EscapeProduct Ratings : 52025-08-27Product Ratings : 5I have been using the classic watch 8 for about 2 weeks now, and am loving the tactile controls, robust battery and factory-loaded wellness tools. the watch feels more like a traditional, sophisticated timepiece that can be worn for any occasion and less like a stripped-down active tracker. Battery life is excellent so far with 30hours of usage time per charge. overall very good.

I purchased a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and when I tried to return it within the return period, they refused, citing an unfair “open-box” policy. For over two weeks they kept telling me to wait 1–2 days for an update, but no real solution was ever provided. Instead of valuing their customers, they delayed and dismissed my concern. I will not be purchasing from Samsung Canada again and do not recommend them to others

Excellent choice! I appreciate the health features, the processor is fast and smooth, and the watch looks classy. I'm not worried about battery life, I throw it on the charger every night, I don't sleep with phones and watches. I use it for exercise every day, and it still has 50 to 60% battery every night. I keep the AOD off, but it's nicely customizable. Great watch! Look for sales, and buy the Canadian version if you're in Canada.

The sleek, classic design makes it the kind of watch you can wear anywhere whether I’m at work, out for coffee, or hitting the gym. It just fits every moment. But the real magic is in what it can do. From tracking my heart rate and workouts to giving me gentle reminders to breathe or move, it’s like having a personal wellness coach on my wrist. Plus, getting notifications, answering calls, and controlling music without pulling out my phone? Total game changer. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is beautiful on the outside and powerful on the inside! Love it!!

Time caught up with it and when I upgraded this month from a Z Flip 5 to a 7 the watch was no longer compatible so regretfully I upgraded. Having said that the reget was short lived. Apart from it being a beautifully crafted unit the features and ease of use are fantastic. My only criticism is that I have been unable to find the setting to tell me the estimated time to complete my exercise distance goal. I highly recommend this watch to anyone who is considering buying or upgrading a smartwatch.

Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung AustraliaSmart stylistProduct Ratings : 42025-09-12Product Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a smart watch since 2018 and it was time to upgrade. When the Galaxy Classic was introduced, it was not like most others and presented like a traditional watch however it can be personalized. I took delivery approx. one month ago and i am " blown away" the apps and style are fabulous. I have received many comments on its appearance. I am still exploring the functionality and LTE connection and amazed how much can be fitted into such a small package. I would like the battery to last longer, however as i have been constantly experimenting with the watch as it is new it is using more power. i am expecting that it will be acceptable under normal use.

Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung AustraliaScufflescufflesProduct Ratings : 52026-05-29 Hamilton, New ZealandProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box, the watch looked great, and the setup was just as good. The screen looks nice and high quality, and little to no stuttering when navigating the watch interface. The stock straps themselves are pretty comfortable and look stylish. I've felt pretty comfortable with the durability, having had a galaxy watch before that never got scratched on the screen, which is super important to me. Battery life is good in my experience, at least 2 days of battery which I can't complain about. I'd say measurements are pretty accurate apart from maybe stress levels in my experience which I assume runs off heart rate.

Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung New ZealandBeautifulCreationProduct Ratings : 42025-08-14 Sowerby BridgeProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is extremely comfortable and easy to use. The set up is very simple and straight forward. The watch has many useful features and the 'face' is changeable, which I like. It is good quality and well-made. I would recommend this watch and it would be easy to use for someone who isn't tech confident. I like the sleek design and the interchangeable straps, although the spare I was sent was the wrong one. I like the fact it can be kept on in the shower. The step counter is fantastic and gives a good insight into daily exercise. The size of the face might be a bit big if you have a small wrist, but otherwise it is a great design.

DisappointedDProduct Ratings : 12026-04-20Product Ratings : 1[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received it as a free option with my new Samsung S26. While the phone is amazing, unfortunately, while I had the watch connected it drained my phone and the battery life didn't last all day. I reviewd settings and it seemed google play services were taking a huge chunk of the battery on both devices. After adjusting setting and turning off google services it did little to diminish the battery settings. I'm at a loss and am at the stage where I feel either my device is faulty or there are system issues that need to be resolved by either Samsung or Google. Onlinr articles suggest this is an ongoing issue that has no resolution. As pretty as it is, I'm forced to return it.

dazcheffProduct Ratings : 52025-08-06 SouthamptonProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy S8 classic 46mm bt First impressions upon unboxing is that the s8 classic looks and feels premium. The return of the bezel is a game changer and definitely a welcome upgrade to the s5 pro I previously used. The body of the watch is slimmer making it feel more comfortable than pervious models. The display is noticeably brighter and battery is lasting around 2 days. Blood pressure monitor once calibrated seems to be fairly accurate as does the step count. Im so glad samsung have reintroduced the bezel as it makes the whole watch come together and gives a more premium feel as well as ease of functionality.

