Product Ratings : 32025-12-11Product Ratings : 3I was assured by people that I did not need a Samsung phone to run a Samsung watch. I also tried to find literature on the net and all I could find was that some countries had blocked the functions I needed, but not mine. Imagine my disappointment when I discover that important functions that I specifically bought the watch for (ECG and vascular load), need a Samsung phone. All that money, for what? Samsung, do better. I don't want one of your phones due to you pushing out updates that fry older phones. It's a scummy practice. Unlock all of the health features on the watch!

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.

Helpful?Originally posted on The InsidersResponse from Samsung:2025-08-07CXThank 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
mattacProduct Ratings : 32025-08-11 StaffordshireProduct Ratings : 3The 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.

daroliliProduct Ratings : 52025-09-02 MusselburghProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 !

Princess TProduct Ratings : 52025-08-05Product Ratings : 5I 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 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.

MihaelaPProduct Ratings : 42025-09-01Product Ratings : 4The 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.

When contacting Samsung for assistance they've been useless so far and more interested in trying to hand out 10% discount vouchers instead of actually fixing the problem. Otherwise it's a good watch with easy setup, reasonable battery life and a good set of watch faces to choose from...if only it did what it was supposed to do, and Samsung support was more focused on fixing the problem.

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

Jmickye971Product Ratings : 42025-08-27 BEDFORDProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Product Ratings : 42026-07-08Product Ratings : 4Bought 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.

StcoProduct Ratings : 52025-09-05Product Ratings : 5I'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 was barely using my first watch and had reservations on how much use I would get out of my new Watch8. But a week later all those doubts are out of my mind! I use the watch daily to track my sleep, measure my BMI every morning, and calculate all my daily fitness objective. The ease that the UI provide to access my music during my runs or cycling has been such a boon! And I can't stop playing with the amount of display customization Samsung has provided for the device. Every event I try out a new watch face, its always switching between casual, business and sports mode regularly! Definately recommend this!

The new Gemini integration works very well, everything is so easy to use and measurements, sleep, steps etc seem very accurate once compared with other smart watches on the market.

Nice variation of watch faces and customisations to really make this watch unique to you and your personality. Overall a really nice watch and have encountered zero problems since my purchase.

Gringo200Product Ratings : 42026-05-19Product Ratings : 4Galaxy Watch8 Watch is excelent quality, as you would expect from Samsung. Ease of buying (on Samsung site), very easy. Discription of item on the site is, again, excelent, apart from one very important thing.... No where that I could see does it mention the fact that the wireless charger cable only conects through usb-c, which means I now have to buy a new charger that will accept usb-c cables! Either that or charge using my phone! Very poor description/comunication on the site. Delivery, perfect. You have the option of selecting a date for delivery, the delivery company keep you up to date via email, couldn't ask for better service. I would give 5 stars apart from the problem with the charging cable

nation888Product Ratings : 32026-01-18Product Ratings : 3I bought the watch8 about six months ago, replacing my watch 5, and found the watch 8 slow. I wanted to use YT music while I work out at the gym and not have my phone. Sitting on the work out bench selecting my work out routine then my YT work out music the YT seems to freeze on a black screen. I always have to fiddle with it to eventually see my play list. Yes I downloaded my playlist. I wanted to use the LTE but my phone carrier Rogers charges are too high. I can't seem to get the BMI to work goes to 99% then seems revert back to the widget. Also keeps missing counts when I'm benching. I have reset the watch and still does the same. For the price I expected better performance. The screen is amazing.

picgoodProduct Ratings : 42025-09-02 LondonProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Watch 8 is beautiful; with its stunning 44mm display, it truly is perfect for someone like me who has big fingers! The feedback from the phone to the watch is seamless. And the fitness tracker, from heart rate to sleep quality, is nice, especially with Gemini AI, a nice quirk. One thing I must say is the square and circle design is not appealing to me; I definitely prefer it to be a seamless circle. Another thing is the battery life; for the regular person, it will last the day and need a charge at night, which could be better. But the positives outweigh the negatives

Best of all, the LTE version I chose lets me stay connected without being tethered to my smartphone. Honestly, I wish I’d made the switch sooner!

