                              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.

                              I've upgraded from my watch for and then to the watch 6 and now this beautiful watch 8. This is the most comfortable watch of the series and I can wear it all day in extreme comfort. The battery lasts several days and the display is extremely easy to read both indoors and Outdoors. I have the LTE version so I can leave my phone at home and all of my necessary information is available on the watch. I answer phone calls on the watch, keep track of my notifications and upcoming meetings as well as my health metrics. This thing's a little miracle on a wrist. I get compliments on the style. It also has Gemini AI, which I do use on a regular basis.

                              Upgraded from Samsung watch6 after the update on the 6th messed up my watch to the point it would not work correctly, which made me not wear or use my old watch. But the Samsung watch 8, WOW! Feel back in love with my watch! I didn't realize how much I missed it and how much it did for me. I like the style, fit, layout, the easy to scroll and find all my apps, and the options to turn on/off specific apps/programs. Sorry, but I'm not a fan of AI or Gemini or Bixby and I want the option to NOT use them and turn them off. I don't like being forced or pressured to use them so when the watch8 allowed me me that option, I loved it more! Thank you!

                              The Galaxy 8 watch have great info for my daily activities. While suffering from a heart condition, I am able to monitor my BP constantly and my ECG my BPM. Very helpful in maintaining my health. My weekly exercise regime is also monitored. Most of the apps I have on my Samsung Galaxy S25 phone are paired to my watch 8. Let's me answer phone calls, make calls weather it's nirmal calls or emergency calls. I can see text messages and respond long with emails. A great piece of equipment do have attached to your wrist. Love the various watch faces to choose from. Never have to charge prior to 48hrs ir longer which is great. Love it. A life saver.

                              First thing, this watch is solid with just adding a screen protector. I wear it everyday, my work is rough and my play is just the same. It's not often I'm surprised at the durability of things, especially these days. All the extra stuff is top notch, from being pared with my work phone, step counter, stress levels and every other health data you can think of. It comes with galaxy ai built in which quickly answers any questions you have. I wasn't hesitant at first as I'm an ol classic watch kinda guy, but with the multiple face and band options, it literally becomes multiple watches in one. Go get ya one if you've been thinking about it.

                              Love this watch! I've hesitated to get a smart watch, since I've loved my small regular watch so much, but I decided it was time to join modern society. I got this three weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it. I love how it works seamlessly with my phone, and I love all the apps and functions it has. I got it specifically to monitor my heart rate while I'm running to help me get in shape in a more healthy way, and it's worked flawlessly. I've set up my run with a goal minutes/mile and a goal for my HR zones, and it makes it so easy. My runs are already improving because I'm aware of my effort level and I'm working out at the right intensity.
                              I recommended this product.

                              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.
                              I recommended this product.

                              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

                              Haven't had any major issues since I got the watch8. The battery life is good enough (although my only comparison is my previous watch4), but I don't keep the screen on all the time and I keep all the background apps closed. The battery lasts a couple days if I'm using it to track my workouts, and longer if not. I wear it to sleep as well. It does charge much faster than my previous one. I don't really use it's Galaxy AI, so I can't attest to it's accuracy. My one complaint so far: I bought the watch to upgrade and try out the running coach. Unfortunately, it's not meant to be used on a treadmill. Hopefully that's something that can be updated!

                              I purchased my watch just over 2 weeks ago after delayed hesitation over having the pixel so many years and am so so so happy I did this. Not only do i already have the samsung phone now this is the perfect companion as it includes AI that helps me clarify so much information. I love the watch faces and the complications as we have so many options including downloading from the plastered. I am still adjusting to the battery and learning what I like the best about it but so far the sleep is great when incorporating with other apps in the playstore as well as the samsung health app. It's the best decision I made and know it will only get better.

                              Just received the watch; I am in the process of acclimatizing myself with it features. MY Prior watch environment was Garmin, where I utilized there features to maximize to run faster and farther for many years. 85 years and vatious infirmaries, have shfited my focus to obtaining insight into how best can I can select and maximize activities that enhance duration and quality of life. With the assistance of AI to analyze my personal status and my objectives, the Galaxy 8 was ranked as the smart watch with the capanilities most suited fo my personal cirmustances. As stated above, I am, just, now beginning the journey towards realization of my goals.

                              I recently went all in, back to android. While the other brand's watch worked fine, I never enjoyed the look of it. The round design of the Galaxy 8 is very nice. I love how Samsung doesn't over hype features, they just add them! Like here, here's this awesome feature for you to discover! You're welcome! I thought the double pinch feature added to the other brand's newer watch looked so cool, turns out, it is! That's just one of the fun things that I discovered the Galaxy 8 is capable of. The wearable app is great, and easy to navigate. I love the health monitoring features, as I'm a little older. I would definitely recommend the Galaxy products.