AnonymousProduct Ratings : 52025-08-15 AlfordProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the watch for just over a week now, and it is a very impressive device. I have used it during a variety of activities including running, cycling and swimming and it performed faultlessly for each activity giving me useful and accurate information both in real time which was easily viewed on the clear and bright display even in bright sunshine . If you want to delve deeper into the stats , the Samsung Health app is much better than i remember from previous experiences , and importantly for a large percentage of runners you can also easily sync with Strava. And as a bonus it is comfortable to wear and it also looks good. Only gripe is, battery life could be better .

ReeRee03Product Ratings : 52025-07-28 Tottenham Court RoadProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Watch offers a compelling mix of features, though it's not without its drawbacks. The display is vibrant and easily readable, even in direct sunlight, which is a major plus. Connectivity is generally solid, pairing quickly with my phone and maintaining a stable connection. The range of sensors is impressive, accurately tracking steps, heart rate, and sleep patterns. However, the interface can feel a bit cluttered at times, requiring some navigation to find what you need. Battery life is average; I typically get a day and a half of use, but heavy usage drains it much faster, so keep that in mind.

zoomcowProduct Ratings : 52025-08-12 MayfieldProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is stylish and functional. The strap has improved connection to watch, which makes it easy to connect and change the strap. The improved GPS is brilliant. I've used the watch to track walks and even when rowing when on holiday. The availability of improved health monitoring is definitely something I'm enjoying and looking to use over the coming months. The Classic was my choice due to the stylish design. It looks far from a smart watch and is an ideal size for me. Battery life is double my old Samsung watch and this will ensure there is greater flexibility between charges. I am really pleased and impressed with the watch and highly recommend it.

akhtar927272Product Ratings : 52025-08-06 RotherhamProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the Watch Ultra 47mm and prior to that a Watch 6 Classic, you can truly see the changes from Samsung. This device is packed full of features; the new One UI 5 is unreal, by far the most engaging and easy-to-use UI. From the notifications being a more bubbly, easy-to-read design to scrolling down on tiles. The running coach is amazing; after 12 minutes of assessing your activity, it recommends a running plan and is your very own running coach. I opted for the athleisure band in graphite. I believe this to be the best hybrid band from the layout, complementing both a formal and casual outfit.

LubnaProduct Ratings : 22025-08-03Product Ratings : 2I had watch active from 2019. Upgraded to watch classic 8, to be honest im samsung user for so long and always happy with the them. I bought watch 8 classic and not happy as this watch is heavy the band got dirty with in 1 week of using it(white band). I guess i should have bought the watch i only. Might have liked it more then classic, classic watch looks more menly than for the both gender and doest fit properly, either too tight or lose doest fit on my wrist. In short uncomfortable for me. And I am disappointed with this watch. And this this watch doesn't worth the price the samsung is selling.
Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung AustraliaRen3Product Ratings : 52026-07-11Product Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago and love it. This is my first classic model watch after using both the Active 2 and the Watch 7. I really like the rotating bezel and larger screen. My wrist isn't very big but the large screen still looks good. The way the screen is recessed into the watch to resemble a real one is great and the classic style faces look good. The battery life is also better than my last watch. I top it up during times where I take it off (to shower, etc.) and so I only need to fully charge it once every few days. Overall pretty happy especially for the sale price I got it at.

anjannairProduct Ratings : 52025-09-12 PooleProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming up from Classic 4 , the Classic 8 is larger in diameter and feels like a quality watch with a beautiful screen and buttons. I used it like before for my running and gym sessions and was pleased with the the improved interaction of the side buttons and the accuracy of the data captured. The battery life is easily 2 days and furthermore with the battery saver mode which led me to use it as my primary watch. I like the way the straps connect to the body and am looking forward to swapping them easily to another type. Overall I have been pleased to make the switch to an updated Samsung smart watch and am looking forward to use the running coach feature and also using it when i restart swimming.

carlonaProduct Ratings : 52025-08-11 stockportProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the Samsung galaxy 5 pro before this and love the upgrade. The design is much nicer and feels better in my wrist. I have very thin wrists but this doesn't look overly big on it which is great. I love the bezel that you can use to move around screens. The apps in the screen look much more modern and the enhance health insights are great although I haven't yet managed to get data for sleep apnea despite wearing the watch as specified. There are more options for the side buttons including different uses depending on a long press if a double press. I would definitely recommend.

