                          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.

                          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

                          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 !

                          I received the Galaxy Watch8 2 weeks ago and am very happy with my purchase! I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 and I have to say that the battery life is so much better with the Watch8 than the Watch7. With the Watch7 LTE, I would get less than 1 day of battery life, even with the LTE turned off, and just sitting around the house. With the Watch8, even walking around all day while on vacation, I was returning to the hotel room with approximately 50% battery, such an improvement! The display is also much criper, and I really like the new UI. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a smartwatch.

                          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

                          The Samsung Watch 8 stands out for its sleek, lightweight design that feels effortless on the wrist. Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, the watch complements your style without compromising comfort. Functionality is smooth and intuitive, but the battery life may fall short for power users. With typical use, it lasts about a day and a half—enough for daily wear, but frequent charging is necessary if you're tracking health metrics or staying connected throughout the day. Overall, it’s a beautifully crafted smartwatch that excels in design and wearability. A longer-lasting battery would make it truly exceptional.

                          Ive upgraded from the Watch 4, to the watch 7, and now the watch 8. And they just keep getting better and better. My last one was 40mm, this time i went for the 44mm, and its much better I love the fact that it has a running coach on it Not too sure about the accuracy of the antioxidants bit though, as its tells me very low and to eat more fruit and veg, i practically live on fruit and home grown veg Very comfortable, even if the standard strap is a little bit too long, and thinner than my last 2 watches Unless theres any new MAJOR upgrades in the next few years, i cant see me updating from this one any time soon

                          My experience with the Samsung Watch 8 BT has been very good. I have enjoyed using all the features for health benefits. It let me see deeper into what I am actually doing when I go out for a run. I gave it to my son to test out as well and he was raving about the various features like body composition - which let him see his body fat % and so much more. My only problem with it is that the Bluetooth drains the battery very quickly which means that I cannot use it for sleep purposes which was the main reason I bought it. Apart from that, I really enjoyed using this watch and would 100% recommend it to a friend.

                          I tried out the watch at the galaxy experience and found it an amazing marvel of technology. The sleek oled display with it's modern interface and the integration with Google services are all very nice, especially the gemini integration. While I haven't experienced the battery for myself, my friends who used it say the battery life is exceptional. I appreciate that it has cellular connectivity for calls to and the heart rate sensor is a big plus

                          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.

                          I've had the Galaxy Watch 8 for a little while now and it's been awesome. The first thing I noticed is how light and comfortable it is. I've had other smartwatches that felt chunky and heavy, but I literally forget I'm wearing this one, even when I'm sleeping. The new squircle design actually looks way better in person than in pictures, and the band is super comfortable. It feels really well-made, and the battery life is surprisingly good, lasting me well over a day even with my always-on display. The whole thing just feels like a natural part of my day, which is exactly what you want from a smartwatch.

                          Upgraded my Watch 42mm (2018) to the Watch8 44mm, and I'm having a blast with it. I was barely using my first watch and had reservations on how much use I would get out of my new Watch8. But a week later all those doubts are out of my mind! I use the watch daily to track my sleep, measure my BMI every morning, and calculate all my daily fitness objective. The ease that the UI provide to access my music during my runs or cycling has been such a boon! And I can't stop playing with the amount of display customization Samsung has provided for the device. Every event I try out a new watch face, its always switching between casual, business and sports mode regularly! Definately recommend this!

                          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

                          The Samsung Watch 8 is beautiful; with its stunning 44mm display, it truly is perfect for someone like me who has big fingers! The feedback from the phone to the watch is seamless. And the fitness tracker, from heart rate to sleep quality, is nice, especially with Gemini AI, a nice quirk. One thing I must say is the square and circle design is not appealing to me; I definitely prefer it to be a seamless circle. Another thing is the battery life; for the regular person, it will last the day and need a charge at night, which could be better. But the positives outweigh the negatives

                          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.

                          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.