                              I had an older Galaxy watch for sometime. I recently purchased the Galaxy 8 because I am working on my fitness and nutrition. This watch delivers everything I need. Not only does it offer the fitness app with various exercises but it also offers additional health features, such as sleep apnea monitor, blood oxygen levels, AGEs Antioxidant levels and more! If you need a good watch to monitor to health and fitness this is it. While it doesn't diagnose any condition, (always see your doctor for diagnosis of any health issues), it can help to alert you to changes or differences with monitoring using the various features it offers a consumer! Love it!

                              I enjoy most of the features on my galaxy watch. Overall, it works well and is good for what I need. I like that I can silence my alarms on my watch and answer calls. I use the galaxy AI feature fairly often. The biggest drawback that i've found is that I might get a day and a half of battery life out of it.Sometimes less, it definitely leaves a lot to be desired. Usually, it's right when I'm about to go to sleep, or when i'm trying to do something with it that it needs to charge. I don't really do that much with it throughout the day. The face is set so that I have to tap it to wake it up, but it still is not great for longevity and battery life.

                              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.
                              I recommended this product.

                              The Galaxy Watch 8 has elevated my daily routine. Galaxy AI provides personalized guidance for sleep, stress, and workouts, making it more than just a watch—it’s a coach and assistant on my wrist. I rely on it during exercise for precise tracking, at work to manage notifications discreetly, and at night for sleep insights. The sleek design is comfortable all day, and the vibrant display is easy to read even in bright sunlight. Notifications sync instantly, and the battery is reliable for long days. It’s a perfect balance of technology, health, and style. For anyone wanting a powerful wearable that fits every part of life, this is the one to choose.

                              I absolutely love my Galaxy Watch 8! It’s been such a game‑changer. The Galaxy AI features make it feel super smart and personalized - like it actually learns my habits. I get a daily energy score that helps motivate healthier habits. My most-used features are the text messaging and call features - they make it so easy to stay connected anywhere, even when my phone is in my purse or the other room. I also love the sleep and exercise tracking - they are super accurate and motivating. I actually look forward to checking my stats every day! Honestly, this watch is the perfect mix of tech, fitness, and style -I couldn’t be happier with it.

                              I bought this watch to use features such as heart rate BPM and checking on sleep apnea .I still can't get sleep apnea to work even though I've got the watch on super tight and the phone plugged in .I've had it over a month and I still can't figure out how to do almost everything .very confusing for a first time user of Smartwatch maybe I should have got a cheaper one. I also have to charge the battery once a day to keep up with it .the display also won't print big enough letters so I can read it without cheaters .if there was a way you could show me how to use these features correctly it would greatly be appreciated signed disappointed

                              Okay, so I found out YESTERDAY that you can literally text Galaxy AI and it’ll handle stuff for you — and it’s so smooth I can’t believe it. I asked it to pull up a doc I was editing on my laptop, set a reminder on my watch, and find a show on my TV. No extra steps. I’ve slowly built out my whole Samsung lineup over the years: Galaxy Tab for work, Galaxy Book for everything else, Buds for calls, Smart TV + soundbar for movie nights, and my Galaxy Watch that I basically live in. With Galaxy AI now in the mix, it feels like all my gear finally has one brain. Samsung, you’ve outdone yourselves. This is the kind of efficiency I didn’t know I needed.

                              This is a great watch! It works smoothly. I use it daily at work, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. I use it while I take my dog for walks, and I depend it on it to tell me how far we've walked. The only downside so far is the battery, for me. I bought it because I have a tendency to let my phone die. I work at the hospital, so I'm on call sometimes. That means, I can't let my phone die obviously. It's pretty annoying when the watch it almost dead before the end of my day. My old watch went days without being charged. Other than the batter life, I love this watch. I also love the new snap design to change out watch bands compared to the old.way

                              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.
                              I recommended this product.

                              It's not always accurate for step counting and heart rate. I live in Big city and do my errands on foot and some weekends the step count is less than half of other weekends when I walk all the same routes. Heart rate is something else that's sometimes off, I have a heart defect so my cardiologist wants me to have a smart watch to keep an eye on my heart rate because I have spells where I'm beating too fast for no reason or beating to slow so I do an ecg which is much different than the displayed rate on the watch face. Haven't used any ai functionality yet, I'm a bit old fashion not opposed to new tech, but don't always feel a need to jump on it.

                              The watch 8 had some amazing features that I have incorporated into my daily life. Particularly the Health App, it has allowed me a convenient way to track my progress in weight loss, blood pressure control and sleep schedules. Working in emergency services, it is sometimes difficult to keep those things in mind. Using the features iv the watch 8 and tying it in with my z-fold 6, I have everything in one place. Using the Galaxy AI feature has also been useful in helping me stay on track with my studies at work, specifically medical studies. It can help answer questions and even offer up quizzes to help keep me sharp in the job.

