About this product
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 is your personal health coach that works around the clock to boost wellbeing. With AI from Google Gemini and Samsung Health, this 40mm smartwatch offers personalised fitness plans, real-time workout tracking, and an Energy Score that compiles key health data into one number. You'll know when to push or rest. Its thin, lightweight 30g design with cushioned fit means you'll barely notice it, whether tracking a run with built-in GPS or monitoring sleep. Mindfulness and stress management features care for your mind as well as your body.
Track running, cycling, swimming and hiking with ECG monitoring, wrist-based heart rate tracking, and fall detection for peace of mind. The 40mm Super AMOLED touchscreen displays stats clearly, while up to 30 days of battery life means less charging. It's water-resistant, swimproof and dust-resistant for tough workouts. Stay connected with smartphone notifications, music control, and Google Play Store apps, synced via Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, and NFC. Works with Android devices and includes a charger. A 2-year manufacturer's guarantee provides added peace of mind.

Battery
The battery change on this watch is absolutely useless. It last a day. If had had to pay for this I would be well disappointed I have a zepp watch which I've wore for a year now and the charge lasts well over a week it's also monitors health sleep which the samsung does . So I've gone back to my old watch

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