SquallmuzzaProduct Ratings : 52025-08-06 CanterburyProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect blend of functional and style, with the real look of an actual watch but the functionality of a smart watch. I've spent a fair bit of time fiddling with the various features and can say I'm very much satisfied with the wide range of features available. This represents a significant upgrade from my previous smart watch in style and functionality and I won't be looking to change it up for a long time to come. Also, the strap is of a nice, high quality. I've experienced straps breaking in the past, but this one seems strongly made, and comfortable to wear too.

Dee2177Product Ratings : 52025-10-26Product Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box, the watch is beautiful. It's solid, has a satisfying weight, and clearly looks well-made. After I put the strap on, it sat perfectly and looked incredible, offering all the functions I need in one beautiful package. The box design is quite ordinary and could be much better. It would be great if it integrated a built-in charger and safe storage for the watch. Also, I'm disappointed the wrist strap isn't included standard. I was lucky the one I bought came with a bonus strap, otherwise, I would have been left with just the watch body and no way to wear it!

It strikes an ideal balance, feeling incredibly lightweight on the hand without compromising on a sense of strength and durability. The silver finish is a real highlight, effortlessly complementing my style. Operation is seamless; the display is not only fast but also impressively bright, making it a joy to interact with. A standout feature for me is the mechanical bezel, which offers a distinctly satisfying tactile feedback as you smoothly transition between screens. Furthermore, the battery provides ample power for daily use, and the comprehensive health and activity tracking capabilities are a major plus, offering valuable insights into my well-being.

MG29Product Ratings : 52025-08-28Product Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch after being off the Samsung Galaxy Watch train for 2 years. Last Samsung Watch I had was the Series 3 and I have never been happier returning. The squarcle shape was a concern initially however how it catches the light and how the straps fit to your wrist make it a delight to just look at. Returning to a bevel smart watch (especially the mechanical one the classic has) makes navigating the also beautiful UI a breeze and somewhat fun. I highly recommend this to anyone considering the transition from another watch brand or even just as an upgrade.

FelixauzProduct Ratings : 52026-06-03Product Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the watch for over a week and first impressions on quality are excellent. It is a well made piece of kit. I have worn it in the shower and during workouts with no issue. The weight and size took a while to get used to but on balance I prefer the bigger screen size as its easier to use and view. NFC did not work until a pin was set up and the watch was hard reset, no issues since. Easy to change watch faces etc and I purchased a metal band which is far more practical and comfortable than stock, quick to take off and on. The heath app is great and call quality is OK a little quiet on full volume for my liking. Battery last a whole day with always on function enabled and recharge is pretty good at around 35 minutes from 25%.

wolowitzerProduct Ratings : 42025-09-04 ManchesterProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall much more refined and smooth experience with a snappy interface. It feels like Samsung has finally matured the Galaxy watch series from a teen into an adult with the polished silver square frame and a more premium look. The weight isn't off-putting but you definitely know it's there. There's not much Samsung specific innovation on top of WearOS so software wise is consistent with other watches in this category. The screen is bright and crisp with no delays in responses. I am disappointed that the battery life still struggles to get past 2 days - the Galaxy watch 5 Pro has the same stamina and is 3 years older. Otherwise, a smart premium looking watch that stands out with a great choice of original and third party straps available

rsousa18Product Ratings : 52025-08-11 RomseyProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is hands down the best smartwatch I’ve used so far. The rotating bezel is not just nostalgic—it’s incredibly practical, especially during workouts or when wearing gloves. The build quality feels premium, the screen is bright and crisp, and the slimmer design makes it surprisingly comfortable despite the larger size. I’m impressed with the new health features like Vascular Load and the Gemini AI integration—it feels more like a personal coach than just a watch. Battery life is decent, lasting me close to two days, though I wish it charged a bit faster. Overall, it’s a big step up in both performance and polish. Highly recommend it if you're serious about fitness and want a smart, reliable companion on your wrist.

