                        Received on July 23 as promised and really happy to have my 7 year old Galaxy watch 42mm upgraded. Lots of new features and it did take me a lot of time to try out everything. Honestly, it is quite challenging to master all the new tricks and features without referring to the manual. Health features are great and I am being motivated to exercise, eat and sleep at a nice balance. The only thing I missed was the Daily Briefing from my old watch and I might not have this again on my new Watch8 with my S22 Ultra Samsung phone. I was being told by Samsung Support that the Daily Briefing (Now Bar content) on Watch8 only works with S25 and the newer models. BTW, blood pressure measurements between Watch8 and the cuffed BP monitor (Omron) for the last 3 days fluctuate a bit even with a daily calibration.

                        As others have said, the battery life is an issue. Less than 2 days. I knew that going in, but purchased anyways because of the extra features other watches don't have. What I am really annoyed about is that fact that I bought this watch under some false pretenses. In doing my research, I saw that I could download the Samsung watch app on my android phone to access all the features. Well, as it turns out, I can not use the specific features I bought this watch for as they are not compatible with my phone (EKG and bp). So I spent more money on a watch with a shorter battery life and unusable apps. This is very frustrating and I thought I had researched my purchase fully. This should be made clear in the information available. This issue will definitely influence any future purchasing choices I make.

                        2 months since purchased from cosco.com. The watch is fluid and responsive. I have the 44mm one. I'm transitioning from a Chinese k52 watch ive had for 3 years. Upgraded: armor case, screen gorilla glass, titanium belt. The great about this $400 purchase: Size Screen resolution and visibility in day light The horrible and the disappointment: Battery 🔋 big disappointment only last 24hr. The software on the phone is absolutely horrible. Functions available based on the country you reside. The original wrist belt is garbage🗑 Overall cost vs value. Is not in this purchase.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using mobile phones for as long as they were available. I bought my first Samsung phone just over a year ago and after getting used to the different platform, I plan to stay with Samsung. I bought the Samsung Tablet and recently went all in and committed by buying the Galaxy Watch and Samsung Pro4 Ear Buds. I love the watch because of its look and feel when I wear it. It looks and feels like a real watch that does amazing things! I personally love the fact that I can split my face to two different time zones. It's not just the products that are great; their online service is impeccable. Highly recommend Samsung for all products.

                        The watch strap is such a shame - I have had the watch all of one week and the strap is already worn and discoloured... I have done perhaps 6 hours of exercise in that time and worn it for sleep tracking. How can you market a watch the be good for sleep tracking and fitness, but sell it with a band that discolours after 1 week? Very disappointing. The watch itself is great to use - nothing special. Coming from the Watch 4, there is not exceptionally noticeable upgrade but it is smooth to use and the screen is clear. Nice a light also. Has a couple of laggy moments hopefully updates will iron this out. Battery life isnt great but its liveable.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as an upgrade for my wife who was on a Galaxy watch 6. She used the Galaxy Watch 6 daily, and the only problem with it was that the fitness tracking seemed to not be as accurate. As the the Galaxy watch 8 has a few improvements here, it seemed like the right move and it does seem to be more accurate. The Galaxy Watch 8 has been both exciting and, in some areas, surprising. While the jump isn't revolutionary, there are enough meaningful improvements to justify the upgrade. It seems faster, better at tracking and the battery also lasts longer. My wife also liked the style this has over previous generations with the change in shape.

                        Thank you for your feedback, Mark, and we're pleased to see that your wife considers the Galaxy Watch8 to already be an improvement to her Watch6. The Watch8 has been improved in every department, making it not only more responsive but more accurate. We've added even more ways to track your health and wellness throughout the day or night, and the display is even easier to read. You'll also get noticeably improved levels of performance from the battery, so that it's with you whenever you need it! ^DB at Samsung Support

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell in love with my boyfriend Samsung S24 in 2024. Since then, we had two babies together. Earbuds 3 Pro and now Watch 8 40mm Bluetooth + LTE. My baby didn't disappoint me, instead made me proud. I am still figuring out all the features. But very happy so far. Beautiful sexy design, looks sleek even on my thin arm, specifically love the two finger pinch dismissal of notifications, side button customisation, app notification settings. I haven't used the health tracking yet. I would have loved to be able to manually lock the watch with the wrist detection turned on. But now I need to turn it off to be able to lock it manually.