                          I like to run on weekdays, so I was impressed to see that the new Galaxy Watch 8 comes with a free running coach. It helps me stay on track with my running goals and targets, while also monitoring my heart rate and running pace. The watch is incredibly lightweight its barely noticeable when I’m wearing it. The display looks flawless, and I can easily see all my data clearly on the screen. This watch is definitely going to be my go to device for running. I also love that I can stay connected with friends and family by seeing notifications from my phone right on the watch.

                          Our Watch range has always offered plenty of versatility, providing a range of functions to boost as many parts of your day as possible, Ravan, and the Watch8 not only continues this trend but adds to it. There are a wealth of other health tracking options available, on top of the running coach, to help you achieve all kind of health and wellness goals. Its slim build means you'll often forget that you're even wearing it, but the easy way it keeps you connected to your world means that you'll be kept abreast of everything that is happening. It's fantastic to see that you're already so impressed by it. ^DB at Samsung Support

                          I've enjoyed exploring the different features of this watch so far. I've found the options such as sleep apnea analysis, blood oxygen levels and skin temperature to predict period options to record whilst sleeping to be interesting ideas I had not thought about before purchasing the watch. I've found the watch comfortable to wear, even whilst sleeping. I think the design is sleek and not too bulky, but feels secure throughout wear. The watch is easy to navigate with a good sized face to check emails and reply to messages. So far I am enjoying wearing and using the watch.

                          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.

                          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.

                          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 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.

                          Galaxy watch 8 is a great looking watch slim and not bulky, the Ai features are great and work well apart from sometimes when you summon Bixby nothing happens, that's the same with Google Gemini you say 'Hey Google' and nothing not like Google assistant that responds straight away. All the Samsung health features work smoothly on the Galaxy watch 8.... battery life around 2 days but with battery saver on you can squeeze 4 days but you lose a few health tracking features. Other than that's its a great looking watch packed with great features very happy so far 👍🏻

                          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!

                          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.

                          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.

                          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.

                          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!

                          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.

                          I've had a smart watch for a while but it was not a samsung. Wow! Why did it take me so long? 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!!

                          I decided to upgrade from my Galaxy Watch 6 to the Galaxy Watch 8 44mm as I was very intrigued by the new UI and design. I must say that I am quite happy with the new watch. It's far better than the previous models and the battery life is also a bit better. The new UI helps you get much better battery life despite not really being much bigger. The design itself is great, but not for everyone! The software is nicely designed and the watch is zippy. My only gripe with it is that I wish the wireless charging was faster! Overall it's a great watch!

                          This smart watch immediately draws attention; I have already received a number of positive comments from my colleagues and family when I have been wearing this device over the last few days. 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.

                          I've been using this watch for about a month now and the battery lasts me almost 2 full days, conciderating i have AOD on, and i use it a lot. The phone connectivity could be better, but for most users this is not a real issue, display is visible at all times, day and night, i love the fact that you can turn it into a flashlight, now the sensors, i go biking a lot, and they seem to work well. Speed is realistic, heart rate is right. Performance wise, i dont really know anything about performance, but in general i do recommend this watch

                          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 Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 that I purchased has replaced the Galaxy Watch6 I had previously. The Watch8 feels immediately better, not only to wear, but in terms of design and quality. It was very easy to set-up, allowing me to transfer data from the Watch6 without any issues. At the moment I am only a few days in to using the Galaxy Watch 8, but first impressions are great. The display seems like it's been improved in terms of colour and resolution (although I'm no expert). The features that I have used are intuitive and seem accurate.

With health tracking high on my agenda, this watch paired with my phone has really helped me dial in on the key points to ensure i can track and monitor my performance, my body battery and my welfare. This watch is an absolute gem of a product.

                          The Galaxy Watch 8 is an impressive upgrade — sleek, lightweight, and comfortable to wear all day. The display is vibrant and easy to read, even in bright sunlight, and the performance feels fast and responsive. Health tracking is more accurate, with improved heart rate monitoring and advanced sleep insights. Battery life easily lasts through the day with room to spare, and the new features integrate seamlessly with my phone. Stylish, functional, and packed with useful tools — it’s a great smartwatch for both fitness and everyday use.

