[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell in love with Samsung watches years ago when I purchased a watch 4. I was new to Samsung in general. I was sure that was the best watch ever- until I purchased the 8. It is big, bright, and loaded with features I use everyday. I am not a runner- I don't go to the gym, however I walk a ton at work and because my watch will detect walking, and shows calories burned, I can get a baseline of where I am at health wise. Even my doctor gave my watch 8 a thumbs up.
The watch 8 40mm is a nice size for smaller wrists. All the health features are superior to past watches. The heart monitor and sleep tracking are exceptionally accurate and help you stay healthy. The new antioxidant and vascular load are great additions
Low value proposition. I walked on the treadmill for 52 minutes and it literally registered 49 minutes on the watch. I don't know how you can miss on that. I also have a blood pressure monitor that measures pulse and the watch is off by about 25 to 30% each time. The only upside that I find with this watch is that confirmed my long time suspicion that these watches are junk
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback as it allows us to improve the design and functionality of our product line while we remain committed to constant innovation. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Inaccurate step counting on your Galaxy Watch8 during treadmill workouts is usually caused by a lack of arm movement or a loose watch strap due to poor fit.

However, your device is packed with Galaxy AI features which you may just fall in love with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new galaxy watch 8 is good. The notification and health aspects are on point. The only downside is the new watch band connection and battery life could be slightly better. Also can't wait until they decide to make blood pressure taking a feature.
