[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery doesn't last but a day in a half. I have to charge it daily. Whereas for the 7, I charged it every 3 days.
I do like some of the new features. AI, the upgraded sleep detection i think that is all it has.

I have previously owned other Samsung smartwatches, and I have found this model to be both stylish and feature-rich. It offers enhanced battery life, superior control over the health data app, and a more slender body with quicker button response. The classic 8 model is an excellent upgrade option for integrating with your new Samsung devices.
LOVE the larger easier to read face. LOVE the lightness of the watch and band. The band is very comfortable. Battery life is good. Don't love that there's no bezel or button to return to watch face. Turning the electronic face to return to watch face isn't very practical. I dislike having to combine the tiles to one watch screen. I very much dislike not being able to add my ring battery life to the watch and phone tile (the directions online don't match up).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too much charging
on September 9, 2025
Posted by: Luvmysamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the watch looks and features but would be nice if I didn't have to charge every night. Trying to get sleep reading and sometimes I fall asleep waiting for it to charge defeating the purpose for buying the watch

Great health tracker
on September 28, 2025
Posted by: Loutech
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is unmatched as a health tracker. The AI helps you make healthy decisions based on all the biosensors. I honestly can't see myself ever not owning after trying this watch.
