[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having the ability to you the Genimi and Bixby AI features without my phone has been an complete experience. The Antioxidant Index, Running Coach, Bedtime Guidance, and Vascular Load measurement. Works hand in hand to provide the information I need to stay healthy. I highly recommend this watch if your serious about your health. Kudos to Samsung for a marvelous watch!

Perfect fit!
on August 19, 2025
Posted by: Iceberg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the original Galaxy watch the galaxy watch 4, galaxy watch five pro, and the 7. This is, by far the lightest and best fitting, and of all the other galaxy watches that i've had. One UI8 is great too. The tiles and the icons are all much easier to read. The apps are straight across in a row, not staggered like before. I still have my watch 7, and I alternate between the two but the 8 is much more comfortable! I've also started using Gemini for multiple timers at the same time, it makes cooking much easier.

THE CHARGE DOESNT LAST
on November 8, 2025
Posted by: MrsPlunkett
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn't stay connected to my phone. I can charge it to 100% and I can get probably 18 hours. If I charge it to 92% I get maybe 8. Wish I would've kept my 7 it was worth it this IS NOT

Very disappointed. Battery barely lasts a day. Outside of that I like it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great upgrade
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: walkableworm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came from a previous generation of Galaxy watch and what was a significant upgrade for me was how slim it feels now. Feels much easier to wear on all occasions, however in the future I would love a magnetic clasp option.

The Wristband
on July 31, 2025
Posted by: Lovesamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The wristband that is interchangeable wears out after a period of time that isn't long lasting. Also charging the watch does not last all day long especially if it is linked with notifications, emails, text messages and any other messages
