Nice But Not Great

My previous watch was a Samsung 3, which had a decreased battery life. The Watch 8 has a few more features, if you can find them. The battery life was worse than the 3 but after turning on Battery Save mode, it became much better. Which I did not need to do with the Watch 3. Still learning the watch features. I need to remove some apps since I use just a few. I usually just use the phone and text.

This product has great easy to use features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my watch! I wore the first green for years and years until my wife got me the new one for Christmas and I love it even more! It's so easy to use and does so much helpful stuff. Being able to use the AI feature has been a big help when I need to be have free. I absolutely love my watch. It's so sleek and professional as well as ergonomical. Amazing product that I always recommend to my friends!
Comfortable to wear, lighter than previous versions. The installed apps open quickly, are easy to use, and work reliably. The display is very nice and doesn’t scratch easily. The strap is easy to replace. The battery lasts about 20–24 hours, but it’s worth noting that I move a lot — around 8–10–12 km a day, including running and walking — so it’s in constant, active use.
I upgraded from a Galaxy watch7 to this Galaxy watch8, and although there aren't tons of differences, I'm glad I did it. With the Samsung trade in program it was super affordable. I actually like the new squoval face. And the Samsung Health features are helpful. I was worried the blue band might be too bright, but it is a beautiful shade of soft royal blue.
The health and exercise monitor is perfect to start, mantain and track your progress. Is a lot lighter than the Ultra version. Is posible to set up with ATT but the process is extremely difficult if you dont buy from them.
Do not buy this crap watch 8. Battery life is terrible
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
