[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this watch!! It is very user friendly and love that it tracks my steps.
I like everything about it except the band I chose. I chose the hybrid band, one size. I preferred the hybrid band i had on my galaxy 6 watch. This new hybrid band has so much extra band it almost touches the watch
Love this watch so much does everything I need it too
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this watch has some new features including the galaxy AI and measures antioxidant levels. The battery does die a little faster than my last. I don't have all the battery savings options on it though. All in all it's a good watch. Not sure if I love the new shape. I always got compliments on my round watch before. We will see how this one wears.

What a step up
on August 15, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the new Galaxy Warch 8 and I'm very impressed! I originally had a galaxy watch 5 that I bought years ago and new that I needed an upgrade. So, I decided to take the leap from 5 to 8 and I'm so glad I did. This watch 8 has awesome features. My favorite being access to Galaxy AI. This feature makes life on the go so much simpler right from my wrist! Weather I'm in the middle of an intense workout and need to change the song I'm listening to or if I'm driving and need to place a phone call,Galaxy AI has got me covered. This feature p, I find, is easy to use. I also love the new health features that I didn't have available on my watch 5 like the vas alarm load lab that checks the amount of stress my vascular system is under so that I know what changes I need to make ea h day to stay healthy. I Lso love that I can check my antioxidants too. This t.ells me when I need more fruits and veggies in my life to support healthy antioxidants to fight those nasty free radicals I absorb every day. But, I wouldn't be being honest with myself if I didn't say how much more usually appealing the watch 8 is . The larger watch face is so much easier to see, read and be able to touch more accurately. The display quality is absolutely beautiful. The graphics are top notch. Everything looks amazing! I find this watch more enjoyable and useful to use and am looking forward to discovering what else it can do as I spend more time with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical when I selected this watch. I wasn't expecting the ease of use. From texting to using Samsung pay! I really enjoy this watch. The device enhances the conveniences for sure.