                              Each year I upgrade my watch to the next model and this year was no different. I read the reviews that said basically the 8 was the same as the 7 with just a new display that closer resembles the apple watch but I feel this is wrong. Yes the display is shaped differently but it makes the watch face clearer. I use my watch primarily for workout tracking, sleep tracking and occasionally calls and text. The accuracy of the workouts is better and the breakdown of the information gathered is better. My sleep has been more accurately measured. I have not used the new Galaxy AI features yet but I anticipate doing so in the next week.

                              Wow this Galaxy 8 does way more things than we ever could imagine. My two adult children can't believe the features. They both have always used Apple products, but not anymore. My son who's a police officer says the features are very important in his line of work. And my daughter the sceptic social worker says she couldn't believe the quickness, the clarity or the light weight of the Galaxy 8. My husband can not stand any kind of jewelry not even his wedding ring, but guess what? He's considering the Galaxy 8. Now this will be short of a miracle. I thought. But he asked me how fast could he get one. Wow, you guys have done a great job with the Galaxy 8.

                              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 recommended this product.

Samsung has added additional features to the watch 8 functionality, and ease of use. I love using the health benefits that watch offers paired with Samsung health, makes it so much easier when I don't have my Samsung Z fold 7 near by. The watch 8 is also an amazing watch thst feels comfortable to wear to sleep to track sleep patterns. An amazing accessory to my other Samsung devices.

                              Today is my 3rd day with my new watch. I got the 40mm in silver with the small/medium sport strap in mint. The face is plenty large for my wrist, strap is roomy enough. Cons: strap was very difficult to clip on! Battery dies quickly! I'd really like more watch faces that are more feminine, most seem very masculine. I'd love to be able to use my phone screen saver for my clock face. Pros: I'm loving the health monitoring, even an ekg and sleep apnea detector. I love the sleep monitor. Nice to be able to check my notifications from my watch. Fairly comfortable to wear. I haven't worn a watch steady so it's new. Pros:
                              I recommended this product.

                              I've never had a smartwatch before and just wanted a fitness tracker. But the Galaxy watch is super fun to customize and set up. It paired without issue for my Note 10+. Using the watch face to navigate is very easy too. The voice recognition works well and I haven't had any issues. There's even a tiny keyboard on screen if you want to try and type with that. So far I have Google keep and use the Google assistant to add things to my various list via voice commands. Spotify synced without issue too. My watch is becoming a perfect companion to my phone and personal assistant. I'll have to see how the Galaxy AI works with the watch.

                              I bought this to replace my very old Fitbit. While the screen of the new watch can do fancy things, the battery life isn't even half of what my extremely old Fitbit was. I've taken off most of the programs that track various things and always have the battery saver on, but it only lasts for a few days. What is the point of having access to the different programs if running them is going to kill the battery in a day? Also the extremely expensive band I got with it gave me an awful rash on my wrist that still hasn't gone away even though I've bought off-brand ones and have changed arms. I wish I could send it back, but I'm probably over the return time.

                              A fundamental use case for a multiple hundreds dollars smart watch is as a fitness/workout tracker. The problem with this watch is if you are working out and look away for a period of time (Max setting is 2 minutes!), it defaults back to the watch face. So, when I'm on a bike ride and want to check my heart rate, I have to swipe left twice, find the cycle app button and press it. Seems like a safety risk. Unfortunately, after spending hours pouring through forums and videos attempting to find a configuration that works to set the 'show last app' limit to more than 2 minutes, though some videos show a 1 hour option. This watch will be returned.

                              Howdy Bikedoug, Thanks for taking the opportunity to contact us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your detailed feedback provides valuable insights that will assist us with improving our product line. The active workout app must have permission to display notifications to stay on top of your watch face. Please open the Galaxy Wearable app. Navigate to Open the Galaxy Wearable app. Then, go to Watch settings > Notifications > App notifications. Locate Samsung Health in the list and make sure the switch is turned ON. These actions will prevent the workout screen from disappearing. Also, check "Show Last App" setting in the wearable app to ensure it is not set to "Off". To do this, Open the Galaxy Wearable app and Go to Watch settings > Display > Show last app. Set it to the maximum available time. Lastly, for maximum visibility while cycling, you can set the watch to never turn off during a workout. Here's how: On your watch: Start the Cycling workout. Swipe right to access the settings for that specific workout. Then, scroll down to Display and turn on Always On Display. Please be aware that this action will increase your battery consumption. You can also get back to your workout without swiping. Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Double press home key. Select Workout or "Show last app". During your ride, you can double-click the home button to instantly bring the workout screen back. For your convenience, I have included some resources for your review. Let us know if you have any questions or if you would like further assistance afterward by reaching out to Samsung Support. We're always happy to listen and work toward a better experience for our customers.

                              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.
                              I recommended this product.

                              This Galaxy 8 watch has been a frustrating, defective disappoint from unboxing. The battery will not keep a charge, I get 5-6 hrs of use after a full charge, it will not stay connected or synced with my Samsung S23 Ultra, etc. Because of this it's near impossible to use the Health app which is what I have this watch for. The Galaxy 8 has had one issue after another and I would like to get a refund or replacement for this defective unit. I had no issues with my old Galaxy 4 watch except for the battery not lasting, but it lasted far longer than my 8! Even when I think it's chatted, connected to my phone, etc, it rarely records sleep, heart rate, not anything!