Connectivity is good and has a stable connection to phone or WiFi. Step tracking is good as well as the health monitoring features works really well. Sadly there are a few features you cant use if you don't have a Samsung phone which is really disappointing. This isn't clear in the marketing for ther watch.

Battery life means I rarely miss sleep or activity tracking and I'm a farmer, remote traveler, entrepreneur and corporate exec - it has survived it all.

AnonymousProduct Ratings : 52025-08-11 NorthamptonProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is a watch that perfectly combines classic elegance with modern technology. The rotating bezel design offers a very pleasant user experience. It is made of stainless steel and features a superb, very bright display that remains perfectly visible even in sunlight. The health functions are among the most advanced: it monitors heart rate, sleep, stress, blood oxygen levels, and even sleep apnea and an “antioxidant index” – an interesting new addition. It includes a smart running coach, and with help from Google’s AI (Gemini), it can respond to voice commands and offer personalized suggestions. The battery life is excellent. It’s an outstanding watch for those who use a Samsung phone and want something both elegant and highly practical.

KroebProduct Ratings : 52025-11-01Product Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a Gear S3 Frontier for many years and it has worked flawlessly. The only thing I did was replace the slowly dying battery with a new one with more capacity. All was work well and the I upgraded to an s25 Ultra and found out Tizen watch OS was no longer supported......noooooooooo. luckily I was able to side load an older Wearable App apk and all was working fine again....then I updated the s25 os and bam the Gear S3 no longer works. So I purchased the watch 8 classic and after setting it up and using it for a week, I am convinced that this watch is perfect for my needs. I have a glass screen protector to add and also getting a stainless steel band. The Gear s3 is by far the best smart watch made and I am thinking the watch8 classic is the perfect replacement.

That rotating bezel is back, baby, and it’s a pure joy to fidget with. Forget swiping—this thing clicks and whirs with every turn, making it feel like an actual watch and not just a glass rectangle on your wrist. Sure, the "cushion" case is a little chunky, but it's got a confident, solid feel. Under the hood, it’s zippy, with a new processor that makes everything feel buttery smooth. It's also packed with all the quirky health stuff you didn't know you needed, like an Antioxidant Index. The real star, though, is the battery life. It finally lasts a solid two days, so you won’t have to baby it to get through a weekend. If you’re a fan of a watch with a little personality and don't mind a bit of a wrist-hug, the Classic is a winner.

HasnainProduct Ratings : 52025-09-02 LondonProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a newcomer to the Samsung wearable ecosystem, I've been pleasantly surprised by the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. It feels solid and well-made, and I appreciate the traditional watch design. The physical rotating bezel is a standout feature—it's a very intuitive way to navigate and scroll through information without constantly touching the screen. It adds both a functional and aesthetic quality that sets it apart. I’m looking forward to getting more out of it with continued use.

Priced similarly to its predecessor, it's accessible without sacrificing performance. The battery is amazing and lasts me all day and into the next. The display is crisp and bright, showing everything so clearly. really good features. It connects really selllnto WiFi, Samsung watch and also headphones. I love the sensors on it as it's so easy to type and you can hover. The interface is similar to all the other Samsung watches justvbegger with alot more quality. It has alot more things to do and it comes with alot of help eh Gemini which is absolutely second to none. This is the best samsung watch ive had so far .I love the bezel dial as it's so much easier to find what you need. Buy it , don't hesitate. I promise it's 100% worth it !

Very happy with the build quality of the watch and the band. Connects seemlessly with my phone. Sleep mode function is well thought out. HR and sleep monitoring is spot on.

It's a bit more responsive and I do like the scroll wheel. In terms of design and comfort, I didn't notice any major difference.

Jay SProduct Ratings : 42025-08-06Product Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Enjoying the watch very much. Great features, looks great, very easy to set up and operate (with my Samsung phone). My biggest gripe is that the heart rate reported is substantially higher than it actually is when measured with a chest strap during exercise (can't Samsung use gyroscope readings to fix this?). Also, I'm used to a comprehensive user manual that one can use to get detailed information, and find the user guides on the apps lack detail.