                        This is the first smart watch I have ever bought. In fact this is the first watch I've had for over 15 years other than a Polar fitness band. I bought it when I upgraded my phone as part of the contract as a way to monitor my fitness and I was pleasantly surprised at how well integrated it is with the phone and Clouse services. The only gripe I have is that the battery only lasts a day, which I can understand considering what it does, but it is really annoying having grown up with watches where the battery lasts for weeks or months. I suppose this will get better over time. But lovely watch, great design, amazing customisability.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Bluetooth 40mm on the a few weeks ago and have worn it every day since. It’s slim, lightweight, and very comfortable. The bright display is clear both indoors and outdoors, making it easy to check the time, fitness stats, or notifications at a glance. I mostly use it for step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and sleep analysis. Workout modes are easy to start and provide helpful feedback. Notifications, music control, and quick timers make daily tasks easier, and the Bluetooth connection has been smooth. Battery life lasts about two days, and charges quickly, so it’s always ready when I need it. Highly recommend !

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a Samsung galaxy watch 4 previously. Can't run some Samsung apps properly that I used to run on previous watch due to permissions being so locked down. New features like vascular load and Age's index not really helpful. Don't know what results should look like for some one my age. Using a Vaseline than comparing against a baseline can let you know if improving or getting worse, but doesn't tell me how I compare to my age group. I don't feel like it's a massive leap forward. Much the same. Not worth the upgrade (so far). Temperature should be able to be measured any time. Not just while I'm sleeping. Needs work

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this watch a couple days ago and I am so impressed. Upgrading from an ageing Watch4, this new watch is so comfortable to wear, the cushion design is surprisingly nice and it's growing on me. The only downside tho is that this watch does get get damaged pretty easily, like I already have a range of small cosmetic marks. Also, I am fairly certain that my watch actually came with some as well, which is a bummer, so maybe quality control is not the best. That being said, I have come to embrace the marks as I believe they make it truly mine, and the rest of the watch is just top tier. It's so smooth, the battery is so legendary, and overall it's great for all aspects of my life.

                        Galaxy Watch8 Watch is excelent quality, as you would expect from Samsung. Ease of buying (on Samsung site), very easy. Discription of item on the site is, again, excelent, apart from one very important thing.... No where that I could see does it mention the fact that the wireless charger cable only conects through usb-c, which means I now have to buy a new charger that will accept usb-c cables! Either that or charge using my phone! Very poor description/comunication on the site. Delivery, perfect. You have the option of selecting a date for delivery, the delivery company keep you up to date via email, couldn't ask for better service. I would give 5 stars apart from the problem with the charging cable

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 8 has a premium design and feels comfortable to wear. The display is bright and smooth. Fitness tracking is quite accurate, and connectivity with the phone is good. Battery lasts about a day but could be better. Overall, it’s a good watch for daily use. Rating: 4/5

                        I got this in the mail two weeks ago, and I've found it to be much more useful than I thought it'd be. It hooked up with Google maps for directions, kept track of my blood pressure, my sleep schedule, my events, and more. The only thing it couldn't do is connect to my FreeStyle Libre 2 to keep track of my blood sugar, and I hope that'll be covered in the near future. It's been quite comfortable to wear, I was worried it'd bother me since I've not used watches in ages, but it fits quite well. The watch face is bright enough to use during the day, for clear viewing, and the interface is intuitive once you've gone through the initial setup. Connecting to the phone was a breeze, and took almost no work at all.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving my new Samsung Watch 8. Huge improvement over my previous Watch 4. The fit is so comfortable and super light. I love how easy it is to change bands as I like to switch between the sports band and the hybrid band depending on what I am doing. Charges very fast although I do have problems charging on my Samsung wireless charger trio as the band does not lie flat so it does not connect. The display is crystal clear and response time is excellent. I make use of so many of the functions, there are very few I don't use. All in all I am extremely pleased I made the switch.

                        Turns out the watch is not really water proof. It gets damaged when submerged in clear water and the warranty does not cover water damage of any kind. Be aware of this. Additionally, the new curve of the straps does not allow it to rest flat on charging stations, so it does not charge. The original magnetic charger must be used.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new watch arrived promptly and has been really easy to set up to match with a Samsung Galaxy phone. It has been fairly intuitive to navigate its functions, and fun to explore all the health features. I like the clean design, and it is light weight and very comfortable to wear (including overnight). The battery lasts up to two days with continuous use, and takes about an hour to recharge. For phone calls, I am told the sound is of the same high quality as the phone. As a supplement to the phone, the watch is useful, functional, comfortable, and great value for money.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new square-circle design is very attractive and also seem to be more slimmer. The screen resolution is crisp; vivid and the brightness also helps to make it easy to read even in direct sunlight. The straps included however is too short and I need to purchase additional straps. I was able to set it up with ease when paring with Samsung S23 . It very responsive to touch without and delay. I use the watch record my activity when running on treatmill. The distance recorded are very closed and that give me confident the accuracy when GPS signal is not available.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch a week ago. Mostly happy with it. The design is great, the feel is very comfortable. The battery lasts just over a day which isn't the best, could possibly get longer using battery saver but who buys a watch to do that? Also I've had probiwith the sleep and energy score. It hasn't tracked me since purchase and I've tried every suggestion to resolve this issue. Cleaned sensor, changed arms, turn power saving on and off, reset watch, uninstalled and reinstalled apps and still no luck. I'm getting to the point where I might return to place of purchase.