                          I have used Pixel watch, Pixel watch 2 and Pixel watch 3 for last couple years. Apart from getting notifications, i wanted to track my health especially sleeping habits. None of the pixel watches were comfortable on my wrist while sleeping. With the Galaxy Watch 8 44mm, i have been sleeping with it since the day i received it. It did help me realize how much sleep deprived i was. Its been just about 10 days using it, and I am already getting better with my sleeping habits. The watch is really light weight and comfortable.

                          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.

                          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.

                          I think that what Samsung have done with the tiles on the Watch8 makes it much better. The ability to group related "thumbnail" topics is really helpful. The faster charging is a game changer which enables me to wear the watch at night - previously I have been using the Galaxy Ring to monitor my sleep, now I can do everything from the one device. The one area that seems a bit flaky to me is the antioxidant measurement. I try to eat a decent amount of vegetables, carrots in particular, but it reports as very low.

                          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.

                          This is a watch I never knew I needed. Firstly, I love training and this watch tracks my movement. I thought I was doing a lot of walking in just my everyday travels but know I KNOW I am. It gives me a different reading on my kilometres to the treadmill which is a bit disapponting as I want it to say 5k which is what the treadmill reads but the watch always has it as less. I am able to see how high my hearbeat raises to on the spin bike. It tracks circiut but iI am not sure what it is measuring. I am yet to use it whist swimming. I know that I can but I am a bit wary that I may not press the lock water out bit. However I am most excited to use it there as I wantot know if it tracks my laps which will be brilliant and my speed per length. That will be very interesting

                          I bought this to replace my smaller Galaxy watch 7. Super easy to set up and start using. It has so many great features it's hard to focus on just one. I love the health related features. It's so easy to log exercises and check up on my heart rate, definitely helps keep me motivated! I wear it while I sleep, it lets me see my sleep cycles and gives me advice if anything needs improvement. The only very minor thing I don't like is that when I put it into sleep mode and check the time, usually when half asleep in the dark, it first shows the regular watch face then slips into the basic sleep mode time. It's like a lag in timing. I just find it mildly annoying because my regular watch face is bright. Otherwise I am happy with my watch, everything else seems to work great.

                          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.

                          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!

                          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.

                          The design is controversial. I really don't like that the wireless charging function from the phone has not been turned, although the back has become flatter. I also didn't like that the back is white. It always should be black, even on a Silver watch. The black back makes the watch look thinner. On the positive side, the useful part of the display has become a little larger, and new sensors have appeared. Overall I like the Samsung watch, I would rate it a 4. But I want to get your attention so I rated it lower.

                          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

                          I'm new to smart watches, so it was important to me to get a watch that was easy to learn, and cover all the expectations of what a watch should be able to do. The galaxy 8 certainly lived up to my expectations. The ease of each feature surpassed my expectations. I was set up and ready to go, with no real problems. The features, and functions, helped me to love this watch. Battery life lasts about 3 days, which isnt bad! The watch face is clear, and it's my lifeline if by phone is at the bottom of my bag!!!!

                          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.

                          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.

                          I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Bluetooth 44mm and I’m really impressed with it. The design is sleek, lightweight, and comfortable to wear all day. The display is bright and clear, making it easy to check notifications and health stats even in sunlight. The health features are very accurate – from heart rate and sleep tracking to stress monitoring and body composition. It motivates me to stay active and gives me detailed insights into my wellness. The workout modes are varied and the step counter is precise, which I really appreciate. Battery life is solid, lasting almost two days with regular use, and the Bluetooth connection works flawlessly with my phone. I can take calls, reply to messages, and control music directly from my wrist. A stylish and reliable smartwatch!

                          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.

