New and improved features
on July 29, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sleep, blood oxygen and other sensors are improved and more accurate. I like that I can access Galaxy AI at the push of a button or command. The new watch 8 classic is definitely the best looking of them all. I got it in white and it's so classy. Love the rotating bezel that my 6 classic had and the new customizable button is cool and useful as well. All of the tracking seems more accurate than the 6 classic I traded in. This watch is perfect. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase!

Great move up!

I received the Galaxy 8 Classic yesterday and so far I'm thrilled with it. I had a Watch 3 and during Prime days bought the 7 which was hugely discounted. Well, then the 8 is released and being one who 'needs' the latest, decided to trade in the 7. I received a larger credit than I paid for the watch, so I couldn't pass it up. I love the size of the screen on this watch and it is definitely more comfortable. It's easier to maneuver around the screen as well. There was a comment about the watch band not fitting properly, but not in my case. It was super easy to put on and I have no issues with it whatsoever. Somebody else also mentioned the weight of this 8 classic, but, there is really nothing noticeable between the 3, the 7, or the 8. If you're due for an upgrade, definitely take a look at this one!

Watch8's Highlights are Dimmed by Its Weaknesses
on August 1, 2025
Posted by: Don In Denver
from Denver, CO
Expertise:Expert
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 offers a compelling upgrade with its enhanced features and sleek styling, which are definite highlights. However, these shining aspects are unfortunately dimmed by a couple of significant design and performance issues.
While the rich functionality is a clear win, a minor design oversight is the classic diver's bezel. Its fixed five-minute hashmarks and ten-minute numbers cannot be reoriented, rendering them useless if you choose to wear the watch on your right wrist.
More critically, the battery life estimates are significantly overoptimistic. In my two weeks of use, I've had to charge it at least twice every three days. Each charge takes about 90 minutes, meaning the watch is out of commission for a considerable period every 24-36 hours. To avoid missing activity tracking during these frequent charging sessions, having a companion Galaxy Ring or a second watch is highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!