I have been using samsung devices for over 20years, and again they exceeded my expectations. Absolutely love it. It is ticking all the boxes for my fitness and essential use. Its helped me stay on track with my goals and made my dailt tasks, reminders and planning super easy. Definately a super happy customer and very glad i decided to choose Samsung! I have recomended this to 2 of my friends and my partner who have all made the decision to buy one as well.

                        I bought this to replace my 2nd gen watch ( which was still working by the way) only to find out that it doesn't do what I bought it for. I have a pixel 7a phone, which by the way is a Samsung phone, but you have disabled the ability to use the ECG and BP function. Shame on you. I hope that Google goes with a different company for their phones in the future. This does not make me want to get any more Samsung products, it makes me sorry I didn't get a pixel watch. Because I can't use those specific features,it really doesn't do much more than my original Galaxy watch.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a twch savvy person but I have found this watch incredibly easy to use. There are simple manuals easy to access to help get u connected and how to navigate the watch. It's a lovely light watch with easy interchangeable straps which I think it's a lovely option. Good size face and wide selection of faces which u can customise. The only downside is the battery life, while the health apps are amazing to have it does drain the battery i haven't used the watch to it's full potential so I don't think it would last a full day if u did. I had to turn on the power saver to get around 1.5days use before charging. On the whole a really good watch and a good investment if u are always losing your fone at the bottom of your bag!

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch looks really nice, has bright display, variaty of features and is the most comfortable tracking watch I have had. However, there are some negatives too - some of the features are available only for Samsung smartphone users which is quite restrictive. The battery lasts around 2 days with minimum usage, which is just not enough. Also, the sport band it came with started getting dirty after few weeks of wear - the sisal bits are getting darker, and the corners of the band are turning blue. It's quite dissapinting quality for a Samsung product at such a price point and makes me wander how long would the watch last. While there are quite few positives of this watch, the negatives are a reason why I wouldn't repurchase it.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good but not great as it seems to be countkng steps when im not even moving. I do strongly recommend that a screen protector and clear soft watch face case be included in the box. It is pretty bad when you have to be extremely careful not to get screen scratched or damaged due to these things not being included. At least if it was included then I wouldn't have to stress so much about trying to purchase something online and it arriving as soon as possible to protect my extremely expensive nice fancy smart watch that should come with it in the first place.

                        I just upgraded from the Samsung Watch5 to the Samsung Watch8 and I am already incredibly blow away by the difference. I love the change to the watchface itself and the entire interface. Yhe change in speed and accuracy on a watch that was already great for me is now impeccable. The battery has improved vastly but I feel, still needs some work. The current update does not allow you to change the tone of preexisting alarm sounds on the watch, which would be nice to see and likely something I'm sure they will eventually implement. The price point for Samsung Watches, in my opinion, are some of the best that you will ever find for a device with this many features. It is very comfortable and adaptable to any type of lifestyle, I primarily use is due to my medical issues and it has been an extreme help watching out for certain symptoms. The ergonomics and overall brightness is incredible, the brightness alone is so good that you can have it at a fair level, with the Always on Display activated and tbe battery will last, much of what kills mine so quickly are the features that I choose to use but the charge is so insanely fast that it's often done by the time I take my medication, brush my teeth and get dressed quickly. The fact that this watch has 32GB of space blows me away. I love the Watch8, and cannot wait for future upgrades.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch in design is futuristic and donot get me wrong i like it I had watch4 for few years and installing that was super easy. For some reasons setting watch 8 took a while When it did connect, the mic on the watch didnt work but i could make calls but not speak and be heard The battery at the start didnt last a day so I thought let's do some research to increase battery life and dear god I almost had a break down. For some reasons it disconnected and refused to connect so my only option was to transfer it to new phone and again for some reason it worked and the battery last all day. The battery life on this watch for me last a day but with watch4 I could use it for few days. Would I recommend this yeah maybe if youre lucky.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So yes initially it looks massive on my small wrist, but on closer inspection it is just the squarer frame of the face. On set up I love the fact it asked if I wanted to restore the settings from my previous watch which I did and it has transferred all my existing settings and watch faces to the new device and really quickly. I am using the health monitoring features and have noticed there is a greater accuracy when recording steps than in earlier models alongside the updated gps. The blood pressure has been calibrated and the ECG has been recorded, so I will see how I get on after a work out. I love it so far and it has been a great addition to my fitness routine and wardrobe, the straps are easy to change so goes with everything.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very happy with my new Galaxy Watch 8! I've been wearing the Galaxy Watch 4 since that was released in 2021, but the Watch 8 feels much better on my wrist due to the new slimmer design, and it does feel like it brings up notifications a lot faster now, which is what I mainly use the watch for, and the design on my wrist looks a lot nicer with the silver accent than just the black circle, it looks much smarter. I charge every night, but I believe this would last a bit longer than one day if needed. I would definitely recommend purchasing the Watch 8!

