Le + : Elle est réactive, elle tient bien la charge, 2 voir 3 jours (sans usages sportif - mais porté la nuit pour la qualité de sommeil) - Le bouton central ajoute un « petit » plus. Le - : La montre est jolie sur le papier, mais fait un peu « tchip » une fois au poignet. Je la trouve moins classe que la galaxie Watch 6 Classic, du plus, l’écran est plus petit. C’est une chose qui m’a beaucoup déçu. Le dos de ma montre en plastic, c’est moyen vu le prix de la montre. Pour accrocher le bracelet, et bien il ne faut pas avoir de gros doigts 😅. Je ne suis pas convaincu, et pense à la revendre éventuellement.

I 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.

[Cet avis a été recueilli en réponse à une offre.] Cette montre présente un esthétisme remarquable et constitue un accessoire que j'utilise quotidiennement. Son poids léger assure un confort optimal. Son design sobre lui permet de se fondre discrètement dans le paysage des montres connectées. Les bracelets témoignent d'une qualité irréprochable. L'autonomie de la batterie est satisfaisante, permettant une utilisation intensive sur une journée, et jusqu'à deux jours en mode économie d'énergie. J'apprécie particulièrement la fonctionnalité d'affichage de l'heure même lorsque la batterie est déchargée. Il serait pertinent d'envisager cette fonctionnalité comme une option personnalisable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During my time using the Galaxy Watch8 Classic, I’ve been impressed by how comfortable it feels, especially when worn overnight for sleep tracking. Compared to previous models, it sits more snugly on the wrist, making it much easier to keep on throughout the night. The white finish gives it a premium, stylish look that regularly catches people’s attention. The 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display is vibrant, sharp, and easy to read even in bright sunlight, making it a pleasure to glance at notifications or fitness stats. The rotating bezel is a delight to use, and the new One UI 8 interface feels smooth and responsive. Connectivity has also been seamless — pairing with my phone was quick, and notifications, calls, and music controls all sync instantly without any dropouts. I particularly enjoyed the personalised running coach, which tailored workouts to my pace and progress, and the sleep tracking features, which offered clear insights and practical bedtime guidance. The stress recognition tools are also a thoughtful addition, helping me take short breaks to reset during the day. One area I feel could be improved is the battery life. I generally get around 1.5 days on a full charge, and a 3-day battery would make the experience even better. On the plus side, accessories are easy to find, affordable, and with a strap adaptor, older straps can still be used. Overall, this is a stylish, capable, and highly functional smartwatch that blends everyday wearability with advanced fitness, connectivity, and wellness tools.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ThkkThe Samsung Galaxy S25 is a compact yet powerful phone that delivers a premium feel. Priced similarly to its predecessor, it's accessible without sacrificing performance. The battery is amazing and lasts me all day unless I'm playing games etc. The display is crisp and bright, showing 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 samsungnive had so far .I love the dial as it's so much easier to find what you need.