                          The step counter jumped by 23 steps when i stopped for a drink when walking home for 2.5miles, i didn't even move, only to reach down into my bag as i saw it on the back of my hand change whilst on the walking work out app. Also i was not impressed to find out that the Anti Oxident meter is a gimmick because it tests how orange your skin is by eating carotenoids, no wonder it suggests eating pumpkins, because these and carrots are loaded with the orange pigment. Its not a true anti oxidant reading, as i have tested it during alcohol consumption and it never went down. Other than these two flaws its been great, it needs charging every day or two, depending upon screen usage, i also wish the strap was a little longer to get it around my ankle, because i am not allowed watches in work.

                          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!

The Samsung watch can have multiple faces on it which is so useful and easy to see and navigate through, adding the apps you use is so stress free and connection to phone went so smooth and can see my apps on watch crystal clear. It fits snuggly to wrist and felt as though won't fall off any time soon Overall totally love this watch as stylish easy to use and so comfortable to wear

                          What an amazing piece of kit. It can do so much and every time I scroll through the features I seem to find something else. 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!

                          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.

                          Some thoughts, firstly, about the Watch 8, it's been refined further, and the biggest improvement is the fit on the wrist. I much prefer the flatter profile, which means the best fit to date and lets be honest fit is everything for comfort and measuring the big list of SHEALTH attributes. Beyond that UI8 works its magic on the UI, still not sure about the pill format, but love the Now bar, battery seems a solid 2 days, build is great, screen seems allot bigger than its 44mm size.

                          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 purchased the watch as a Christmas present for my husband. After wearing the watch for 6 days the battery life was not improving. The most you will get for battery life is 1.5 days with all features turned off. This makes it an expensive digital watch. Very disappointed when comparing to Garmin's that he was getting an average of a 6 days battery life. I do not recommend purchasing this watch especially if you currently have a Garmin and are thinking of trying a Galaxy watch.

                          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’ve been using the Watch 8 for a while now, and it really feels like a step up from my previous smartwatch. The display is super bright and sharp, which makes it easy to check notifications and fitness stats even in direct sunlight. I love how smooth the performance is — no lag when switching between apps or checking messages. Battery life is better than I expected; I can usually go a full day with heavy use and still have some charge left. The health features, especially the heart rate and sleep tracking, feel more accurate compared to older models I’ve tried. It also has a nice, premium feel on the wrist without being too bulky, so I can wear it all day comfortably. Overall the Watch 8 is reliable, stylish, and genuinely useful. Definitely worth it if you want a smartwatch that balances performance and design.

                          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.

                          can't disable ''Wallet'', keeps syncing all the time and killing the battery, like other useless things; how in the world you make this and then it's impossible to disable ''Wallet'' not only this, it's impossible to do anything, ''force stop doesn't work; don't recommend this watch not only because of this, but it's not much better than the 2018 Galaxy Watch; I do not use the absolutely useless health or exercise stuff, I'd also get rid of those, absolutely useless

                          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!

                          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.

                          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...

                          Alright, check out this review for the Galaxy Watch 8: Okay, so I've been rocking the Galaxy Watch 8 for a few weeks now, and I'm pretty impressed. The design is sleek, and the display is super vibrant – perfect for glancing at notifications on the go. The battery life is solid too; I can usually get through two days without needing a charge. The fitness tracking is on point, accurately recording my steps, workouts, and even sleep patterns. Plus, the added health features like the ECG and blood pressure monitoring are cool, though I'm no doctor, so I take those with a grain of salt. Overall, the Galaxy Watch 8 is a solid upgrade. It's not perfect, but it's a stylish and functional smartwatch that seamlessly integrates into my daily life. If you're in the market for a new wearable, this one is definitely worth checking out!

                          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. The Galaxy Watch8 is a helpful and reliable part of your day! ^CL at Samsung Support

                          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.

                          I have had many versions of the Galaxy watch, from the 4 classic onwards. My last model as the watch 6 and it served me very well and was nothing wrong with it, but with some good offers to be had on a trade in the upgrade to the 8 was so worth it. the 8 is by far the most comfortable to wear to exercise, sleep and everything in between. I found the running coach surprisingly good and has really improved my 5k ability and time is improving along with that.