                              Over the last year I have placed a lot of effort into developing healthy habits and routines. The seamless connectivity that my Watch8 provides me to such apps as Samsung Health has been instrumental in helping me keeping top of mind awareness on so many health related matters in a very positive way. Synching that with Galaxy AI made that process even more eye opening to discovering best practices that have helped me explore different health paths to explore. Galaxy I shared new training programs that were easy to follow at home and at my own pace. At times it feels like you have your own personal trainer working for you 24/7.

                              I bought this watch, originally, just to check texts. Now I use it to help keep track of work meeting, as well as keeping connected to my team. Make sure you read the tutorials - it blew my socks off with how to use so many features I didn't even know I had!! Galaxy AI had been so helpful in seeing things organized and keeping me on track. I also use it to track my steps, and every other exercise i do. And can we talk about the sleep feature?! It adjusts to your schedule, and starts making suggestions before bed. In the morning, you'll get a synopsis of how well you slept, and in each stage of sleep. Simply put : BUY IT!! You won't regret it for a minute!!

                              This watch is a perfect match with my S25+. I love the design. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is thin, light, and feels good to wear. Its screen is very bright, so you can see it clearly outside. It has many health tools like sleep tracking, running help and it reminds me everytime that I have to stay active or that I have been staying in a place for too long The battery lasts about one day and takes a while to charge. Overall, it’s a nice smartwatch with smart features, but the battery is just okay. I wish it could lasts longer so I don't have to charge it every night. But still it looks so good on my hand. Always a samsung fan.

                              I literally just got my samsung watch 8 40mm about 2 weeks ago. Im still in the process of learning how to use my watch. So far it is however very user friendly. I am horrible with technology and electronics! But this watch like my samsung 25 ultra phone have features that help you to use your watch. Im learning new stuff daily on my watch. One of the things I really enjoy is all the cool health stuff it has on it. You can even do an EKG! Like what?!? This is a little private nurse on your wrist. Love the fact I can track so many things with my health and share with my doctor. By far the watch has paid for its self because it has given me some peice of mind.

                              This watch is a nice upgrade from my S3 classic i had for years. I didn't need or want a watch needing a network(i know i don't need to set up the network but you are still paying for the tech) so oi decided on this 8 wifi- bluetooth. It's slimmer and lighter on the wrist, weighs nothing really. The apps that weren't available with the old classic are back and so far i love this watch. the only thing that i had to get use to was the lack of a turn dial on the face, it's more like swiping a tablet. I am glad to say i got use to it rather quickly. If you want a new Galaxy watch but don't want to pay for tech you're never going to use this is a great option.

                              I haven't worn a watch in several years. I got this to measure my steps to be able to turn it into my insurance for a discount. I got the watch and it auto connected to my health insurance app and it works great. It has a built in compass, which i think is awesome. It let's you choose the face or you can customize it. It works with my samsung S24+ phone. When I get a text, my watch will vibrate to let me know. Normally in my job you can't hear your phone make any noise and if I don't have it in a certain pocket I can't tell that it vibrates, but the watch will to let me know. It is great. It tell me the outside temperature, the time and date and battery life.

                              This is my very first smart watch and I don't know how I went without one for so many years. I was worried that this would make me feel tethered to my phone but I don't at all. I use Samsung health now and love keeping track of my stats. I also really love the sleep mode where I can keep track of sleep - and even record actual snoring and my heart rate at night. I can even use it to pick up a call if I'm not near my phone. But the best feature - find my phone! That has saved me so much time when I set my phone down and can't remember where especially because my phone is usually on silent so calling it to find it is pointless. My husband thanks you for that!

                              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.

                              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

                              So lets go ahead and say that this is by far the best watch I have ever had. I love how you can personalize the watch face. I currently have it rotating with pictures of my dog. This watch is also a life saver, literally. It can detect if you have sleep apnea, heart issue's or different health concerns that you need to go and see a Dr for. That is because it uses AI capabilities to. I also love the health features built in to the watch. I take my dog for several walks a day and I forget to set the exercise feature and it does it for me. Listen, this watch is AMAZING!!! Its worth every penny and you will not be disappointed at all. Just go buy the darn thing.

                              Going from the galaxy watch 7 to the galaxy watch 8 has been an unbelievable upgrade! UI8 on a watch is mind blowing as I've been in beta on my s25 ultra for awhile now. The galaxy AI health feature updates are incredible to say the least and have helped me keep motivated and stay on top of my stats. The sleek light weight design is top notch and I no longer even notice I'm wearing my watch ever. I was not able to sleep with my watch prior to this model now it's a must. I'm blown away with the amount of customizations on this model and the beautiful design. The battery lasts forever and charges super fast. Thanks for another beautifully crafted device Samsung!