[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 .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One UI on a watch works surprisingly well, the interface is fast to respond and easy to navigate. Having a smart watch has been very useful for my health, I use it to track my steps mainly, seeing that number go up is motivating. Also can't go to work without it since tracking every second of a break or end time matters. 😉 Durability wise I've hit this thing on walls and metal repeatedly (on accident of course) and it hasn't got a scratch on it! Battery lasts around two work days when I'm not sleep tracking, which is pretty good! It's comfortable to wear, with multiple band options being useful and stylish. Lots of great options for watch bands, I have a few first party and one third party option and I love them all! I really like the current swap out mechanism of the bands since it's quick and easy! Also the classic watch overall is beautiful. I even wore it to my job interviews, because it really does look professional. Highly recommend!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Main thing that makes this watch better then the Ultra is the size. For a woman's hand fits perfectly combining style and functionality. It is heavy but that is not a negative thing. Just need to gey use to the weight. Colores are standard to choose from so everyone will find one that they like. I like the rotating panel at the top of the watch that moves the screens, that is a very handy feature that previous version does not have. Watch is powered with UI 8 which has quite a few unique features plus it is loaded with AI features. Watch can be used as standalone thanks to the LTE option build in. Health and exercise features still top of the market with very accurate step count. Definitely one to have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the SAMSUNG Galaxy watch8 classic LTE as I decided it was time to upgrade my previous smart watch from another brand,The watch is packed with great features and has excellent health and excercise monitoring and offers so many different ways to personalise and style your watch to your personal preferences,I also really like the bezel feature which adds not only that little bit of extra style but is a great practical way to navigate the watch itself. The only slight problem for me is the battery life,My work involves a lot of walking and im finding that with all the automatic features and monitoring that the battery drains a bit quick for my liking and that I have to charge it on a daily basis so I can,WhichDoes mean I dont use it to its full potential for fear of draining the battery before I can get home to charge it,Now this is something I may get used to once I get into the habit of charging daily as my previous watch needed to be charged every two to three days. To sum up though this is without doubt the best watch I have owned with loads of features and many more to discover that is not only stylish but very practical and works seemlessy in tandem with my Galaxy phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic BT version for a while now, and it is honestly one of the best smartwatches I have owned. The rotating bezel feels premium and makes navigation so smooth. The display is bright, sharp, and easy to read even outdoors. Battery life is solid, lasting me comfortably through the day with all features on. I really like how seamlessly it connects with my phone, and the health tracking features - heart rate, sleep, and fitness are quite useful. I highly recommend this smartwatch over any smartwatches in the market.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (BT, 46mm) is a premium smartwatch that delivers an excellent balance of performance, design, and usability. Its battery life is impressive, lasting up to two full days even with daily GPS use, such as 2-hour walks. This makes it reliable for anyone who wants to wear it day and night without constantly worrying about charging. One of its best features is sleep tracking. The watch doesn’t just record how long you sleep—it provides a detailed breakdown of sleep stages, offering insights that help you better understand your rest patterns. For everyday use, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic integrates seamlessly with Android phones, letting you control music, audiobooks, calls, and messages directly from your wrist. It keeps you connected and in control without needing to reach for your phone. The design is another strong point. The 46mm size feels solid yet comfortable, striking the right balance between presence and practicality. The standout feature, however, is the return of the physical rotating bezel. It makes navigating menus smooth, intuitive, and far more satisfying than endless swiping. Overall, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic combines strong health tools, dependable battery life, and a refined design. It feels like a smartwatch built for advanced users, while still being practical and enjoyable to use every day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic really packs in the smart features, such as the new AI based Gemini assistant, the sleep tracking which now includes sleep apnea detection, the new Running Coach is the ideal trainer as it offers 160 different training plans, plus the usual features you would expect to find in a smart watch. The health and fitness apps on this watch are the main reason for owning this watch. I have been using the Running Coach to monitor my progress as I train each day. The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic has the benefit of looking like a traditional high-end watch when the face is displaying the default watch face but offers the benefits of a fully functional smartwatch. The watch it comfortable to wear and looks great but is rather bulky for a smart watch. Pros: - Traditional Design with a host of smart features - Useful programmable Quick button and rotating bezel - Changeable straps - Fitness/Health Apps - Simple to set up and - Bright and responsive screen Cons: - Short battery life when used to full potential, it required recharge daily with the way I used the watch, also requires approx. 90 minutes to charge fully. - Only available in one size, 46mm - Only when connected to an Android phone are the smart features fully functional. It does have the option to set up without connection to an Android phone, but features are limited. (I tested both set ups to compare user features with and without connection to an Android smartphone) Summary: I love this watch with all its features. If they could increase the battery life this would be the perfect smartwatch. The limited battery life is the reason I can only give 4 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is so convenient in every day life and I definitely recommend it to everyone. It is relatively large so it may not fit everyone but since I have a large hand it fits amazingly. I can do everything on it practically like a second phone. Its design is so classy I can even wear it with formal outfits and still get my steps up. With my health issues this watch is handy as I can control my blood pressure and then generate a report to show my doctor. I am very glad I decided to purchase this watch. Samsung never dissapoints!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably one of the best looking smart watches ever released! It can easily pass as a normal luxury looking watch whilst out and about. It's also easy to paid down when wearing one of the more comfortable fabric watch bands. The rotating bezel is also a great way to move between notifications and tiles. The new health tracking features are great, it now has vascular load and antioxidant tracking, which are nice extras on top of the already large suit of health tracker. Overall a fantastic smart watch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new Generation of Smartwatches from Samsung has performed beautifully! The Watch arrives in perfect packaging, with a helpful guide to walk you through every step of setting up and all the features available. Set up as a whole did not take long at all, as this was an upgrade from the previous Gen Samsung Smart watch. The strap is a great material, very comfortable on the wrist, and the return of the spinning bezel is greatly appreciated as it makes navigating through apps and notifications easier compared to the touch screen variants. As with all recent Generations, the watch face display is personalisable to fit your daily life. The brand new quick button on the side is an excellent new addition which can be setup depending on your daily needs, alongside some new health monitors available!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the watch 6 classic this year Samsung has made some bold choices with the departure from the circle to the squirrel while still retaining the rotating bezel.the software is more refined and health features are improved with things like energy score .battery life is better at 1.5 days at proper usage .overall a solid device that retains the charm of the previous generation .also a nice plus is the charger is backwards compatible with the previous versions .

[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.

Samsung Galaxy watch 8 classic is nothing less but perfect and I've watched which brought back many classical legacies after two years and can be regarded as the Watch of the year easily not just because of its advanced hardware features and sensors or upgraded storage and battery or better connectivity as well as the display but also the system and the software and the overall it was experience as well as the assistance by Gemini and a new action button Plus the band with super comfortable contact but a classic outer look which just suits perfectly with the Watch and fully defines the snug Fit. The overall watch Factor and design has really pleased me and considering it is an upgrade from my older Galaxy watch 7, this new interface just feels right and I have actually started connecting with the Watch overall and can't be any happier.

It's absolutely superb to see that you consider your Watch8 Classic to be flawless, Subhani, thanks in part to the return of some beloved features. It's a timeless design that looks premium, but this aesthetic doesn't just end at the outer design. Once you start navigating through the gorgeous new display you'll discover that there are more ways to keep in touch with your world, or track your health, and the integration of Gemin opens up a Galaxy of new opportunities across the board. We're glad that you're finding the Action Button to be useful, as it was included to make everything easier. It's more comfortable than ever, from the base of the watch to the strap, so you can wear it all day and night. We're glad that you're loving it. ^DB at Samsung Support

[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.

While we’ve packed the Watch8 Classic with powerful new features and AI capabilities, we understand the importance of convenience and endurance. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue refining the balance between performance and power efficiency.

[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.

[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.

