    I bought this to replace my Pixel Watch, but it has been a total disappointment. ​The Trade-In: The valuation is misleading. After sending in my watch, the final credits were so low that I practically gave my old device away for free. ​Performance: The interface is incredibly buggy compared to the smooth experience of the Pixel Watch. The UI feels unfinished and clunky. Save your money and your old tech. This was a huge mistake.

    The watch 8 40mm is a nice size for smaller wrists. All the health features are superior to past watches. The heart monitor and sleep tracking are exceptionally accurate and help you stay healthy. The new antioxidant and vascular load are great additions

    really like all the features — they make my workday so much easier. However, the battery life is disappointing. It doesn’t even last through an 8-hour shift, which is a big downside for me.

    I really love my Galaxy 8 watch I've got it custom configured for a mix of health and sports monitoring activities. Communicates nicely with my Galaxy S24plus. Despite my loving this watch, I'm growing tired of having to charge the battery everyday and a half, you would think at this price, this class of Galaxy watches should last at least 3 to 5 days on a charge.

    The is the most horrible product Samsung has made yet. I have upgraded my watches by trading in my old ones for several years now. I always upgrade to the latest. But this watch 8 is trash. The spring bar (1) from the strap when attached into the lug (2) on the watch's body it doesn't properly lock in place and so the watch keeps coming off when you try to buckle it. I received my watch today and immediately discovered the issue and contacted Samsung within 2 hrs of receiving the watch. I have been on the chat line now for ...

    Good day Lemme, Thanks for sharing your sentiments with us about your recent experience with using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your candor is valued as we improve the functionality and design of our product line. Samsung provides a warranty on our product line for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It is frustrating when your Samsung smart watch strap or band falls off unexpectedly. The good news is this usually only happens if the band or strap is not installed properly, or when wearing the watch improperly, which are both easy to fix. However, the band or strap should be replaced if it's damaged, will not stay attached to your watch, or keeps falling off. Please take a moment to check out, "Samsung smart watch strap or band falls off" to help resolve what you've described to be experiencing with your watch band. Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support afterward if you would like any further assistance with troubleshooting. Thank you for being a steadfast Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Warranty Information smsng.us/Warranty-Info Facebook Messenger smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X Messages https://smsng.us/X-Messages Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Samsung smart watch strap or band falls off https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001062/ Galaxy Watch8 https://www.samsung.com/us/watches/galaxy-watch8/ Product Manuals https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/