Product Ratings : 52025-12-07Product Ratings : 5Since I bought my Watch8 recently I have been very impressed. My Heart Specialist requested that I buy this particular Watch8 so that I can monitor my heart & sleep activity. I have been having fun trying out all of the features on the watch & have been enjoying the reports/information etc that my watch has given me. My Watch8 has also given me 'Peace of Mind' with the reminders and alarms to help my heart/sleep condition! I am also happy that whenever I go to my specialists and doctors that I can show him/her my report/s on my Watch8 for my heart/lungs/sleep apnea. My Watch8 gives me ease of mind as I know that the Watch8 alarm will call Emergency or let me know when to call Emergency when needed. I am soo happy with my Watch8 because of all of the features as well as exercise programs & eating habits/advice etc. To sum it up - I am very happy with my Watch8 purchase to monitor/check my heart & lungs health.

It hooked up with Google maps for directions, kept track of my blood pressure, my sleep schedule, my events, and more. The only thing it couldn't do is connect to my FreeStyle Libre 2 to keep track of my blood sugar, and I hope that'll be covered in the near future. It's been quite comfortable to wear, I was worried it'd bother me since I've not used watches in ages, but it fits quite well. The watch face is bright enough to use during the day, for clear viewing, and the interface is intuitive once you've gone through the initial setup. Connecting to the phone was a breeze, and took almost no work at all.

Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung CanadaTechfan36Product Ratings : 22025-07-23 WiltshireProduct Ratings : 2I like the look of the new design, but I don't think the material is great as easily damaged. Poor judgement on only giving a certain strap size on each device. They should be just the watch face and customer chooses, as women can't then buy the bigger watch face as they have smaller wrists. So having to pay out more money to get a strap. Performance currently seems slow, not sure if it's building up, but currently not great. I think the heartbrate sensors maybe better. But I think samsung should deal with Whoop, as there sensors and tracking for health are far more advanced
Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung UKResponse from Samsung:2025-07-24CXWhile it's great to see that you love the new design of the Watch8, it's a shame that you aren't thoroughly enjoying it. We believe that the material of the straps is robust, however, we can't guarantee that they will remain damage free in all scenarios. While our watches do come with a strap, you also have the option to purchase a different band during the checkout process, if that would work better for you. You then still have the added extra of the free one that comes with the watch, in case it ever comes in handy. All of our customers are free to purchase the product that best suits them, and we're always here to help if you have any pre-purchase questions that will help you have the very best experience.

BluesharkProduct Ratings : 52025-08-13 MaidstoneProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with my new watch. It connected to my Samsung phone as soon as I turned it on, and it set up very easily. I have found it easy to work around the menus and get it set up as I want to. I have found the features really helpful in monitoring my health and exercise, and in encouraging me to think about what I eat and what I do. My only issue is that this watch did not come with a C plug, so I was not able to use it until I purchased one separately. The charge also does not last much more than a day, so I need to find a time in my day to charge it regularly so it does not run out. I find this watch comfortable to wear and there are other straps and protective covers available to personalise it.

I hope that Google goes with a different company for their phones in the future. This does not make me want to get any more Samsung products, it makes me sorry I didn't get a pixel watch. Because I can't use those specific features,it really doesn't do much more than my original Galaxy watch.

CarlieTProduct Ratings : 42025-11-25 North EastProduct Ratings : 4I am enjoying this watch. However, if wearing it overnight also, which I do, I barely get a full day out of the battery life. Garmin watches do pretty much what Samsung do, but battery life is fantastic. My son and daughter both have Garmin, so I feel battery life could be improved on Samsung. The buzz vibration intensity is very low. All settings are turned to the highest possible setting, I have been through the with a Samsung advisor, there is nothing else I can turn on, or up, to increase the vibration. I sometimes miss messages now, because of this, my previous, older classic model Samsung watch, had a stronger vibration which was much better. Everything else with the watch is fine, just the above 2 issues.

I think I've tried out all of features except for the running options. I don't run. The only thing I had an issue with was the hiking function on one occasion in that it paused and didn't restart so instead of a 5 hour hike it tracked 37 minutes. There doesn't seem to be an auto-pause on hiking but it thankfully was only a one off. I do love the shape of the screen and that a lot more items on the screen compared to the 6. The battery lasts about the same time comparing to the previous models but this is on full power rather than battery saving mode. The watch 8 charges a lot quicker. Well worth the money.

Gerisa96Product Ratings : 32025-09-14Product Ratings : 3[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch looks really nice, has bright display, variaty of features and is the most comfortable tracking watch I have had. However, there are some negatives too - some of the features are available only for Samsung smartphone users which is quite restrictive. The battery lasts around 2 days with minimum usage, which is just not enough. Also, the sport band it came with started getting dirty after few weeks of wear - the sisal bits are getting darker, and the corners of the band are turning blue. It's quite dissapinting quality for a Samsung product at such a price point and makes me wander how long would the watch last. While there are quite few positives of this watch, the negatives are a reason why I wouldn't repurchase it.

