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.

Battery
Battery life is terrible also the strap is made for children so had to buy another strap
Faddy
Overall its an okay watch, a bit pricey
I like the watch, the strap isn't the biggest, the battery needs charging daily but if you out it in battery saver it lasts much longer. You need a couple of different apps to use all functions such as ecg and then sleep etc which is a bit of a pain, unless I've missed something. Its good that it has water resistance, I went swimming with it on and it was fine.

Thanks for this question, Manfer. Your video sound will stay on your phone (or earbuds if connected). The Galaxy Watch8 wonāt play your phoneās media audio by default, and it will use your phone and connected audio devices first. We hope this helps.
This version of the Galaxy Watch8 comes with built-in Wi-Fi. However, it still needs to be paired with a compatible Android phone to make the most of its smart/mobile features, as it does not support standalone 4G connectivity. We hope this helps.

Hello there,
Samsung Galaxy Watch8 40mm Smart Watch Graphite
I can advise that the strap on this watch measures 132.5mm. Therefore this will not fit your wrist measurement of 160mm. You would need to upsize.
I hope this information helps. Thanks for using Q&A.
Regards