PaulinDevonProduct Ratings : 42025-08-05 CullomptonProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro to the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic feels like shifting from watch with decent battery life and features to a device packed with new features but a not so great battery. I get a full day without much issue but the need to charge on daily basis. It's a shame the watch cannot charge a little faster. The watch looks great, more like an actual watch than a smart watch, which is a huge win. I was not sure how I would find the dial but I love this feature, being able to scroll through tiles without fiddly screen scrolling is fantastic. Health tracking is great, with a few more added features than my previous watch, this will more of a long term test. Overall the watch feels snappy and great to use. The AI features are a nice edition and handy to have on my wrist rather than reaching in my pocket for a phone.

disaka79Product Ratings : 42025-09-12 ChathamProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic BT 46 mm is a stylish and premium smartwatch that feels solid on the wrist, thanks to its stainless-steel body and the classic rotating bezel, which makes navigation smooth and satisfying. The display is bright and easy to see even outdoors, and the new Wear OS 6 with One UI 8 and Gemini AI gives it a modern and smart experience. I like that it offers many health features such as sleep, stress, heart rate, and even advanced wellness insights, though some readings aren’t always perfect. The battery lasts about one to two days depending on use, so I still need to charge it often, but it’s fast enough to power up in about 90 minutes. Overall, I find it a reliable and classy smartwatch that looks good for both daily wear and formal occasions, even if it could be lighter and have better battery life.

Steve lightProduct Ratings : 42025-08-01 LondonProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first view, the watch is very stylish. Lightweight, and feels very robust. The rotating bezel feels great, it almost locks into position as you turn it, a nice upgrade from the older 46mm. The strap is also good quality life, im unsure of what it is made from but, the strap i opted for, was the hybrid camel colour and looks very similar to a leather strap, which I think really compliments the watch. I am yet to fully dive into the features of the watch, but I do like the step counter and monitors. My gripe is with the sound (and the reason for the 1 less star). The ringer is quite loud, but the volume for the notifications (even when turned right up) seems very low, so easy to miss notifications in noisy environments. That being said, and as the title of my review, great watch! I would definitely recommend to anyone (especially those that use samsung phones)

Helpful?Originally posted on Samsung UKResponse from Samsung:2025-08-02CXThank you for taking the time to share this review with us about your Galaxy Watch8 Classic, Steve. We are really glad to hear that you are enjoying using this fantastic gadget, and that the design and build have made such a strong first impression! The iconic Rotating Bezel is a signature Classic feature, that makes this model look sophisticated and elegant; while also making the interaction with it precise and accurate. The hybrid band in Camel colour is a great choice, as it offers the classic look of leather with the durability of a modern material, and it sounds like it complements your style perfectly. Additionally, it is great to know that the health tracking features like the step counter and monitors are already making a positive impact. As you dive further into the features, from advanced health tracking to smart notifications and more, we hope it continues to surprise you in all the right ways. We also appreciate your feedback about the notification volume. We'll be sure to pass this along to our development team, as we're always working to improve the user experience. In the meantime, you can enable vibration alerts alongside sound, which will make sure nothing gets missed, even in louder environments. This can be done by heading on the watch to: Settings > Sounds and vibration > Vibration and select your desired vibration pattern and intensity. In the meantime, it is wonderful that you would definitely recommend this brilliant piece of tech to anyone and especially the Galaxy users, for the ultimate smart experience! ^CL at Samsung Support
hinesalProduct Ratings : 42025-08-12 St AlbansProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this watch for a week or so and it took me a little while to get my head around some of the new features, and some of the new ways old features work too. For example, I couldn't understand why my watch wasn't vibrating to tell me I had a new notification. Turns out that that setting was switched off by default and I had to find it in settings to turn it on. The watch has a sleeker design than the previous classics, the bezel is flatter than the old ones making it easier to use your fingers to swipe between tiles and notifications on the watch. The screen is also clearer too, if you turn the brightness level up you can see it even in strong daylight. The battery lasts a few days with regular use meaning you only need to charge it every so often. The charge is fast too. Overall, I was pleased with this new version and would recommend it to others.

Vim04Product Ratings : 42025-08-06Product Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this on the pre order. Came exactly when they said it would. First impressions the watch itself is alot more premium than I thought it would have been. It's comfortable to wear for me as I have a small wrist and I was a little bit hesistant at the size of the body which is 46mm. Bit of a shame the screen wasn't as big as I hoped. And also as it stands now my watch 4 still has the better battery life which hopefully will change with updates. Even though there more features on the 8 Classic. The best feature on this watch has to be the rotating bezel, Using the interface is a lot more tactile with the bezel. Second is the design of the watch, the stainless steel makes it seem durable and looks like a proper Classic watch that you would wear out for any occasion. I would recommend this product all though the price is pretty expensive for this watch.