On set up I love the fact it asked if I wanted to restore the settings from my previous watch which I did and it has transferred all my existing settings and watch faces to the new device and really quickly. I am using the health monitoring features and have noticed there is a greater accuracy when recording steps than in earlier models alongside the updated gps. The blood pressure has been calibrated and the ECG has been recorded, so I will see how I get on after a work out. I love it so far and it has been a great addition to my fitness routine and wardrobe, the straps are easy to change so goes with everything.

One standout feature is its ability to measure my antioxidant levels, helping me monitor my diet and encouraging healthier habits — an innovative and welcome addition.

Jchase1984Product Ratings : 52025-08-14Product Ratings : 5I decided to upgrade from my Galaxy Watch 6 to the Galaxy Watch 8 44mm as I was very intrigued by the new UI and design. I must say that I am quite happy with the new watch. It's far better than the previous models and the battery life is also a bit better. The new UI helps you get much better battery life despite not really being much bigger. The design itself is great, but not for everyone! The software is nicely designed and the watch is zippy. My only gripe with it is that I wish the wireless charging was faster! Overall it's a great watch!

I loved my first watch 3 so much that when it died I couldn't bring myself to move to the 4 🤣. The watch 8 is a huge jump, still familiar but more update technology and being thinner and lighter is a huge bonus. Love it 🥰

It fits just right on my wrist - and I'm a man. The software is smooth, the options and perfect for what I use a watch for. A variety of watch faces are suitable for it. I'm glad I chose it! As we most smart watches, the multiple functions that operate in the background still force the watch to be charged every couple of days.

AnonymousProduct Ratings : 52025-09-01Product Ratings : 5I think that what Samsung have done with the tiles on the Watch8 makes it much better. The ability to group related "thumbnail" topics is really helpful. The faster charging is a game changer which enables me to wear the watch at night - previously I have been using the Galaxy Ring to monitor my sleep, now I can do everything from the one device. The one area that seems a bit flaky to me is the antioxidant measurement. I try to eat a decent amount of vegetables, carrots in particular, but it reports as very low.

Firstly, I love training and this watch tracks my movement. I thought I was doing a lot of walking in just my everyday travels but know I KNOW I am. It gives me a different reading on my kilometres to the treadmill which is a bit disapponting as I want it to say 5k which is what the treadmill reads but the watch always has it as less. I am able to see how high my hearbeat raises to on the spin bike. It tracks circiut but iI am not sure what it is measuring. I am yet to use it whist swimming. I know that I can but I am a bit wary that I may not press the lock water out bit. However I am most excited to use it there as I wantot know if it tracks my laps which will be brilliant and my speed per length. That will be very interesting

UfpgirlProduct Ratings : 52025-09-03Product Ratings : 5I bought this to replace my smaller Galaxy watch 7. Super easy to set up and start using. It has so many great features it's hard to focus on just one. I love the health related features. It's so easy to log exercises and check up on my heart rate, definitely helps keep me motivated! I wear it while I sleep, it lets me see my sleep cycles and gives me advice if anything needs improvement. The only very minor thing I don't like is that when I put it into sleep mode and check the time, usually when half asleep in the dark, it first shows the regular watch face then slips into the basic sleep mode time. It's like a lag in timing. I just find it mildly annoying because my regular watch face is bright. Otherwise I am happy with my watch, everything else seems to work great.

I really don't like that the wireless charging function from the phone has not been turned, although the back has become flatter. I also didn't like that the back is white. It always should be black, even on a Silver watch. The black back makes the watch look thinner.

Its not a true anti oxidant reading, as i have tested it during alcohol consumption and it never went down.

The display is bright and powerful, I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND HAVING THE SCREEN ON FULL BRIGHTNESS! The screen is that bright that on full brightness it could probably be seen from mars 😂. The interface is easy to use and the sensors are accurate. Definitely reccomend!
Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung UKResponse from Samsung:2026-01-03CXIt is great to see you are loving your new epic Watch8, Alfred! With the 325 mAh battery, you can get up to 40 hours of usage time with Always On Display disabled, and up to 30 hours with it enabled. Along with the smooth connectivity and stunning 1.3" Super AMOLED display, you'll always be wowed! ^LB at Samsung Support

The Samsung watch can have multiple faces on it which is so useful and easy to see and navigate through, adding the apps you use is so stress free and connection to phone went so smooth and can see my apps on watch crystal clear. It fits snuggly to wrist and felt as though won't fall off any time soon Overall totally love this watch as stylish easy to use and so comfortable to wear

Product Ratings : 42025-12-01Product Ratings : 4Upgraded from a watch 3 and it's great so far. The features are a good upgrade. However, it would be great if we could reuse straps from old watches with a universal design or an adaptor in the box.