Overall impressions of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic LTE is the premium pick in Samsung’s 2025 smartwatch lineup. It brings back the rotating bezel, adds a third customizable button, and steps up the storage while keeping most hardwardware. A more refined “squircle” case: Inspired by the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the Watch 8 Classic delivers a modern yet refined aesthetic. The display is very crisp and easy to understand. The battery lasts a while id say over a day it lasts me which is amazing as I get 2 nights out of it. The watch is so comparable and I lobebthe bezel design. It has easy connectivity as it connects to all my Samsung products with ease. Performance is fast and I don't have to wait around fornthinfs to be done. Sensors are amazing. I get to know my blood pressure, heart rate plus more. This is honestly the best watch I have had without fail I would reccomend iit too anukneu

So, I'm upgrading from the watch4 classic. I will say. Huge improvements. The OS works seamlessly, whereas with the waych4 classic it was bugging and moving slow. The battery charge time is remarkable now. Honestly. Nothing but improvements. I didn't have the last watch so I'm not sure that coming from the watch 7 may be a big deal, however if your beyond that... its time for an update!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the last couple of years, i have fallen in love with the Samsung devices, and have fully migrated to the ecosystem. It all works and integrates easily - which is so important when you want to do things quickly and efficiently. It this case i was migrating from Ultra to Watch 8 Classic. As always, this process just works. I really like the look and feel of the Classic watch - it feels like a watch including the very elegant and comfortable strap. There some additional functions on this watch for those of you that are motivated by health statistics, and they are very useful. I particular like the running app and as it tells me in my ear how quickly I'm running and how much distance I have covered. Day to day, the watch and different watch faces work well, and the integration to work apps and devices work well, and the alerting is very non intrusive but effective. Love this watch - highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I’ve been using the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a bit now and honestly, I love it. First off, it actually looks like a proper watch, not a block of tech on your wrist. The bezel is back and I didn’t realise how much I’d missed it until now scrolling through apps feels so natural. It runs really smoothly, no lag, and pairs perfectly with my Samsung phone. I get all my calls, texts and notifications instantly, so half the time I don’t even bother pulling my phone out of my pocket. The health stuff is spot on too. Sleep tracking is actually useful this time and the fitness tracking has been super accurate whether I’m cycling or just going for a walk. The battery easily lasts the day and a quick charge in the morning is enough to keep it going. Honestly, it’s just a solid watch. Looks good, feels premium, and makes life easier. If you’re already in the Samsung ecosystem, it just ties everything together really nicely.

[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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is just something amazing, the design is just so good classic with all the new features. The quality is top and the when you pick it up you feel it. The strap is a leather and rubber mix that feels nice and is so comfortable that is by far the best strap that I have used. The rotating bezel is what sets this watch apart. The software is really good , they have made it now so that is easier to navigate and is very customisable. Withs the rotating bezel is so easy to go up and down, move between pages it just blends so nicely with the UI it works in symbiose with on another. The AI assistant is Bixby and you need to stick with Samsung health app and Samsung pay. The widgets are nice and big and display nice stats on you health and fitness. There are lots of sensors blood pressure, ECG, Heart rate, etc you have all you need to track workouts and health. The battery with all the sensors on and using it mid high to heavy is a 2 day battery. This is an amazing watch and will be in my wrist all the time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for about 2 weeks. My main motivator for getting it was that I hoped it'd help me build healthier habits, and oh boy did it deliver. From the small things like the reminders to get up and move every few hours (I'm usually at a desk for 10+ hours a day), to the motivational reminders to get out and do some exercise, the watch has been great for giving me extra push I needed to go out and get moving. It also keeps track of my heart rate so I can better pace myself better during exercise. All that however was expected and was why I bought this in the first place... What I didn't expect was for the watch to nearly replace my need for a phone. The watch is super responsive and with Gemini built-in I have no need to pick up my phone for home automation or simple web searches. I've also added a data plan and it seamlessly handles navigation, contactless payments and streaming music & audiobooks. I charge it in the mornings and as long as I have a charged pair of headphones to connect to it's the only bit I tech I need to carry with me.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic is an absolute game-changer! It packs in a host of exciting new features. From the powerful on-wrist Gemini assistant to the Running Coach, enhanced sleep tracking, and a suite of intelligent tools, this watch goes above and beyond. Compared to the Galaxy Watch6 Classic, this new version steps it up with a thicker cushion, a convenient Quick Button, and of course, the beloved rotating bezel, which remains as smooth and satisfying as ever. It’s a perfect blend of premium hardware and polished software. Samsung truly nailed the balance here. Setup is effortless, especially if you’re familiar with Galaxy devices. And the battery life is genuinely impressive—it easily lasts up to two full days on a single charge. Plus, the gesture controls are a surprisingly useful touch: pinch your fingers to answer a call or snap a photo, twist your wrist to silence a notification, or use a simple knocking motion to launch an app. It’s intuitive, fun, and futuristic. If you’re in the market for a smart, stylish, and feature-packed smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic is hands down one of the best options out there. Highly recommended!

