Expertise:Intermediate

The battery life is not long. I constantly have to charge it. The exercise detection is not automatic. Many other features I have to do the changes on the phone instead of the watch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, February 9, 2026
Howdy Gigi,
Thanks for reaching out to share your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. We realize that transitioning to new devices can come with a bit of a learning curve. This is one of the main driving forces behind why we have a plethora of resources in place to make the transition as seamless as possible. We currently offer informative videos on our YouTube channel that highlight your device and its features, and we offer easy access to device manuals, software updates, troubleshooting guides, and interactive simulators on our website. For your convenience, I have linked a few of these resources below for your review. The Galaxy Watch8 40mm model offers a 325mAh battery while the 44mm model offers a 435mAh battery. Both options can offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode. If you're experiencing less than expected battery life, please take a moment to review, "Reduced battery life on your Samsung smart watch" to see what factors, if any, may be impacting the life of your device. When you do an impromptu workout, you may forget to activate an exercise tracker on your smart watch or fitness band. To fix this, just turn on automatic workout detection. It will automatically start recording your exercise data when you start working out. Also check out, "Use automatic workout detection on your Samsung smart watch" to turn on/off your automatic workout detection feature on your device. Feel free to contact Samsung Support afterward if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer.

This watches battery drained in under 3 hours with most of the features turned off. It was the 40 mm size. Very disappointed, and I returned it within a week.

Worse than the Pixel Watch; Trade-in is a Scam
on December 26, 2025
Posted by: Horasus
from Florida
Expertise:Expert
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace my Pixel Watch, but it has been a total disappointment.
The Trade-In: The valuation is misleading. After sending in my watch, the final credits were so low that I practically gave my old device away for free.
Performance: The interface is incredibly buggy compared to the smooth experience of the Pixel Watch. The UI feels unfinished and clunky.
Save your money and your old tech. This was a huge mistake.

Love my watch, but the battery life is terrible! Doesn't last more than 24 hours! Also, they advertise you can take BP with it but apparently it is not available is the US. Stop advertising that as a feature if not available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this Watch
on August 11, 2025
Posted by: F15mechanic
[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!

Battery life bad,not solid built.
on September 28, 2025
Posted by: Misssamsunggagetbabe
from USA
Expertise:Expert
Horrible battery life, never knew Samsung's watches could get even worse battery life when upgrading to a newer watch. Went from the classic 6. I'll tell you what, at least watch 6 had battery longer than this new 8. I like the 8 watch, but even if you tinker and set it by restricting certain settings for sleep and auto detection when you exercise, you'll barely get 2 days of battery life. So basically buying the 8 to get less than 1 day of battery life you will have to shut off everything that makes it a smart watch. History I've owned all four of the classic watches from 1, 3, 6, and now 8 can tell you that even using it for less than 3 weeks it also feels less sturdy, so in general until
Samsung can somehow make battery life better I'll probably go back to my 6 and not upgrading again until these become more sturdy too, not just cheap plastic. The 6 was solidly built.

I wish I had more time to explore all the things this little piece of technology is capable of! I could easily leave my phone at home and still get most of the the things my phone does.
I would recommend this to a friend!