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very impressed with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8. It fits snugly on my wrist and feels both lightweight and slim. Setup was quick and straightforward from the moment I linked it to my phone. The new 3nm processor, paired with the latest One UI, makes navigating menus and features smooth and effortless. The design is sleek and stylish, making it absolutely worth purchasing. One standout feature is its ability to measure my antioxidant levels, helping me monitor my diet and encouraging healthier habits — an innovative and welcome addition. After using it for a few days, I’ve realised how much I can do without my phone, which is incredibly convenient when I’m on the go. The battery life is also impressive, lasting at least two days.

The sleek design, the easy to navigate interface, the comfort when wearing this!! It really is an amazing watch. The sensors allow for accurate readings and I easily connected this to my phone. I really could just go on and on about this. Battery life is just over a day but I think thats because I'm testing everything out and wearing it over night too. Everything is customisable on the watch faces and there are just so many to choose from. I love this watch!!

It is sleek and contemporary, and also comfortable to wear. The set up was really easy with my mobile phone, and the app integration was excellent. I am somebody who loves stats and data, so this watch is perfect for me. A longer battery life would be preferable. I would also love to have an ECG capture with the heart data. But overall, a great watch.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Watch 8 to replace my Watch 4, which after quite a few years was starting to show signs of wear. Mainly, I wanted a better battery life, which the Watch 8 definitely delivers on. I now only charge every other day which is amazing! The 8 is also lighter, looks nicer and feels more comfortable on my wrist, it doesnt feel bulky at all, which is amazing considering all the upgrades to the display and AI features. Overall, I definitely recommend to everyone looking for an everyday smartwatch, you can't go wrong with the Watch 8.

                        The battery life of the device impresses me, and I'm finding it easy to get two full work days in between charges and a fair amount of use. The sleep tracking has been effective and accurate in assisting with regulating my energy levels and the other sensors have helped to identify stress before I realised that I was feeling it. The watch is comfortable to wear for longer periods of time, and the interface is customisable according to whats needed at given times. After two months it still looks and feels new despite constant use.

Coming from a Watch 7, the jump isn't massive, however, I really enjoy the new health features, those being Antioxidant Index and Vascular Load. I love understanding how my body works, and to have everything I need for that in a small package that sits on my wrist is amazing! I can get a couple days out of it before needing to charge, which is perfect for me. Overall, I am really happy with this watch!

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm upgrading from a Samsung Watch 4, and I can really see and feel the difference in the new Watch 8 vs the old 4. The screen has becoming noticeably larger and pixel density has probably increased as well, so the user interface has been able to fit in more information and buttons in a more relaxed manner, there's still plenty of empty space so it's not overly cramped. With regards to build quality, the new approach with the watch body looks and feels very nice. I went with the new hybrid watch strap and the quality and feel of it was nicer than I expected, on the inside face, it's essentially still a silicone based strap. Also, the watch's processor has improved a lot, and there's no noticeable lag when using it. Would thoroughly recommend a Watch 8 purchase.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having had a couple of the Classic watches, I decided to try the 'smaller' watch. There's nothing small about it. It fits just right on my wrist - and I'm a man. The software is smooth, the options and perfect for what I use a watch for. A variety of watch faces are suitable for it. I'm glad I chose it! As we most smart watches, the multiple functions that operate in the background still force the watch to be charged every couple of days. But that's a small price to pay to stay within the Galaxy ecosystem.

                        One week in with the Galaxy Watch 8 and I'm a convert. Looks sharp, came with a free band, and set up was a breeze. Battery easily gets through a full day — sleep tracking overnight, exercise included — and charges way faster than I expected. Haven't worn a watch in years and was a bit nervous about that, but I barely know it's there. Clear in any light, intuitive to navigate, and the gesture control caught me off guard in the best way. The health tracking has actually been genuinely motivating too. Highly recommend.

                        I've only have this for a month and it is incapable of tracking sleep accurately with gaps in the data now each and every night. When contacting Samsung for assistance they've been useless so far and more interested in trying to hand out 10% discount vouchers instead of actually fixing the problem. Otherwise it's a good watch with easy setup, reasonable battery life and a good set of watch faces to choose from...if only it did what it was supposed to do, and Samsung support was more focused on fixing the problem.