                              My initial experience with the new Galaxy Watch8 has been exceptional! From unboxing to setting up and connection to my new Galaxy 25 Ultra, the watch has exceeded my expectations. As a smartwatch user of many brands over the years, the Watch8 provides the functions needed and outperforms my previous watches in many ways: it has an easier interface, the settings and management of options available via watch or Samsung Wear app are outstanding, and it is easily customizable for smooth operation and connection to my phone. I haven't had the chance to use the Galaxy AI yet, but I certainly will! I love that I can answer calls, listen to music and so much more!

                              Lo primero que notas al ponerte el Samsung Galaxy Watch8 de 40 mm es que está diseñado con mimo. El marco de aluminio pulido le da un aspecto elegante, moderno y muy ligero. Se siente sólido pero cómodo, y es tan fino que no molesta ni durmiendo ni entrenando, algo que no siempre se puede decir en esta gama. Samsung ha apostado por líneas más suaves, un perfil más redondeado y un diseño que sienta bien tanto en muñecas pequeñas como medianas. Y lo mejor es que no sacrifica robustez: cuenta con certificación IP68, resistencia al agua 5ATM y militar MIL-STD-810H, lo que lo convierte en un reloj preparado para el uso diario, el deporte intenso y hasta la aventura

                              I love everything about Samsung products, I have been using them for years. I have had tvs, my refrigerator, washer and dryer, and plenty of mobile devices. It started with the T800 family. I have always enjoyed my Samsung devices, unfortunately the appliances haven't always been the best, but my phones and watches have never let me down. I highly recommend getting a Samsung watch because they are durable, the battery last well, and the water resistance are top tier. I have gone in many of waters with my watch (because I forgot I was wearing it) and hit the button to remove the water and wipe it off and its as good as new.

                              I really appreciate the new upgrades to the features. The timer showing on the clock face make all the difference because I used that at work to time certain events this way I can see everything at a glance. The health app has kinds of new things to check and I find myself religiously using them to actually improve my own sleep and look forward to seeing how I'm doing. The tiles upgrade is extremely useful as now I can group things together into categories making them alot more convenient. The watch itself is way more comfortable on my wrist. It sets flatter and I love the new look. Overall I'm very happy as the upgrade from my watch 6 is better in every aspect!

                              I like the 25 Ultra. I switched from a different phone brand and it was a very easy and pleasant transition. I love Samsung TV, i use it all the time since i don't currently have any streaming subscriptions. I use Galaxy AI here and there, still trying to carefully navigate how to use it. My only gripe about the phone is the battery. Since day 1 it has only lasted about 17 hours a day. And it's getting progressively worse after only 5 months of use. These phones are way too expensive and known to be used to the extent of a lifeline for many consumers, for the batteries to be so subpar and not be able to handle heavy usage.

                              Upgraded from the Watch7. Design style isn't as good as the Watch7. I feel like I constantly have dust and dead skin cells on the square area below the watch face. Fit is nice and I like that the band release is on the device now vs the band itself. I do still dislike that the 40mm variant has a smaller battery. It makes sense, but the battery already struggles after the 12-month marker. Galaxy AI is nice to have baked into the watch. I like asking questions while on the fly for a simple answer. Anything requiring more detail just means I actually unlock my phone and search. Fitness tracking seems as accurate as the Watch7. Overall, I'm content with my purchase.

                              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

                              I love that I can use the watch as a phone to talk or text without actually using my phone. The feature I use the most on the watch is Samsung Health. I like that it keeps track of my steps throughout the day. I am able to track my heart rate and blood pressure because those problems run through my family. I also like that the watch can monitor how I sleep. I do not get much sleep through the night so the watch helps to track what may be the reason. I also like the feature of being able to listen to my music through my watch while I am doing stuff around the house. All in all the watch has been a great addition to my phone and my life. I would recommend it to anyone.

                              I was going to wait to buy another Galaxy watch until Samsung came out with a blood pressure feature for the USA or a blood glucose feature. I have purchased every Galaxy watch since Galaxy Watch4 and decided to not wait, so I went ahead and purchased Galaxy Watch8. I am very glad I did. It is the most comfortable Galaxy watch I have had and made the purchase worth it. The main reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I get a rash under the sensors when I wear it day and night for several days, despite frequent rinsing with water. This is probably just my own skin sensitivity, so I limit wearing it to workout sessions and for sleeping to get the health features.

                              I have this connected with my Samsung 24. Even though I pay for it to have it s own service I am not able to interchangeably use it with my phone I can read a message and reply but I find it difficult. I do talk to text and it often gets it wrong. Also the battery life isn't compatible with my life style. So part of the reason I wanted it was for it to monitor my health particularly at night. So that means I'm not using it during the day everyday. I will say that it does have an incredibly fast charging time. I just have to remember to do it in the morning or I won't have it for the day. If it is compatible with Galaxy AI I haven't figured out what benefits that is.