- 1 journée d'autonomie pour une montre à ce prix c'est limite - j'avais une watch 4 qui pouvait se recharger via un partage d'énergie d'un S10 ou s21, visiblement avec la watch8 ce n'est plus possible - la fréquence cardiaque en direct, met beaucoup trop longtemps à s'actualiser à la bonne valeur (je fais un exercice d'une minute au bout d'une minute j'ai une fréquence cardiaque de 150, or il faut attendre 30 secondes au moins pour que la montre affiche 150 (alors que deux batements de coeurs - soit une seconde devraient être suffisant Plein d'autres choses à dire mais bon ici c'est trop court, il y a un site où on peut poster les remarques ?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch is a vast improvement over the old galaxy watch 4 its replacing, the screen is bright and the os is zippy, the auto exercise function works great and accurately picks up when I'm walking, the watch has good styling and the bezel feels great to use, nice and smooth, the battery life is good for a smart watch, does not last as long as a dedicated fitness tracker, the watch connects effortlessly to my samsung phone and the notifications come through with no issues at all, all in its a great watch and I would recommend it to anyone after a decent smart watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy watch 8 is a huge improvement for me compared to previous models. It is quick, responsive and gives me all of the information I need/want, right at my wrist. Straight out of the box it powers on, allowing me to set it up from a previous model or from new and I loved that I could use my Samsung account to get stuck in. So far the battery life has been a huge difference and lasts me a complete full 3 days before needing to be recharged, which is incredible. The new exercise functions are really good and the detailed feedback that you can now get, is a much needed improvement to compete in the market. The new run coach is what peaked my interest the most and so far, has really helped me to improve me running. The screen size makes answering calls and messages a breeze and the watch itself is very responsive too, no lag times or mistakes here! The colour options were a great addition too, really enjoying having a cleaner and more sleek looking watch, which doesn't scream "smartwatch" which is a huge plus as a woman. Overall, I am really pleased and really enjoying getting to grips with the galaxy watch 8, I can only assume it's going to get even better the more I use it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During my time using the Galaxy Watch8 Classic, I’ve been impressed by how comfortable it feels, especially when worn overnight for sleep tracking. Compared to previous models, it sits more snugly on the wrist, making it much easier to keep on throughout the night. The white finish gives it a premium, stylish look that regularly catches people’s attention. The rotating bezel is a delight to use, and the new One UI 8 interface feels smooth and responsive. I particularly enjoyed the personalised running coach, which tailored workouts to my pace and progress, and the sleep tracking features, which offered clear insights and practical bedtime guidance. The stress recognition tools are also a thoughtful addition, helping me take short breaks to reset during the day. One area I feel could be improved is the battery life. I generally get around 1.5 days on a full charge, and a 3-day battery would make the experience even better. On the plus side, accessories are easy to find, affordable, and with a strap adaptor, older straps can still be used. Overall, this is a stylish, capable, and highly functional smartwatch that blends everyday wearability with advanced fitness and wellness tools.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the SAMSUNG Galaxy watch8 classic LTE as I decided it was time to upgrade my previous smart watch from another brand,The watch is packed with great features and has excellent health and excercise monitoring and offers so many different ways to personalise and style your watch to your personal preferences,I also really like the bezel feature which adds not only that little bit of extra style but is a great practical way to navigate the watch itself. The only slight problem for me is the battery life,My work involves a lot of walking and im finding that with all the automatic features and monitoring that the battery drains a bit quick for my liking and that I have to charge it on a daily basis so I can,WhichDoes mean I dont use it to its full potential for fear of draining the battery before I can get home to charge it,Now this is something I may get used to once I get into the habit of charging daily as my previous watch needed to be charged every two to three days. To sum up though this is without doubt the best watch I have owned with loads of features and many more to discover that is not only stylish but very practical and works seemlessy in tandem with my Galaxy phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 8 has been a fantastic addition to my Samsung ecosystem. Software and app integration are seamless, with smooth syncing across devices and easy customisation options. Battery life averages 30–36 hours per charge, which is solid, and charging is quick enough to fit into my routine. I love that when using map navigation, I don't need to walk around London with my phone out. Bonus for safety! The screen is big enough to text via whatsapp and send messages back and forth via audio - great for use when out and about without having to bring your phone out constantly. I like that the vibration is gentle yet effective, and the ability to tailor watch faces and settings makes the experience very personal. As a female, I was initially concerned about the size and bezel since they stopped the 42mm, but in practice it feels comfortable and balanced on the wrist. Overall, it’s a sleek, well-rounded smartwatch that combines style, practicality, and strong performance. I would prefer for the battery to last longer but so far, I don't have to charge it every night which is ideal. I'm looking forward to exploring this additional benefits as time goes on. I'm keen to gain more insights to my sleep pattern and exercise data.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a bit smaller than I thought but sits really nicely on my wrist. I can comfortably wear it when I sleep (which is required for some clever functions). It does so much more than tell the time although it does that well with a range of watch faces to suit your style and even your colour scheme for the day. There are a lot of functions on the watch, I haven't got to all of them yet but I really like the sleep monitor which tracks sleep over time and you can see if you are on track, sleep being so important. It monitors my vascular health and provides reassuring guidance and hints if you might need to contact your doctor - although mine has been thankfully fine. It can detect sleep apnoea which is really useful and I suggest everyone have it do the check which is optional. I like to do my daily walks and the watch is great at tracking my steps as well as my route and heart rate. It can, if you like, suggest training routines and keep you too them. I have found that so often I would miss calls even when I was sitting near my phone, no longer because my wrist buzzes and I can even answer on the watch. I also get all my messages through to the phone and even read the message chain in certain apps. Overall its like a secretary on your wrist and has been great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Watch 8 Classic to replace my ageing (tech wise at least!) Galaxy Watch 5. The first thing to say is that the 46mm watch face is significantly bigger, but in no way do I consider it too big, and nor is it heavy or imposing. The display is a significant improvement on the Galaxy Watch 5 - bigger, brighter and clearer. The brightness is more than enough to be able to see the face clearly when outside and in direct sunlight. The next big improvement is in battery life, which is around 2 full days rather than the 1 day I was getting from the Watch 5. This is a game changer for me as it means that I can now use the sleep functionality, which I was never able to do consistently with the Watch 5 as it would be too low on battery. I've slept with the watch on for a week now, and it is comfortable (I'm a side sleeper) and gives great feedback and sleep tracking data, which seems to be accurate. As well as the obvious, I mainly use the watch for exercise tracking, and so far so good. Auto detection is great, and the step tracking is accurate to my other devices, give or take for a margin or error. Overall, I would highly recommend the Watch 8 Classic. It’s a noticeable upgrade, especially if you're coming from an older model, and it delivers on comfort, battery life, and performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (BT, 46mm) is a premium smartwatch that delivers an excellent balance of performance, design, and usability. Its battery life is impressive, lasting up to two full days even with daily GPS use, such as 2-hour walks. This makes it reliable for anyone who wants to wear it day and night without constantly worrying about charging. One of its best features is sleep tracking. The watch doesn’t just record how long you sleep—it provides a detailed breakdown of sleep stages, offering insights that help you better understand your rest patterns. For everyday use, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic integrates seamlessly with Android phones, letting you control music, audiobooks, calls, and messages directly from your wrist. It keeps you connected and in control without needing to reach for your phone. The design is another strong point. The 46mm size feels solid yet comfortable, striking the right balance between presence and practicality. The standout feature, however, is the return of the physical rotating bezel. It makes navigating menus smooth, intuitive, and far more satisfying than endless swiping. Overall, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic combines strong health tools, dependable battery life, and a refined design. It feels like a smartwatch built for advanced users, while still being practical and enjoyable to use every day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So First impressions when the watch arrived was how small and compact the packaging was. Now most people would say that its only packaging but i have to admit this packaging was very compact and impressive. Open the box and was greeted with the watch face now considering i ordered black i have to admit i though it was a chrome watch at first so i had to check but this is what they call black so i now understand that it isn't the case. The bezel is really nice just like watches used to be rotates very smoothly and it does have a quality feel about it. Its nice that you have the option of controlling your phone either by the bezel or screen for most things. there is plenty of features to play including the normal health and fitness side of things. GPS seems to be spot on and you have a nice array of apps the features to play with. AI is an interesting development on this watch its still got a lot of learning to do but you soon get involved into a conversation with a computer that can be quite entertaining but there is potential there for some useful assistance. the watch strap is a watch strap . if it doesn't suit your taste there plenty of designs you can buy but i will say that the connection method is the best iv seen on watches you can tell thought has gone into it. I'm looking forward to having lots of fun with this watch being a newbie that i am