                        It's a cool watch but mine died only two weeks after purchase after getting in water—not even the sea—for less than 10 min of swimming—not even a full workout. Took it back to Samsung for warranty and had to fight with them to get it fixed and they made a "one time exception for me". While I appreciate the effort to make me right, they made me sign and swear I won't get it in water again, which is completely unacceptable for a device advertised to be waterproof and track your swimming that's also worth more than $400. Also, the new strap design is so weird and poorly designed that it prevents the watch from making contact with the wireless chargers. I can't charge it anymore in my 2 in 1 and 3 in 1 Samsung wireless charges without having to tie the straps in weird ways.

                        I recently upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 8, and I have to say, it has completely exceeded my expectations. I was previously using a Galaxy Watch 4 that remains an excellent choice and offers a lot of value for its price. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 builds on the foundation of the Galaxy Watch 4 and offers substantial upgrades in processing power, display brightness, and health coaching features, with the addition of integrated AI. For someone like me who owned a Galaxy Watch 4, the Galaxy Watch 8 is a compelling upgrade!

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently switched to the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, and it’s been a revelation. I usually wear a 44mm watch, but this smaller size feels perfectly compact and lightweight. What’s even better is its versatility, it seamlessly transitions from my business attire during the day to a sporty look for the gym in the evening. I’m also completely hooked on the sleep score and energy score features. They provide such valuable insights into my recovery and help me plan my energy output much more effectively each day.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a 10/10. My Galaxy Watch 8 (40mm) makes my phone jealous. It tracks my sleep, tells me to breathe when I’m stressed, and reminds me to stand up before I turn into a potato. The screen is so crisp, it's a pleasure to look at. I can literally check my heart rate while pretending to check the time in boring meetings. Battery life? Solid. Looks? Sleek. Function? Like having a tiny personal trainer, therapist, and weather reporter strapped to my wrist. I'll ever how I attend - Simply Brilliant - 10/10

                        Received my Galaxy Watch 8 (40 mm) yesterday. Was super easy to set-up! I was intrigued by the face redesign as some reviewers were not a fan. However, I actually quite like the 'squircle' shape and feel it's more sleek with no gaps in the strap. It sits more comfortably on the wrist that it's predecessors... I have tested the treadmill function and feel it's more accurate than my Galaxy Watch 7. I am pleased with the upgrade and look forward to testing more of the health apps available on this newer series.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch to replace my old Samsung 3 watch. Once I learned how to use it, there is no comparison. It is easy to swipe and find what you want and has a big, bright screen that is easy to see. I like how you can organise apps and tiles the way you like. I didn’t particularly like the band and the way it closes but the new band attachment is so much easier to use, no more fiddling with pins, it just clicks in and releases with a button underneath the watch. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just switched phones and watches across to the android system and got the galaxy watch 8 as part of this. It's a nice looking watch, but what has really impressed me is the quality and variety of data I now have, particularly as it relates to health and fitness. Previously, with the old devices I got pretty basic info and the readings were inconsistent. With the galaxy watch I have really fast readings, with lots of quality data. Now, using the Samsung health app I have a good read on so many things and it's very simple to tweak and get high value info to help on the health and fitness journey. This supports data nerds like me who like to dive in deep, but it's also super useful for people who want straight forward clear feedback on how things are tracking. So glad I made the switch.

I like the camera function, as I often need to take pictures in weird angles. The ability to change quick functions is a boon. Connectivity to apps on my phone also works well, and integrates well most of the time. Battery life has not improved much over the classic, but it still lasts me a day and that's good enough. The screen is robust and strong, durability has improved over the classic.

                        I've had this watch since Christmas 2025 and im very impressed. The battery life is alright, i get roughly 25 hours (for sleep then the rest of the day). The connectivity to your phone is really quick and syncs without any errors. The display is bright and powerful, I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND HAVING THE SCREEN ON FULL BRIGHTNESS! The screen is that bright that on full brightness it could probably be seen from mars 😂. The interface is easy to use and the sensors are accurate. Definitely reccomend!

I'm very impressed with the levels of customisation you can give to this. It connected easily to my phone. The watch is comfortable to wear and the battery life is just over a day but I'm sure as the novelty wears off it off. The buttons have additional functionality and are easy to use. They dont stick out too much so you dont end up catching them or accidentally pressing them. The standard watch strap is ok, trying to secure the 3nd of the watch strap can be a little tricky as it goes under the main strip and I do seem to keep pinching my skin. Overall a massive thumbs up from me. I really am enjoying this watch and it does everything I need it to do and so so much more!

I love some of the features like the heart rate monitor, step count, and getting notifications (making me my own human Tamagotchi). I don't like that you need to download 3 separate apps to use it. Some of the functions and app stuff is confusing to navigate and figure out. I really don't like the band as it doesn't breathe at all, but have ordered a different band to try. Compared with other smart watches the price was more reasonable for this one.

                        LIt has so many exercises and even the ability to create your own exercises. A really nice feature is the web browser, which is helpful when you want to search something without getting your phone. The fitness tracking is also very good because it is accurate and it can track so many things. It is very thin and light, which is nice when sleeping with it on. The screen brightness is good, being clearly visible in sunlight. The battery charges really fast and lasts around 3 days.