                              1. Fast 2. Cool design 3. Light The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is a triumph of design, functionality, and innovation. It caters to users who demand more from their wearable—whether that’s advanced health tracking, AI-powered coaching, or a premium aesthetic. While the price tag and strap limitations may deter some, the overall experience justifies the investment. For Android users—especially those within Samsung’s ecosystem—the Watch 8 Classic is arguably the best smartwatch available in 2025. It’s not just a tool; it’s a companion that supports your health, enhances your productivity, and complements your style.

                              I really do like my Galaxy watch 8. I enjoy using my watch when my phone is set down somewhere in the house. I can message others and receive messages. I haven't yet discovered how Galaxy AI works or benefits the usage of my watch but I plan on doing research for that so I can figure that out cuz that would be a very useful thing to have on my watch. One complaint I do have is if someone sends me a message I can't hit reply and do a voice to text message. But I can do a voice to text message if I start a conversation. Which is not what I'm used to with my watch I used to have with another company. Overall I find my watch very useful and I depend on it for many things.

                              I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm LTE) and I really like it. It’s slim, light, and feels great on my wrist. It’s more comfortable than other smartwatches I’ve tried and fits under my sleeves with no problem. The screen is bright and clear, so checking messages and notifications is easy. The touch bezel is smooth to use and doesn’t make the watch bulky. The watch face looks clean and modern. I like the health features—heart rate and workout tracking are very accurate. The new Galaxy AI also makes it simple to manage notifications and keep track of my fitness. Overall, this is my favorite smartwatch so far. It’s easy, comfortable, and works really well.
                              I recommended this product.

                              I loved the watch, I'm very happy with it. It's ultra comfortable to wear all day, even while sleeping. I previously had the Galaxy Watch 5 and sometimes I had to take it off to sleep because it felt a bit uncomfortable and made my wrists tingle, but this band design, the way it fits my arm, is perfectly comfortable. The battery life is pretty good.The band itself, however, is quite disappointing; after about 20 days of use, I had to replace it because it was all stained. It looked dirty, but they were just stains, as it remained the same even after washing. But aside from the band issue, I give the watch a 10/10.

                              We bought these watches to help reduce the amount of times we need to pick up our phones and to monitor health. The first couple weeks of wearing them it was the opposite. After wearing them for some time now, I'll say these things: Cons: They need to be charged daily if you use all the health features. Having troubles getting it set up to follow my rules at certain times of the day. Pros: They do help with staying on task. Awesome! The health monitors are so helpful. Thanks! Very customizable. Fits great on the wrist. Galaxy AI is helpful. Still trying to figure out which AI assistant is best for my lifestyle.

                              Got this to track my kid bc A) It was free with my phone plan, B) Kid-specific watches all had some drawback C) They advertised the new parental controls. "School time" shuts off games and ... maybe other things? but it doesn't shut off texting or calling, which defeats the purpose in large part. Also you can't put time limits on any apps, and you can't remove access to apps without fully deleting. All the things I was hoping for, the watch does not support. I'm hopeful it's bc parental controls are new and they're coming. But in the meantime, I'm disappointed. Aside from that it's a solid watch - will be even better if the battery will ever last longer than about a day.

                              I have had at least 5 diffrent samsung watches. This by far is the most i have used one. First time I have kept a watch on while sleeping to track my sleep but I have been with this watch. Main reason I can now is due to long battery life. I have already been getting more sleep since I have been tracking and that is the only thing I have done. Just the fact of tracking my sleep and seeing how many hours I actually get nightly, made me realize how little sleep I have been getting and I have already done better. Next I will try some of the watches suggestions to get more sleep!! Love this watch. The ring is next.

                              Though the Galaxy AI is pretty cool. This watch just does not fill the void left from leaving my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. I have only a few issues with the Galaxy Watch 8 and they all have to do with design. For one this screen is so small. Second this Watch band is the worst thing I have ever worn. It is too small and we'll does not allow you to use the official Samsung triple charger. You know the one with the spot for your phone, Galaxy buds, and watch. Yeah well the Watch due to the poorly designed band will not lay flat enough to make contact enough to charge. I really feel like I have taken a step backwards.

                              I had the Galaxy Watch 7 44m and decided to upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 8 44m . I didn't know how much the Galaxy AI was going to make a huge difference in my day to day life until mine got delivered. I use it to set schedules for when I want to prep meals, smoothies, juices, setup self-care days, workouts, and reminders for brunch dates with friends. Not having to type my schedules and reminders make life a lot easier. I left my house and forgot to turn off my lights but thankfully I was able to ask Galaxy AI on my Galaxy Watch 8 to do it and it worked. Both watches are amazing but if you have a schedule that can be hectic the Galaxy Watch 8 definitely is the way to go.

                              He pasado del Galaxy Watch 4 al Watch 8 y el cambio se nota muchísimo. La pantalla es simplemente espectacular, se ve increíble incluso a plena luz del día. La batería me está durando casi dos días completos, lo cual es una mejora notable respecto a modelos anteriores. Además, me gusta mucho más el diseño del modelo no Classic, lo veo más moderno, ligero y cómodo para el día a día. En general, muy satisfecho con el salto de calidad y rendimiento. ¡Recomendado totalmente!

