Beautiful design!!
Beautiful design, lightweight and comfortable to wear. This is already my third Samsung watch. The only downside is the battery life, but it’s still not a major issue. 😊

Not a Good Experience
I bought this watch and returned it after one week - it took nearly two hours to charge the battery which then lasted barely 24 hours - plus twice I had a warning that the device had overheated and I must suspend charging

Great watch upgrade
Excellent Samsung galaxy watch 8, bought to replace previously Samsung watch 5. Bigger screen is useful. All features pretty similar to last watch which is great. Comfortable, I have 40mm strap as have slim wrists. Connection to my Samsung mobile was straightforward. Up and running. Would recommend it.

Galaxy watch 8
Very easy to set up. Once set up it drains the battery quickly im having to charge it every night. And im not doing anything on watch. I hardly n touch it during the day. I dont play music on it or answer calls ornreply to texts. Therefore its not built tonlast using the purposes its meant for. Also rhe sound quality is poor and is on full and not loud, also display is so small i cant read whats on screens anyway and theyre enlarged. Myn previous watch is a huawai gtpro 2 i wanted to upgrade it but only needed to charge it once week. So genuinely very disappointing

Tracking
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's tracks everything I could ever want to keep track of. Steps, sleep, heartbeat, food, water.
Snufflespf, Liverpool
It is, Caz! The Galaxy Watch 8 requires a smartphone running Android 12.0 or later with at least 1.5GB of RAM. Please note that some features, such as ECG and BP, are only available when connecting the watch to a Galaxy phone. Hope this helps!