                        I got the new watch last week. It looks great, holds a charge for longer. (I'm upgrading from the Watch4). The new faces that are available look nice, until you see the horrible orange highlight colours that can't be changed, this is minor. The main issue is the new strap raises the watch too high to charge on the dock. It charges with the one supplied, but to use the Samsung dock you need to take the strap off. I subsequently bought the fabric strap but this too sits too high.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working mom, my life is a constant juggling between work, family, and household responsibilities. I've been searching for a way to stay organised and on top of things. That's when I decided to purchase a the Samsung smartwatch, and it's been a total game-changer! This watch has become my trusted sidekick, helping me stay connected, organised, and focused throughout the day. The Samsung smartwatch has genuinely made my life easier, allowing me to manage my dad to day tasks, respond to important messages, and also take care of myself – all while navigating the chaos of motherhood and work. If you're a busy mum like me, or just someone looking to upgrade your time-management game, I highly recommend the Samsung smartwatch. It's a worthy investment that will make a significant difference in your daily life.

                        I upgraded from an Active 2, but I honestly can't say I am in love with this watch. I find the "bubbles" hard to read, I hate having to enter a password, things are not as easy to find as I would like (it takes a while to find what I am looking for, it's not as organized as I would have hoped). I upgraded about 4 months ago. The battery is not lasting long enough, there is not way I'd be able to wear this for 2 days, and that is without using it much during the day.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally received the watch 2 days ago. What struck me immediately was how slim it was compared to my previous model. It was simple enough to set up. The display is very clear and colours sharp. I haven't used all the features yet. Notifications come through as expected as well as messages and calls. I can answer calls and the audio is clear. Will update again after a few more days usage. The only odd thing is the watch face is round but within a square bezel!

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought the Galaxy Watch8 (40mm) to replace my Galaxy Watch4 (40mm). The Watch4 was not holding charge. I couldn't be happier so far. The Watch8 looks great and performance is great. I always needed to run the Watch4 in battery saving mode to get a full day without recharging. The Watch8 I can run entire day without using battery saving mode and Wow! I can see the dials and know time without pressing buttons. But best, is it looks great on my wrist.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not worn a watch for many years. Took the plunge and went for the Watch8 mainly for Health and fitness and it did not disappoint. My first swim it correctly recorded my laps, style of swim and times between individual laps. Monitoring my sleeping i was also very interested in. Get a great breakdown of my steepening habits during the night. Even recording of my snoring. All the data is easily read on my Samsung Health App. Very happy with this product...

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Watch 8 classic has a superior battery life which I had seen reviews of it lasting for a little over 3 days. I find that the connectivity was very good however it took me a few minutes to figure out as there was new interface on the previous watch I had owned. The sensors are impeccable as I had my heart rate being monitored and I had also discovered that it is safe for the pacemaker. The display itself is fairly small which is perfect for my small wrist.

                        Thank you for this thoughtful review about the Galaxy Watch8, Milli! Battery life is a big priority for many users, and it's great to know you're getting multiple days of use on a single charge. We are also happy to hear that the connectivity and health sensors are working well for you, in particular the heart rate monitoring, which is designed to be both accurate and consistent. We also appreciate you noticing the new interface, which we have further improved for a more intuitive experience, and we’re glad you were able to get used to it quickly. Additionally, it’s great that the watch fits your wrist comfortably thanks to the compact, cushioned design of our new model, which doesn't sacrifice screen quality or performance.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 8 from my Watch 4 and I love it!! For starters it is noticeably lighter than my previous device, which makes it much more comfortable to wear while sleeping. I actually forget that I have it on. I am also loving the upgraded features including the AI functionality. I thought that battery would last longer but it is still better than my old device, so not totally disappointed. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

It fits very well on my wrist nice and flat and is comfortable to wear. Its features truly stand out to me particularly the health features which is important to me. It is such a great buy that the only place I don't wear it is in the shower or when I go swimming ( although I know that it can be worn when doing so) - I just prefer to keep the watch as great as it is without getting wet.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just upgraded from the Watch 5 to the Watch 8, and I’ve got to say the comfort is a huge step up. I could never wear the 5 to sleep, it was just too uncomfortable. But the Watch 8 is easy to forget it's even on. I’ve actually been able to use the sleep tracking now, which is a nice bonus. Battery life, though, is kind of meh. It gets me through the day, but I was hoping for a bit more improvement there. Still, overall I’m pretty happy with the upgrade.