                              I absolutely love my Galaxy buds. I love their sound quality and absolutely love the noise canceling feature. I'm always moving and always doing something and I love the fact that I can vacuum and take care of business and people on the phone don't hear everything else that's going on in the background. My only complaint that I have is just simply keeping them in my ear. If I sweat too much or move to much my butts do fall out and it's a simple Readjustment but I would like them to fit better to stay in my ear. The affordability of the buds is nice and the connectivity even when I'm using my Galaxy AI they pick up quickly on the microphone and connect easily to my devices.

                              One of the things I really enjoyed so far about this watch is being able to use the Gemini Ai. I have never really used as much before I got to watch, but for some reason having it on my wrist made me more interested. In addition I love how snappy the movement is on the watch aid. The tiles have a better look than my previous watch five. I really think that the biometrics on the Watch 8 give more accurate readings. I wasn't a fan of having to go to a different style of band attachment, but I found that I really like this style. I would highly recommend this watched it anyone that's looking for a new smartwatch.

                              This Galaxy Watch8 is always coming up with updates that makes the watch even better.I love the Galaxy AI feature! It aids in my workout,It helps with my tasks. It is a great device for health/ wellness and has so many features I'm still discovering. The health features are my favorite the sleep guidance, the exercise breakdowns of cardio, even sweat loss. I use it for Blood Pressure, ECG, and it continually adding new features. I really do love this watch. I try to use it to us fullest potential, and that is no easy task (just kidding) because there is so much to discover. I can't wait til my next update..

                              An abundance of features. I use it for health management primarily. I find it very rich with health measuring and monitoring capabilities. My biggest gripe is the database for searching food items. It needs lots of improvements. It doesn’t have as many food items as one would expect. And its search algorithm is horrible. If you don't type a food name exactly as they have it listed in the database, you'll never find it. Overall the watch is very useful and easy to operate. Samsung should study the stats on how well their Galaxy Watch products test compared to other wearable devices. Samsung falls behind in performance when compared to 2 other manufacturers' wearable devices.
                              I recommended this product.

                              The Galaxy Watch 8 is a fantastic upgrade from the Watch 6, primarily due to the integrated AI features like Gemini and the superior display. The new, brighter screen (up to 3,000 nits) is noticeably clearer and more vibrant than my previous model. Utilizing the Gemini AI assistant (accessible with a voice command like "Hey Google") has streamlined my daily tasks, allowing for complex, multi-step actions right from my wrist, truly acting as an indispensable smart companion. The overall performance is also significantly faster thanks to the new Exynos W1000 processor, making the whole experience much more fluid.

                              I am incredibly impressed with the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8. The redesign is a huge improvement—it's thinner, lighter, and the new display is so bright I can easily read it even in direct sunlight. The new health tracking features, like "Vascular Load" and "Antioxidant Index," offer valuable insights, and the personalized "Running Coach" has made my workouts more effective. The integration of Google Gemini is a standout feature, making the on-wrist assistant incredibly powerful and convenient for daily tasks. While the battery life isn't a massive leap forward, it's a solid improvement, and the watch's comfort and advanced features make it an essential part of my routine.

                              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 recommended this product.

Overall, the Galaxy Watch 8 is stylish, fast, and packed with useful features—one of the best smartwatches you can buy right now.

                              Was looking to upgrade from my previous watch but wasn't sure which brand to go with. After multiple searches to various online sites, I settled on my local store. Drove down, walked in and was instantly drawn to the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. The grey colour goes with my bracelets and fits my wrist perfectly. Set up was extremely easy, and the strap material is comfy and doesn't cause me to sweat leaving a rash like others do. Can be added to my mobile phone plan via an esim, but I decided not to do that. Heaps of watch faces available on the app, and battery lasts ages. Very impressed with my Watch8 purchase!!

                              I use my watch to help reduce my phone usage and to track my sleep and fitness. In only a few days, I've noticed such a difference already. When walking, the Galaxy AI tracks my workout immediately. Since I can see my messages on the watch, it keeps me from always having my phone in my hand and being tempted to doomscroll. The volume on the watch is perfect! I don't even need my phone for Spotify!! I also love the reminders to get up and move or stretch. I sit for long periods of time due to being at a desk job, so it's nice to have a reminder. This watch has been a blessing! Ps. I LOVE THE CUSTOMIZATION

                              I have previously been unwilling to pay some of the outrageous prices I have seen for smart watches. We have been using the Samsun Fit version prior to this. I have been pleased with this new Watch8. Would prefer better battery life but have not had it in use long enough to make a final determination on that. I really liked the simplicity of the Samsung "FIT" version and price, but I hope that this will be a step up. For hard core work out folks a more full featured watch is called for. My objective is excellent sleep tracking and steps. At 77 not so much. The FITBIT was excellent for our needs until it was bought by Google which took its capability for their pixel watch.
                              I recommended this product.

