[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!

[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.

Battery life bad,not solid built.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was extremely happy to trade in my older Galaxy watch (which I liked) because I had wanted a larger face and a smaller band. I've barely explored all the features but am already very happy with my purchase.

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