                        I bought Watch8 along with Fold7 offer but its really great with modern floating design of the dial. Been using to monitor my health for steps, heart beat and now my sleep. Till now its accurate and helps me to be productive and conscious about being active. Battery should have been little more lasting but that's not a problem as I charge it very often. Can access all my apps through watch which is great. Overall very happy with my Watch8. Thanks Samsung.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this watch needed an upgrade after having my active 2 for a couple years the difference is uncanny smoother , better display and longer battery it can last 2 days which is extremely impressive cause my last one only lasted a couple hours. There are so many features I especially love the active side where I can see my steps and my heart rate as well as the ability to see how much sleep I got the night before. You know how you usually have to individually tap multiple times on a watches keyboard to get a certain letter well the Galaxy watch 8 has a fully functional keyboard saving you time from all that extra tapping if you don't feel like texting on your phone. All in all Absolutely recommended the Galaxy Watch 8 for your next watch or an upgrade from your last one trust me it is worth it and you'll see the difference.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been procrastinating about purchasing the Samsung watch for sometime now, worried it would be too bulky & distracting me. I previously had an Ourar ring a few years backnthat helped me monitor health, stress etc. I made the decision recently to purchase the Samsung watch a few weeks back after being locked out of my Mums house without my phone & no way to contact her to let me in while she was out. Had I had the watch I could have phined her instead of sitting in her carport for hours waiting for her to get home 🤣🤣 I was pleasantly surprised with my new watch when it arrived. Much more conditioning than i had thought it would be & its motivated me to move more. I've just started taking up swimming laps, walking more with great indo from the health features. Very happy I purchased, only wish I had not waited so long!

I bought it for health reasons as I want to monitor my fitness and sleep. I love how it is paired to the app and I can check any progress from my phone...it makes for a very easy to read companion in my day. I'm not great at technical stuff but have had no problems with learning and accessing information...excellent guide and easy to access. So far am thrilled with the watch.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4th galaxy watch in about 8 years. Battery of the 8 is by far the best. Charging time is also fantastic. My main issue with the watch is having tattoos, none of the health or sleep features work as on wrist detection does not work. The only way to get notifications with tattoos is to enable notifications when not wearing the watch. The only way I can get sleep features working is to wear the watch on my opposite wrist while asleep.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] well at the ripe old age of 58 i thought I'd get myself one of these new-fangled smart watches. wow! there is so much stuff on it i am overwhelmed. i found some of it straightforward, and some of it completely over my head! i don't know what to do with half of the stuff! i just cant decide on what watch face to have so i keep changing. it will take me a while to get to grips with it all, but overall it appears to be a fantastic piece of technology.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Galaxy Watch8. I upgraded it from Watch6 and I'm glad I did. It looks awesome on my wrist, seems to be much quicker and more responsive than my previous watch. Have few more health settings - still under testing. There is only one "but"... I got it with sport band which is slightly bended / rounded. This make impossible to charge watch on wireless charging pads (not the one included with watch), because the watch not laying flat.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Samsung Galaxry 8 watch when I upgraded my ph9ne last year. The watch is awesome! The functions are mind blowing. I'm wearing a device that talks to me about so many different aspects on my health - good, not so good and hints and ideas how to improve. It even alerts me to 'move' which is invaluable to someone who hyperfocus' and can literally barely move for 3-4 hours. I was completely unaware how it would impact my life

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid upgrade from previous non classic/ultra/pro variants. I've had the 4 and the 6 and now the 8. Display is amazingly bright and clear, sapphire glass is great, it is by far the most comfortable and lightweight watch I've owned. The dual band GPS is very accurate and reliable, the chip is powerful and the watch is very smooth and fast to use. Extremely pleased with this year's watch and enjoying the refreshed design too.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this watch a week ago and have been mainly happy with it. Unfortunately, I find the blood pressure monitor is not accurate. I've checked the reading on the watch a number of times against a proper blood pressure monitor and the readings are never the same. Also, the sleep results are difficult to understand and I find this quite frustrating . The most annoying thing is the watchband. In order for the watch to take proper measurements, you have to wear the watch 2cm above the wrist bone. This makes the watch very uncomfortable to wear and not very attractive on the wrist. Its important that the watch is tight enough on the wrist to take the readings but this makes the watch really uncomfortable to wear. All in all, I love the watch but hope they take comfort into account for future design and make it easier to understand the results.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Went from pixel watch 3 to samsung watch8. The bad: - Battery not as good as pixel watch 3 even with AOD off - Sensors not as good as pixel watch 3 - Treadmill workout still needs manual adjustment (pixel watch 3 was pretty accurate) The good: - I like samsung health and integration with samsung fold7 - watch8 is light and comfortable -so far no irritation with stock watch band (pixel watch 3 irritated my skin)

