen a 40 m is still too big for majority of women.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The worst watch ever! I regret I traded my 6 for this 8. It turns on when you put it on the charger and by midday it's dead. I tried turning it off while on the charger but the off button greys out. My 6 would last for days. This will be my last one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A near perfect wearable

I really love my Galaxy 8 watch I've got it custom configured for a mix of health and sports monitoring activities. Communicates nicely with my Galaxy S24plus. Despite my loving this watch, I'm growing tired of having to charge the battery everyday and a half, you would think at this price, this class of Galaxy watches should last at least 3 to 5 days on a charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!