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Watch 8 classic is my first smartwatch. It has many features to track health, including unique ones like vascular load and body composition, as well as common things like heart rate, it even tells the time! I was most impressed by it monitoring me being sedentary too. If I don't move for an hour, which happens in an office job, it gives me a jolt and suggests some basic stretches. I was really surprised by this feature, it tackles one of the modern issues of health in an elegant way. The battery seems to last me around 36hrs or so, It would be nice if it lasted longer, but maybe my enthusiasm for a new gadget is draining the battery more than expected. It charges a lot faster than I expected though, around an hour from fully drained to 98%. The design is quite timeless (pun intended), the rotating bezel works well to control things, making it much more usable and pleasant to use than just the screen. I went with the hybrid strap, which has the looks of a leather strap, but the feel of a rubber strap that suits athletic style use more, The sheet amount of holes and them being close together is a good feature, as my wrist swells over the day, and this allows easy relief when necessary. The screen is great quality and totally legible on a bright day outdoors. The GPS seems very accurate too in tracking my walks. I've got large wrists, 8"/20cm and the 46mm size fits nicely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you love a classic watch but all the latest technology then this is the watch for you! It has a classic, old-school look, but it is packed with all types of smart features. And it has a rotating bezel! Just spinning it and hearing that little click is so satisfying. It looks really good and high quality on your wrist, not just some clunky gadget. The screen is also great. It's so bright and clear that you can actually see it in the sun, no problem. No more squinting to read a text when you're outside! All the different watch faces look amazing on it too, really sharp and colorful. Screen size-wise > could have gained 2-3mm by removing the black band on the edge inside the bezel but that's probably only a matter of opinion. And it is not just about the look. It is full of features that make your health and fitness goals feel easy to achieve. Sleep tracking suggestions that are really helpful, heart rate and all other health related standard indicators, various workout modes and AI coaching is like having a personal trainer on your wrist. Battery life - what you would expect from a smartwatch filled with sensors. You can get a solid two days by turning off the Always-on display. This means that you can wear it all day and night for sleep tracking and everything else without stressing about battery life. Seriously, if you are looking for a smartwatch that does not compromise on style or features, the Galaxy8 Classic should be at the top of the list.