It can do so much and every time I scroll through the features I seem to find something else. I'm very impressed with the levels of customisation you can give to this. It connected easily to my phone. The watch is comfortable to wear and the battery life is just over a day but I'm sure as the novelty wears off it off. The buttons have additional functionality and are easy to use. They dont stick out too much so you dont end up catching them or accidentally pressing them. The standard watch strap is ok, trying to secure the 3nd of the watch strap can be a little tricky as it goes under the main strip and I do seem to keep pinching my skin. Overall a massive thumbs up from me. I really am enjoying this watch and it does everything I need it to do and so so much more!

Helpful?(1)Features Product Ratings : 5Performance Product Ratings : 5Design Product Ratings : 5Value Product Ratings : 5LeiGProduct Ratings : 32026-01-29Product Ratings : 3As others have said, the battery life is an issue. Less than 2 days. I knew that going in, but purchased anyways because of the extra features other watches don't have. What I am really annoyed about is that fact that I bought this watch under some false pretenses. In doing my research, I saw that I could download the Samsung watch app on my android phone to access all the features. Well, as it turns out, I can not use the specific features I bought this watch for as they are not compatible with my phone (EKG and bp). So I spent more money on a watch with a shorter battery life and unusable apps. This is very frustrating and I thought I had researched my purchase fully. This should be made clear in the information available. This issue will definitely influence any future purchasing choices I make.

MgoreProduct Ratings : 42025-08-22 SwindonProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an upgrade from my Watch 4, I wanted something smaller mostly for the health tracking as a nightshift worker and keen swimmer. The watch is comfortable to wear and the perfect size for me. As only a small watch strap was included with the purchase I've bought a larger band in a funky colour which is comfortable and practical. The functionality of the watch works well, I've added my cards and used it for texting alongside reading notifications. The health features are mostly working well however today whilst swimming i noticed that it was adding lengths to my total pool lengths, that I hadn't actually achieved which is a bit disappointing. The battery life I'm also finding slightly disappointing as it only lasts for around 14 hours so I can't go from day to night shift without charging.

ObsydianSMSProduct Ratings : 52025-08-06 LoughtonProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some thoughts, firstly, about the Watch 8, it's been refined further, and the biggest improvement is the fit on the wrist. I much prefer the flatter profile, which means the best fit to date and lets be honest fit is everything for comfort and measuring the big list of SHEALTH attributes. Beyond that UI8 works its magic on the UI, still not sure about the pill format, but love the Now bar, battery seems a solid 2 days, build is great, screen seems allot bigger than its 44mm size.

A Random UserProduct Ratings : 52026-04-05Product Ratings : 5LIt has so many exercises and even the ability to create your own exercises. A really nice feature is the web browser, which is helpful when you want to search something without getting your phone. The fitness tracking is also very good because it is accurate and it can track so many things. It is very thin and light, which is nice when sleeping with it on. The screen brightness is good, being clearly visible in sunlight. The battery charges really fast and lasts around 3 days.

Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung CanadaCaSkProduct Ratings : 22025-12-09Product Ratings : 2I purchased the watch as a Christmas present for my husband. After wearing the watch for 6 days the battery life was not improving. The most you will get for battery life is 1.5 days with all features turned off. This makes it an expensive digital watch. Very disappointed when comparing to Garmin's that he was getting an average of a 6 days battery life. I do not recommend purchasing this watch especially if you currently have a Garmin and are thinking of trying a Galaxy watch.

PekaPekaProduct Ratings : 32025-07-28Product Ratings : 3I got the new watch last week. It looks great, holds a charge for longer. (I'm upgrading from the Watch4). The new faces that are available look nice, until you see the horrible orange highlight colours that can't be changed, this is minor. The main issue is the new strap raises the watch too high to charge on the dock. It charges with the one supplied, but to use the Samsung dock you need to take the strap off. I subsequently bought the fabric strap but this too sits too high.
