[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using mobile phones for as long as they were available. I bought my first Samsung phone just over a year ago and after getting used to the different platform, I plan to stay with Samsung. I bought the Samsung Tablet and recently went all in and committed by buying the Galaxy Watch and Samsung Pro4 Ear Buds. I love the watch because of its look and feel when I wear it. It looks and feels like a real watch that does amazing things! I personally love the fact that I can split my face to two different time zones. It's not just the products that are great; their online service is impeccable. Highly recommend Samsung for all products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as an upgrade for my wife who was on a Galaxy watch 6. She used the Galaxy Watch 6 daily, and the only problem with it was that the fitness tracking seemed to not be as accurate. As the the Galaxy watch 8 has a few improvements here, it seemed like the right move and it does seem to be more accurate. The Galaxy Watch 8 has been both exciting and, in some areas, surprising. While the jump isn't revolutionary, there are enough meaningful improvements to justify the upgrade. It seems faster, better at tracking and the battery also lasts longer. My wife also liked the style this has over previous generations with the change in shape.

The watch strap is such a shame - I have had the watch all of one week and the strap is already worn and discoloured... I have done perhaps 6 hours of exercise in that time and worn it for sleep tracking. How can you market a watch the be good for sleep tracking and fitness, but sell it with a band that discolours after 1 week? Very disappointing. The watch itself is great to use - nothing special. Coming from the Watch 4, there is not exceptionally noticeable upgrade but it is smooth to use and the screen is clear. Nice a light also. Has a couple of laggy moments hopefully updates will iron this out. Battery life isnt great but its liveable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell in love with my boyfriend Samsung S24 in 2024. Since then, we had two babies together. Earbuds 3 Pro and now Watch 8 40mm Bluetooth + LTE. My baby didn't disappoint me, instead made me proud. I am still figuring out all the features. But very happy so far. Beautiful sexy design, looks sleek even on my thin arm, specifically love the two finger pinch dismissal of notifications, side button customisation, app notification settings. I haven't used the health tracking yet. I would have loved to be able to manually lock the watch with the wrist detection turned on. But now I need to turn it off to be able to lock it manually.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Bluetooth 40mm on the a few weeks ago and have worn it every day since. It’s slim, lightweight, and very comfortable. The bright display is clear both indoors and outdoors, making it easy to check the time, fitness stats, or notifications at a glance. I mostly use it for step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and sleep analysis. Workout modes are easy to start and provide helpful feedback. Notifications, music control, and quick timers make daily tasks easier, and the Bluetooth connection has been smooth. Battery life lasts about two days, and charges quickly, so it’s always ready when I need it. Highly recommend !

I received the Galaxy Watch8 2 weeks ago and am very happy with my purchase! I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 and I have to say that the battery life is so much better with the Watch8 than the Watch7. With the Watch7 LTE, I would get less than 1 day of battery life, even with the LTE turned off, and just sitting around the house. With the Watch8, even walking around all day while on vacation, I was returning to the hotel room with approximately 50% battery, such an improvement! The display is also much criper, and I really like the new UI. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a smartwatch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is a perfect match with my S25+. I love the design. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is thin, light, and feels good to wear. Its screen is very bright, so you can see it clearly outside. It has many health tools like sleep tracking, running help and it reminds me everytime that I have to stay active or that I have been staying in a place for too long The battery lasts about one day and takes a while to charge. Overall, it’s a nice smartwatch with smart features, but the battery is just okay. I wish it could lasts longer so I don't have to charge it every night. But still it looks so good on my hand. Always a samsung fan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a Samsung galaxy watch 4 previously. Can't run some Samsung apps properly that I used to run on previous watch due to permissions being so locked down. New features like vascular load and Age's index not really helpful. Don't know what results should look like for some one my age. Using a Vaseline than comparing against a baseline can let you know if improving or getting worse, but doesn't tell me how I compare to my age group. I don't feel like it's a massive leap forward. Much the same. Not worth the upgrade (so far). Temperature should be able to be measured any time. Not just while I'm sleeping. Needs work

The Samsung Watch 8 stands out for its sleek, lightweight design that feels effortless on the wrist. Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, the watch complements your style without compromising comfort. Functionality is smooth and intuitive, but the battery life may fall short for power users. With typical use, it lasts about a day and a half—enough for daily wear, but frequent charging is necessary if you're tracking health metrics or staying connected throughout the day. Overall, it’s a beautifully crafted smartwatch that excels in design and wearability. A longer-lasting battery would make it truly exceptional.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive upgraded from the Watch 4, to the watch 7, and now the watch 8. And they just keep getting better and better. My last one was 40mm, this time i went for the 44mm, and its much better I love the fact that it has a running coach on it Not too sure about the accuracy of the antioxidants bit though, as its tells me very low and to eat more fruit and veg, i practically live on fruit and home grown veg Very comfortable, even if the standard strap is a little bit too long, and thinner than my last 2 watches Unless theres any new MAJOR upgrades in the next few years, i cant see me updating from this one any time soon