I used a different brand in last few years, but now I can see all the amazing features I missed out on. The watch fits my wrist perfectly, there’s no bulge at all. It’s super stylish and looks really premium. The rotating bezel is so easy to use, it’s like having a built-in scroll wheel. I’m discovering new features every day, it’s like a treasure hunt!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic really packs in the smart features, such as the new AI based Gemini assistant, the sleep tracking which now includes sleep apnea detection, the new Running Coach is the ideal trainer as it offers 160 different training plans, plus the usual features you would expect to find in a smart watch. The health and fitness apps on this watch are the main reason for owning this watch. I have been using the Running Coach to monitor my progress as I train each day. The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic has the benefit of looking like a traditional high-end watch when the face is displaying the default watch face but offers the benefits of a fully functional smartwatch. The watch it comfortable to wear and looks great but is rather bulky for a smart watch. Pros: - Traditional Design with a host of smart features - Useful programmable Quick button and rotating bezel - Changeable straps - Fitness/Health Apps - Simple to set up and - Bright and responsive screen Cons: - Short battery life when used to full potential, it required recharge daily with the way I used the watch, also requires approx. 90 minutes to charge fully. - Only available in one size, 46mm - Only when connected to an Android phone are the smart features fully functional. It does have the option to set up without connection to an Android phone, but features are limited. (I tested both set ups to compare user features with and without connection to an Android smartphone) Summary I love this watch with all its features. If they could increase the battery life this would be the perfect smartwatch. The limited battery life is the reason I can only give 4 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a few days now, and it's clear Samsung has listened to feedback from users a delivered a great refined smartwatch. Coming from the Galaxy Watch 6, the differences aren’t massive at first glance, but the upgrades are real once you spend time with it. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic brings back the physical rotating bezel, it feels premium, and makes navigating the watch so easy. Compared to the Watch 6’s digital bezel, this is a noticeable improvement in both precision and user experience. The stainless steel build also gives it a solid, classy feel that the Watch 6 just didn’t quite deliver. The display is bright enough to see clearly in sunlight, and touch response is excellent. Performance on the watch is faster, apps launch with less hesitation, and animations are smoother. It's subtle, but when you go back and use a Watch 6 side-by-side, the difference is obvious. Battery life is also slightly better despite the more powerful hardware, even with an e-sim using LTE on the watch. Speaking of LTE, it works flawlessly. I’ve left my phone behind on quick errands, and calls, messages, and notifications come through just fine. Health and fitness tracking remains solid, with auto-detection working faster and heart rate monitoring feeling more consistent than it did on the Watch 6. The updated watch UI OS is cleaner and easier to navigate, and the setup process with a Galaxy phone is still so easy and straightforward. Everything syncs quickly, and integration with Samsung Health is tight and intuitive. The Watch 8 Classic isn’t reinventing a smartwatch, but it does everything the Watch 6 but does it better. The return of the rotating bezel alone makes it feel like a proper upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been looking forward to the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for that rotating bezel... something I have been missing ever since Samsung started experimenting from the Watch 5 Pro onwards... and I am really, really happy that it is back. Navigating through notifications, scrolling through messages received on WhatsApp, and especially when trying to flick through tiles - it makes such a difference to usability having this feature. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is an excellent WearOS watch with Samsung's tweaks helping add that little bit extra to the experience, and the fact that there's also 3 physical buttons now also helps a great deal. Performance-wise, the watch is snappy, does not lag, and can churn through all the things you'd expect a smart watch to do without any fuss whatsoever. Battery life is on par with most competitors, and the watch can last two days without needing to be charged, in my experience. Activity tracking is spot on, and having those extra buttons means you can set up shortcuts to your typical workout / routine with the watch's feature of putting things that are running in the background with a little icon visible on the bottom of the screen something I found quite clever, as it helps reduce distractions. In a market that has many more options since the early days, where Samsung was leading the smart / connected wearables charge, Samsung does manage to stay ahead through delivering a watch that just works... the software has come leaps and bounds, the build quality is solid and when it registered the fact that I had changed phones, it even notified me and asked if I wanted to change the phone my watch was linked to... that clever little touch made me smile. If you were to pick this watch up for yourself, I am sure you won't be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic BT 46mm looks very attractive and high end with it’s stainless steel look. At 46mm it takes up more room on the wrist (looks very big for my small wrist) but feels robust. The rotating bezel (used for going through the tiles) is very useful. The bezel has a slick feel to it. The hybrid strap has a better feel on the skin than the sporty strap. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic feels heavier on the wrist. The default watch face is a Sporty Classic – again can be customized with different options, including colour, style, etc. The display is bright with smooth scrolling of the tiles and switching between menus. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic Health functions are impressive. You have the Energy Score, Daily Acitivity, Steps, Sleep (love the snoring recording – finally can verify what my wife says!), Hear Rate monitor, etc on the Health tile. There is a Fitness tile which measures the walking, running, bike and more. You can add more tiles if you want – haven’t got round to doing it yet. The Action button by default goes to the Exercise, but it can be customized to your needs, as can the Back and Home buttons. The buttons have a nice solid feel to them. There are a ton of customizable options for various functionalities. Looking forward to setting them up eventually. The watch syncs nicely with the phone app. Finding the phone from the watch is a good feature – there are times when I cannot remember where I put my phone. Similarly you can find the watch from the phone as well. There are numerous functionalities that I need to go through which will take a few weeks to get used to. The Gestures are a neat feature. The Double pinch, Shake and Knock Knock can be customized to do whatever you want. The performance overall is quite good. The battery lasts about 2 days with minimal use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is quite a large watch, so best for people with larger wrists. Despite that though it sits really comfortably on the wrist and is more comfy than other watches I've used. Screen is great quality and is easy to see even outside in direct sunlight. 