Nicko g55Product Ratings : 52025-09-07Product Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy watch 8 classic stuns with a sense of traditional design but modern smart functionality. The rotating bezel is back finally, it's such a satisfying way to navigate apps with a slightly clickie noise and tactile feel. Although it's not as prominent as the Galaxy watch 6 classic. The build feels premium with the stainless steel edges but the circle on square approach is an odd choice but still works for some reason. So far it feels very snappy must be a new chip, the battery life seems decent so far but time will tell as I'm not a heavy user. My opinion might change as I try some of the new AI health updates. This time around they gave us new gestures which I haven't found particulars uses for yet beyond testing but are very cool, Samsung finally came to their senses and let us pick our assistant.

TatersProduct Ratings : 52025-07-31Product Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate to be able to receive my watch a couple of days before retail sale and I'm super happy with it. It is far more comfortable and feels lighter that the Watch4 Classic it replaced and in operation it seems so much more responsive and "zippy". The extra functionality such as hydration recommendation after exercise, sleep and health analysis, is actually useful rather than being a gimmick. Moving from the Watch4 to the Watch8 was relatively painless thanks to the Samsung Wearable app there were only a few notification settings and watch faces that required manual intervention. My main issue with the watch is the change in attachment for the strap, moving to a whole new attachment method is always going to mean that there is more cost to the purchaser as the old straps can't be used. I'm very happy with the Watch 8 Classic and glad I waited until this style made a return.

It's thicker than the base Watch8 but not thick enough to be too bulky to wear. Samsung health features are great too, very detailed sleep metrics. The WearOS itself is a bit junky in terms of animations and the UX-wise is miles behind watchOS. I don't mind though as I can't use it with Android devices.

Battery life great have always had classics with the rotating bezzle. Love the middle button i have set to water lock. I have it set for double tap to ensure no accidental activation. I pre ordered and was a little worried it might be too bulky but it's not it fits my wrist well. I could even go a little bigger. Can't fault it

So many smart features to list off, faultless and a smooth transition from the Garmin ecosystem to Samsung. Pairing with my ZFold was seamless. To any Garmin users thinking of moving, this is what you need to move to. Not even to mention the lightness and it is way more stylish than the oppositions.

TeddyBProduct Ratings : 42025-08-06 South ShieldsProduct Ratings : 4[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried out the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic recently, and honestly, it’s one of the best smartwatches I’ve used in a while. I have not worn my Galaxy watch 7 since it arrived! It’s got that proper watch feel thanks to the rotating bezel (which I’m so glad they brought back) but still does all the smart stuff effortlessly. The screen is super bright and clear, and the build feels solid — not just a fitness tracker in disguise. Health tracking is seriously detailed — heart stuff, sleep, even skin temperature and some new antioxidant thing I didn’t know I needed. It also runs really smoothly, and the new Galaxy AI features are actually helpful, not just gimmicks. Battery life is decent but could be better compared to some smart watches, and there’s loads of storage for apps and music. If you’re into smartwatches but want something that looks a bit more classic and less techy, this one’s worth checking out.

The connectivity is universal so I nay potentially connect it to other devices i own. Things such as the interface and display just wonderful. I have to say the sensors are ideal for someone like me who wants to track my antioxidants

moragmcboragProduct Ratings : 52025-08-14 kilbirnieProduct Ratings : 5[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in white for about a week, I'm really happy with it. The watch has a classic, premium look that I love, and it was a breeze to set up right out of the box. The rotating bezel is fantastic. It makes navigating through everything so much easier and more precise than swiping. The watch is also surprisingly comfortable, even with the 46mm size, and it feels secure on my wrist all day. As for the features, the battery life has been solid, easily getting me through a couple of days on a single charge. This is great because I can track my sleep without worrying about it dying overnight. The fitness features are also very helpful for my gym sessions, keeping a close eye on my activity and progress. Overall, it's a great smartwatch that combines style with a lot of practical features. It's comfortable, has a good battery life, and the fitness tracking is perfect for my needs.