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

                              Nunca he estado mas contenta con mi compra. Estaba entre este y el ultra, pero por tamaño ya que tengo muñeca muy pequeña, escogi este. Trae el cargador y se carga muy rapido. Tiene muchas funciones, pero lo de escuchar musica, leer los wasaps, etc sin el telefono en la mano esta genial. Cuando haces una ruta te va indicando todo, lo que llevas andado, las calorias quemadas, las pulsaciones..... Recomiendo al 100% comprarle no te arrepentiras.

                              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 recommended this product.

                              I am currently dealing with multiple health issues some still being diagnosed. Memory is one issue and dizziness. Using the Gslaxy AI along with the numerous features it has helped me relay good information to all my doctor's. Not to mention it pulled all my medical records so I don't need to go into my health provider app now. I use it for my walks.I use it for reminders.I use it for just about everything. Love the new Mindfullness app they are Beta testing. Huge help along with my therapist and my mental well being as well. Honestly, it does about everything except for your laundry and dishes. Lol

                              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.
                              I recommended this product.

                              I absolutely love my Samsung Galaxy Watch 8! The sleek design feels lightweight on my wrist but still looks premium. The display is bright, sharp, and easy to read even in sunlight. I really appreciate the health features—tracking my sleep, heart rate, and steps has kept me more mindful of my daily habits. The battery life is impressive and charges quickly, which is a huge plus. I also enjoy how seamlessly it connects to my phone, letting me check messages and notifications without constantly pulling my phone out. It’s stylish, practical, and packed with features that really fit into my lifestyle. Highly recommend for anyone looking for both functionality and style in a smartwatch!

                              The watch has a very stylish appearance compared to other smart watches, The first impression is positive because of that. It also has about any feature you could want on a watch, and then some. The only negative so far is a big one, battery life! There's no reason a tech company as big as Samsung, can't come up with a better battery. Naturally, as you load the watch with features that the watch is capable of, the battery life becomes even more of a problem. If you load the features the average person would want on a watch, you are lucky to get two days of use, so you spend a great deal of time charging instead of wearing. Other than battery life, I'm very satisfied with the watch 8.

                              I have sat out the smart watch craze for many years, but was enticed by the price offered by Samsung on the Watch8. After roughly 6 weeks of use here's my assessment. As a watch it is functional and I like the fact you change the watch face to match the occasion or mood. Integration with my Galaxy S24 has been a good experience. No issues with set up or connectivity. I have a small wrist, so the 40MM size and the thin profile work well for wear. The heath tracker seems less calibrated than models specifically geared for that purpose. The band size options are limited. The medium size is a bit long for me and is not adjustable. All in all a good purchase that I would make again.
                              I recommended this product.

                              First, the watch looks super-premium and stands out in the smartwatch crowd. The squircle shape reminds me of classic brands like Mido and Bell & Ross. Second, there are tons of health and lifestyle monitoring options, but none of them are in-your-face. There is a strong AI presence managing all of it behind the scenes. So we get intelligence instead of raw data. Third is battery life, which in my mind could have been better. It barely lasts me a day. But its probably contributed to a lighter watch, which brings me my last point: Fourth, its hands down the most comfortable smartwatch I have worn.

                              I love the Galaxy watch a lot I use it everyday but I find it challenging because the battery drains so quickly I have tried everything to do the durability is okay I dropped my watch accidentally on my concrete ramp in the lift to decent little dents in the titanium the watch band around the Buckle is ripped so it makes it challenging to put on and the watch bands are just so expensive the ergonomics are pretty good I just don't like how I don't get notifications like I should the interface is okay I just really feel like it's pointless to have the screen raised like it is because I crack my screen protector every time I put it on it doesn't even last a week because of the race screen

                              The Galaxy watch 8 , in my opinion is a great update to the Galaxy Watch7. Having Galaxy AI directly on device with gemini is much better than using bixby. The finish on the body looks much more like brushed aluminum than the previous model that looked more like painted plastic. The new band connection is very fast and convenient. I wish the connection was the same size as the watch ultra's however since I own both and would nice to not have to buy two sets bands for both watches. The only gripes I have with the watch8 are the speaker and the haptic. Both are weak. I've missed notification because the speaker just wasn't loud enough. All the health/sleep tracking info is very accurate.

                              It's ok. I had high hopes but the watch is average at best. Hindsight says I should have gone a different route but I own it so I'll keep it for a while. Battery is a bummer, barely makes it through an entire day. The setup was a complete joke, nothing worked right out of the box. A ton of time spent trying to get the watch working and synced. Weather still doesn't work after hours of screwing around with it, trying fixes from Reddit and YouTube, etc, etc. Things like this should work without issue and setup should not take hours but rather minutes. Not impressed. This setup experience completely soured the purchase. If you're looking for a smartwatch, look elsewhere or save your money.
