Watch works well, Ive taken several calls on it with my phone not present. Volume isnt bad, could be a bit louder, but its clear and good quality. The band is comfortable, the various watch faces are nice. I went with a digital one as the time was easier for me to see. It scrolls smooth and the touch sensativity isn't bad tho I have a glass protector on it. My only issue so far is the annoying "watch disconnected from phone" notification. Im hoping I corrected this, but not sure. The app on the watch is nice and easy to use.
Get watch last me all day. Really helps keep me focused with my health.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got the watch yesterday and yes the screen is smaller but overall the watch is fast and feels of great quality and the ai features are great and personally the design is good if you have a 6 classic stay with it but if you don't and want a classic go for the 8 classic

Enjoy Both

I almost always have a watch on. I like the look of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic a bit more than the 6 Classic. I now own and use both. My watch 6 is all blacked out where my watch 8 has a very different look with the stainless steel. It’s nice having different watch looks. Enjoy both.

Battery life is awful

I’ve been a loyal Samsung user for years, and this is the first negative review I’ve ever written for one of their products. I’ve had the Watch 8 Classic for over two weeks now, and I regret trading in my Watch 4 Classic, which I used daily for over three years. Even after all that time and usage, the Watch 4 still had noticeably better battery life than this brand-new Watch 8 Classic. This one barely lasts 24 hours on a full charge, and if you use it for sleep tracking, it drains from 100% to around 20% overnight. This is unacceptable for a flagship smrtwatch in 2025.Not recommended. And to Samsung Support: please don’t reply with “troubleshooting,” software updates, or reset suggestions ,I wasn’t born yesterday.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