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. Sound volume of the watch is good, and overall performance is really snappy and quick. Overall a rest watch but just a little disappointing you miss out on features if you don't have a Samsung phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic made an instant impression from the moment I unboxed it and placed it on my wrist. The first thing you feel, is the supreme build quality of this watch, the brushed stainless steel chassis both feels and looks premium and top quality, and then the star of the hardware is the unbelievably successful return of the rotating bezel, something that sets this watch apart from the rest. It is just a brilliant way to navigate through the watch and paired with the updated Galaxy Watch One U.I software is a match made in heaven. The watch software is sensational, allowing me to access way more information, way quicker, all thanks to the new 'Stacks' widgets that allow for concentrated and grouped information all together meaning it is way easier to keep on top of all my vitals and health and wellbeing levels. The deeper insights into sleep analysis, V02, Vascular Load, Antioxidant Index, AGEs Index and stress makes it genuinely feel that I have a companion with me every step of the way both day and night. It truly feels that I can keep on top of where I am at and this watch makes me feel empowered to make lifestyles choices that will improve my fitness and overall health. Having the addition of the quick access button also adds extra convenience whilst working out. The integration of Galaxy AI and Gemini just opens up a whole world of possiblities whilst on the go. With the need and use of AI becoming more and more useful/important, being able to have that ability on this Galaxy Watch 8 Classic allows for easy insight on-the-go. The watch display is amazing, with the increased brightness meaning that even outdoors in the sun, I have absolutely no problem seeing the watch and all it's information at any time. The Battery life has been brilliant truly allowing the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic to be a 24/7 companion and with the fast charging, it makes topping the watch up with charge incredilby simple and easy. The integrated watch faces are all incredibly useful and the range allows for this watch to be used in a multitude of different situations, and being versatile is watch the Watch 8 Classic does impeccably well. Having the new low-light watch faces make usting the watch incredibly easy on the eye in the evenings or in dimmer environments. This watch does and is exactly what it is, a classic! I would highly reccomend with no hesitation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Watch8 Classic is a great smartwatch with long battery life. The design can be a bit unusual, though, featuring a unique combination of a circular screen and a square frame. While I don't mind the shape, I feel this design choice makes it a bit chunkier. In addition, the watch band may not be suitable for big guy like me; I had to put the band in the last hole. One drawback is that this watch won't fit bands made for previous watches. It uses a proprietary attachment mechanism that clicks into place. The mechanism is easier to install compared to previous watches, but the button can be a bit hard to press with your bare hands. I had to use a pen to press down on the button to remove the strap. Although the watch can be worn at night to track your sleep, I find the watch a bit uncomfortable for to wear all night. It affected my sleep quality, causing me to wake up several times. As with the other classic lines, the watch has a dial to help navigate the menu without touching the screen. It also comes with 3 action buttons. However, the buttons are not as customizable as I would like. Only the top button is customizable to launch any app. The middle button is relegated to a handful of Samsung apps. It can also be turned off if you don't use it. The bottom button is relegated to recent apps or going to the previous screen. Now for the software and performance. The watch comes with Wear OS 6. This comes with a slight change in interface. The notifications are grouped vertically. In addition, you can combine some tiles into a daily recap screen. For me, this feature allows me to see all the important daily stats, such as weather, upcoming events, battery life, and physical attributes, all on the same page rather than having to scroll through one tile at a time. Otherwise, the interface is similar to previous Samsung watches, which I can't complain about since the UI is refined enough to make navigation through the different options seamless. The watch is snappy and responds well to user input. However, what I find frustrating is that some of the old watch faces that I used on my previous watches do not work and require me to edit them to get them working. In summary, this watch's main benefit is its long battery life. However, the watch is a bit chunky, and I don't find the default watch band too comfortable. The chunkiness means that the watch may not be too comfortable to wear to bed. Nevertheless, it is a good and stylish smart watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being new to a smart watch, I was dubious about how much I would use it other than to tell the time. Having said that I was pleasantly surprised how much it can do and how much I have used so far. I love it all but mostly love that you can use health apps/ readings, I can look at some photos and turn them into watch faces. It looks very sleek and stylish on my wrist, with lots if clock faces to choose from. And lastly I love I can use it almost as much as I can my phone. It's Awesome, I wish I had bought one sooner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy watch 8 is a compact yet powerful watch that delivers a premium feel. Priced similarly to its predecessor, it's accessible without sacrificing performance. The battery is amazing and lasts me all day. 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 !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own the watch 7 and the watch 8 seems a lot smoother with a different layout. I often climb mountains and ive seen some more fitness tracking features on this new watch. Im not a fan of the current silicon watch bands so i enjoy the new one has lots of new banda that can be chosen. The new face with the squarish backing seems like it will take a whike to get used to but it isnt ugly. Im just used to the circular type. It also has a good weight to it without being tooo heavy.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the awesome new Watch8 Classic! It's super smooth to operate, and the health tracking features support you with your exercise, keeping you on top of all of your stats. The range of available bands helps you find the perfect one for you, and with the sleek face design, they make a stylish combination. At just 63.5g, this watch feels premium but never weighs you down. It sounds like it's time to treat yourself to an upgrade! ^SK at Samsung Support