                          I’ve been using the Galaxy Watch 8 (44 mm LTE) for about two weeks now and I’m really happy with it. The design is slim and comfortable, and the screen is super bright and clear, even outside in the sun. It runs really smoothly and I love that I can still get calls and messages without having my phone with me thanks to the LTE. It also feels sturdy and well made, so I don’t worry about wearing it every day. The health features have been great too. Sleep tracking has given me useful insights, and I like checking things like heart rate and body composition. GPS has been spot on during runs, and the battery easily lasts me a full day (longer if I turn off the always-on display). Fast charging has also been handy for quick top-ups. Overall, it’s been a great smartwatch experience so far—stylish, reliable, and packed with features.

                          I really like the new watch 8 becasue of its style and functionality. 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.

                          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.

                          I have had this watch for a month now and it is fantastic. Upgraded from the 6 model and this one has even more features that I use all the time. Lots of health tracking functions which I use constantly. EKG, blood oxygen SPo2, heart rate etc. I still need to calibrate the blood pressure monitor with an external one but I intend to use this health function as well. Fitness tracking is really good as well. Tap my CC from the watch now instead of the phone.

                          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.

                          The Galaxy Watch 8, 44mm is a great smartwatch where the new ONEUI brings all notifications, health screening and AI at your wrist. The watch is very light, well build, with a premium eye-catchy design. The bright and vivid display is a joy to work with. Gemini AI is available at your wrist. I love it. It's my first experience with a Galaxy watch and beyond buzzing for it. I really enjoy all the Health screening features, such as ECG, blood pressure, sleeping tracker. The watch does all the usual heart rate checks, stress levels monitoring and so much more. I am really looking forward to test the Running coach - after you've ran for 12-15 min, the watch will produce a personalised plan for you. And secondly, the sleeping coach - after 7 nights of tracking the watch provides you with valuable insight on your rest and sleeping habits.

                          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 is simply the best galaxy watch I've had and I've had 5 out of 8 of them. Admittedly they obviously get better each iteration so you'd expect by the 8th for the tech to be insanely good. And it is! It's superb. Frankly I don't know how I've done without all the features on the 8 in my entire life. I love the antioxidants tech, the new sleep features, the actual screen is amazing. It's an amazing phone and I would recommend wholeheartedly!

                          It's tracks everything I could ever want to keep track of. Steps, sleep, heartbeat, food, water.

                          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.

                          I am more than satisfied with the functions and size of my Galaxy Watch 8. I have downsized from the Gaxlaxy 6 pro which has become too bulky for me. The slimmer Watch 8 is exactly what I needed and the functions are great. Only downside is that I am getting about 24 hours battery life. I would have liked to get the full 30 hours. I have minimized the apps and functions that chew through battery but 24 hour is about the best I get.

                          I absolutely love my Samsung Galaxy Watch. It looks great, is comfortable to wear, and has excellent battery life. The fitness tracking features are very accurate, and it helps me stay motivated with my daily walks, hikes, and health goals. The screen is bright and easy to read, and the watch works perfectly with my Samsung phone. Overall, it's a fantastic smartwatch and one of the best tech purchases I've made. Highly recommended!

                          I bought the galaxy watch 8 and traded in my watch 4 classic. The trade in was seamless. I was skeptical about all the hype samsung was saying about the watch. But you actually get used to it and half the time you forget your wearing a watch, it really is a nice feeling. Not sure about some of the new features and how accurate they are as they are still in beta but still cool to see and great ideas. Would recommend this watch.

                          Absolutely love this watch! It has a lovely sleek design and a nice large screen which is a massive upgrade from my last smart watch! So useful with my busy life and workouts! Its actually been so much better at monitoring my workouts than my last watch that was a bit temperamental with its accuracy! The wide ranges of faces u can add and the quality of them exceeded my expectations! Would definitely recommend this watch!

                          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)

                          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