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Watch8 for a little while now, and I’m honestly really impressed. I had a Garmin before, but it never quite clicked for me — the interface just didn’t feel as smooth or intuitive. Switching to the Watch8 has been a breath of fresh air. The display is bright and super easy to read, the menus make sense, and everything feels fast and polished. The fitness and health tracking are great, and I actually enjoy checking my stats now. I also love how well it syncs with my Samsung phone — it just works without any fuss... complete opposite of my Garmin watch. Overall, the Watch8 has been a big upgrade for me. It’s stylish, user-friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to use! The only thing I’d tweak is the battery life — it doesn’t last quite as long as I’d like. But overall, it’s a stylish, user-friendly watch that’s made my day-to-day a lot easier

                        Recently upgraded my watch4 to watch8. I have always loved Samsung watches and when I got the trade-in credit plus another $50 voucher to switch It was a no brainer. I really love the updated Samsung health application as now it keep me on track and let me focus and be more productive. It would have been nice if the accessories from Samsung were a bit cheaper but for the price I paid no complaints. Overall a good buy

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Samsung Active 2 Watch for many years now, after finding out I did not enjoy using the smartwatches from other brands. It was time to upgrade, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try out the Samsung Watch 8. It is a massive upgrade: I have been genuinely blown away with this watch. The interface is exceptionally responsive, the wear app makes it so easy to to customise the watch to my needs, and importantly to me the watch face isn't too big (small wrists, I struggle with this frequently). I enjoy the variety of activities that it can log, the extensive array of watch faces (though i suspect i will only use a couple of them) and the battery life is good too. The only minor qualm I have about the watch are that I wish it was possible to shortcut more frequent activities, rather than the three you can have. Other than that, i love this watch.

There are new options and so pleased with processor and felt going through the options very fast and no lagging. The design is also amazing and defiantly worth purchasing. Great option on this watch to measure my antioidant level to confirm current diet and helps to encourage improvement. It also has a long life battery life

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this for my birthday because I had an older model. Forever a galaxy user but this far exceeded my expectations. I mainly use it for productivity, texts, calls, emails etc... But the health features are amazing too, it's even got me to start being more active. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for an upgrade and or your first smart watch

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks and feels great. Thought the 40mm might have been too small but is a good fit and enough screen space for me. Plenty of features and performs quick without any feeling of lag. Can be run without the phone by using the LTE connectivity for calls, messages, music etc when doing a work out but needs to be fully charged as the battery may not last a full workout. My biggest complaint is the battery life, if you use it to monitor sleep and dont run in battery saver mode its hard to get 24 hours out of it, if your day invovled sleep monitoring plus a work out. Using it with blurtooth on and phone always around is only way to push that battery past 24 hours. If you wanted a smart watch to monitor your workouts and health this is great. If you wanted a watch that can be used like a phone and go workouts without the phone, the battery life may give disappointment.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, it wasn’t a good start - I initially failed my intelligence test by not being able to fit the strap but perseverance paid off and eventually got it on. When I first opened the box I thought it looked bigger than my previous watch 7 but once it was on, it looked fine and I definitely noticed it felt lighter on. Functionality-wise, there’s a plethora of options which I still need to explore although so far I’ve been impressed with the way it monitors my sleep. It’s also possible to keep track of the timing of activities on the watch face (e.g when you’re walking) as well as the watch showing the time. The one downside I would observe is the battery life - even after messing around with settings to switch off the watch face being on all the time, the most I’m getting so far is about a day and a half so I have to be mindful when I charge. All in all though, worth the upgrade.

The screen size is a wider, somehow larger format. The software is tightly coupled with the smart phone. The structured method for accessing the different apps is better than previous models. The watch gets added into system backup, migrated in Samsung Health, and added into Samsung Find.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mainly got this watch as I'm a Tyoe 1 diabetic and need to keep an eye on my blood glucose levels. It wasn't too hard to connect the watch to my Samsung phone for accessing CGM data and have my BG clearly displayed on the face beside the time. A quick glance at my wrist is much easier than pulling my phone out to check! I also enjoy the other things it does, tracking exercise and sleep, as they are also important for managing Type 1 diabetes well. I only gave 4 stars as the battery life is pretty short and I've been caught out occasionally when I haven't remembered to recharge. It is quick to charge though, and not a big problem to leave it on the charger for a short time each day ... if I remember! I'm a gardener, and the watch seems to be holding up well to the soil and knocks that it gets in the garden. I got a screen protector applied at the time of purchase which obviously helps.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup was quick and easy. Samsung Smart Switch does everything - and more. Im really enjoying the features it offers and the way it pairs with my new Samsung S26 Ultra to give me notifications and the ability to take and make calls and texts. Battery life is less than I expected, the watch has to be charged every day. All in all though Im very happy and would recommend this to anyone.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace an older smart watch that broke, and first thing I noticed was how bright and easy to read the screen is compared to my older one. Many of the features I use are the health related ones, and it works great for those. The band is very comfortable even after wearing it the entire day. On top of all that, I've had several compliments on how nice my watch looks.