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a Very premium watch, the silver stainless steel with black dial look amazing, complementing the display. The display is crisp with vibrant colours (haven't had to take the display to max brightness, but I feel it will cope with ease on bright sunny days). Paired seemlessly with both my Z fold 6 and S24 Ultra. The sensors and user interface are very well designed, the back of the watch sits nicely on the wrist (it is alot bigger than my Galaxy watch 6 Classic, but doesn't feel like it is on the wrist). The new luggage system is a little tricky at first, but once you get use to it, it feels more secure and is actually easier to use than the old one of the 6 classic

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.

[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.

[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)

Thank 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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Samsung galaxy watch 8 classic for a week now and have been using it every day, even at night to track my sleep. Firstly it looks great, the new squarer design looks good and the rotating bezel is great to use. The new sensors perform great, I have recently been tracking my blood pressure and after the watch has been calibrated against a blood pressure machine, the readings are quick and accurate. The fitness app is improved too, with the addition of the couch to 5k coach, the watch guides you and tailors your runs to match your fitness level, very handy. The screen is super bright too, whilst using this on the golf course in bright sunlight, the watch was very easy to read. The battery lasts me for around 2 days on a full charge, this is with the sleep tracking enabled. I would highly reccommend this watch to anyone, from a fitness watch to a normal watch with smart functions and controlling your phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very stylish classical looking watch. There are many choices you can make, from the style of the watch face to the apps that you can add on to it. It doesn't take long to charge up and I found I would need to recharge every 2 days. Obviously the more you use it and if you use a interactive clock face, the quicker the battery drains. The straps are easy to change if required but this one is comfortable and looks stylish. As well as being a classic watch the functions on the watch are very useful. The health features are helpful, to see all the stats of the activities that I've done. Being able to read messages and answering calls are functions that I have found very convenient when my phone is on the table or inside. Obviously there is a certain distance you can be from the phone before you lose connection. The bezel can be used to swipe through the screen so you don't have to touch the clock face. This has to be the best watch I've had, with the classic look and the functions of a mini phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new stainless steel body of Galaxy Watch8 Classic is sleek, stylish, and comfortable for even small wrists. Compared to the Watch7, I have found the Watch8 Classic to be more comfortable despite being much heavier, thanks to it being thinner and having a flatter surface that presses against your skin. The new rotating bezel and quick button add great functionality and customizability, and the battery life has also been impressive. The sleep score and energy score features enabled by Galaxy AI have been very insightful, and the automatic activity and workout tracking have also been great. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with this watch.

Watch is amazing. It has a classic watch look. I selected the tan band, it looks like a standard watch. The watch is very responsive. Display is bright and clear. The health features seem to work very well. The "Stress" level was a bit eye opening!!!! Need to calm down! The battery lasts about two full days with the options I have turned on. If I turn on more sleep detecting options like snore detect, etc. the battery life will drop to less than two days. Conversely, if I turn off a few items I can get about three days out of the watch. I love that the bezel is back! My original Galaxy watches had it and I missed it when it was removed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have owned the 6 Classic since release and was waiting for the next classic. And behold the 8 Classic. Was initially skeptical due to the decrease in size screen and others not liking the design. But to me I LOVE the new design, the new square/circle is not super noticeable. But the new white color looks great with the light brown band classy for any outfit. Maybe abit too much when running haha. New layout being more flush and flat is very welcomed it feels way more snug around my wrist then the 6 Classic. Responsiveness of the watch is much faster and so far the battery has seemed to last abit longer. Over all highly recommend this watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is everything I wanted in a smart watch. Many smart watches take.the future aesthetic too far while the Galacy Watch 8 classic keeps things classy while still delivering the features you love. It retains all of tbe features of previous generations while adding new ones, like the new Galaxy AI, accessible with just a long press of the main button. I use my Watch to monitor my activity and nudge me to work on fitness goals. I also use it to track my sleep and adjust my behavior accordingly. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is definitely my favorite smart watch. I cant wait to see what new innovations come from it!

I upgraded to the watch 8 classic and absolutely love it! I had the watch 5. The classic is sleek, love the rotating bezel. Purchased an extra watch band and am so glad I did!

Im wauting to see the true value of this watch. I finally qas able to gettexts to show up. Other notifucations that i would like from other aps, still trying to figure it out. May be because im 60 years old, but i would like to have it work easier i do like to see who text me so i dont have to pull out mt phone, xant fifgure out how to sink with MS teams. If i can get it to work with my employers applications, may see value. If its just texts, not so sure. Still need to see how the health aps work. Watch does more than what im familiar with. I can see what time it is though very easyily. As i said, nice novelty, im glad it was a gift

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm extreamly happy with my 8 Classic. For a number of reasons. First of all the shape is more comfortable for my esp when working out and sleeping. The ai experience is something that Im still getting used to but so far its decent. The sleep tracking is slightly off. It doesnt track my sleep every night and misses the times sometimes. If I go to bed at 11 pm it records me going to bed at 2am. The step counter is much better this time around. It using the watch to track workouts is easier as well but samsung health doesn't catch all movements properly. Not the watches fault. My face apps all work well meaning I can make my watch my own better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a few weeks, and I’m really impressed. The rotating bezel feels smooth and gives it that classic, high-end watch feel. The display is bright and easy to read even in sunlight, and the performance is super fast with no lag. Battery life easily lasts me over a day, even with workouts and notifications on. Health tracking is accurate — I especially like the heart rate and sleep tracking features. It syncs perfectly with my Galaxy phone, and calls and messages come through clearly. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey, but considering the build quality and performance, it feels worth it.