It’s more comfortable than other smartwatches I’ve tried and fits under my sleeves with no problem. The screen is bright and clear, so checking messages and notifications is easy. The touch bezel is smooth to use and doesn’t make the watch bulky. The watch face looks clean and modern. I like the health features—heart rate and workout tracking are very accurate. The new Galaxy AI also makes it simple to manage notifications and keep track of my fitness. Overall, this is my favorite smartwatch so far. It’s easy, comfortable, and works really well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with the Samsung Watch 8 BT has been very good. I have enjoyed using all the features for health benefits. It let me see deeper into what I am actually doing when I go out for a run. I gave it to my son to test out as well and he was raving about the various features like body composition - which let him see his body fat % and so much more. My only problem with it is that the Bluetooth drains the battery very quickly which means that I cannot use it for sleep purposes which was the main reason I bought it. Apart from that, I really enjoyed using this watch and would 100% recommend it to a friend.

The sleek oled display with it's modern interface and the integration with Google services are all very nice, especially the gemini integration. While I haven't experienced the battery for myself, my friends who used it say the battery life is exceptional. I appreciate that it has cellular connectivity for calls to and the heart rate sensor is a big plus

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this watch a couple days ago and I am so impressed. Upgrading from an ageing Watch4, this new watch is so comfortable to wear, the cushion design is surprisingly nice and it's growing on me. The only downside tho is that this watch does get get damaged pretty easily, like I already have a range of small cosmetic marks. Also, I am fairly certain that my watch actually came with some as well, which is a bummer, so maybe quality control is not the best. That being said, I have come to embrace the marks as I believe they make it truly mine, and the rest of the watch is just top tier. It's so smooth, the battery is so legendary, and overall it's great for all aspects of my life.

I've had the Galaxy Watch 8 for a little while now and it's been awesome. The first thing I noticed is how light and comfortable it is. I've had other smartwatches that felt chunky and heavy, but I literally forget I'm wearing this one, even when I'm sleeping. The new squircle design actually looks way better in person than in pictures, and the band is super comfortable. It feels really well-made, and the battery life is surprisingly good, lasting me well over a day even with my always-on display. The whole thing just feels like a natural part of my day, which is exactly what you want from a smartwatch.

Upgraded my Watch 42mm (2018) to the Watch8 44mm, and I'm having a blast with it. I was barely using my first watch and had reservations on how much use I would get out of my new Watch8. But a week later all those doubts are out of my mind! I use the watch daily to track my sleep, measure my BMI every morning, and calculate all my daily fitness objective. The ease that the UI provide to access my music during my runs or cycling has been such a boon! And I can't stop playing with the amount of display customization Samsung has provided for the device. Every event I try out a new watch face, its always switching between casual, business and sports mode regularly! Definately recommend this!

Touchscreen completely unusable after latest update Ever since the latest software update, my Galaxy Watch 8 experience has been a nightmare. The watch constantly disconnects and reconnects to my phone, and while notifications do come through, I'm unable to interact with them at all because the touchscreen completely freezes. The only temporary fix is a hard restart, but even then the touchscreen only works for about 5 minutes before freezing again, making the watch essentially useless. I really hope Samsung addresses this with an urgent patch, as this is clearly a software issue that has made an otherwise great device completely unusable. Very disappointed for a product at this price point.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The latest Samsung smart watch is not only just stylish but it performs very impressively aswell, the screen is a real standout to previous watches, nice and vibrant and easy to read. The new Gemini integration works very well, everything is so easy to use and measurements, sleep, steps etc seem very accurate once compared with other smart watches on the market. Battery life I'm averaging just over 2 days which for me is fine as I like to charge my devices upto 100% daily so all is good in that department. Nice variation of watch faces and customisations to really make this watch unique to you and your personality. Overall a really nice watch and have encountered zero problems since my purchase.

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

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

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packed into a sleek, compact design is a powerful array of sensors, smart AI features, a fluid user interface, and surprisingly strong battery life—there’s a lot to love here. It looks fantastic on the wrist, with a design that’s both stylish and distinctive. From the moment I unboxed it to setting it up and using it daily, the experience was smooth and intuitive—far better than I expected. Pairing with my phone was quick and hassle-free. Best of all, the LTE version I chose lets me stay connected without being tethered to my smartphone. Honestly, I wish I’d made the switch sooner! To cap it all, the LTE version I ordered allows me to free myself from the clutches of my smartphone. Wish I got one sooner!

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

I like the look of the new design, but I don't think the material is great as easily damaged. Poor judgement on only giving a certain strap size on each device. They should be just the watch face and customer chooses, as women can't then buy the bigger watch face as they have smaller wrists. So having to pay out more money to get a strap. Performance currently seems slow, not sure if it's building up, but currently not great. I think the heartbrate sensors maybe better. But I think samsung should deal with Whoop, as there sensors and tracking for health are far more advanced

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving my new Samsung Watch 8. Huge improvement over my previous Watch 4. The fit is so comfortable and super light. I love how easy it is to change bands as I like to switch between the sports band and the hybrid band depending on what I am doing. Charges very fast although I do have problems charging on my Samsung wireless charger trio as the band does not lie flat so it does not connect. The display is crystal clear and response time is excellent. I make use of so many of the functions, there are very few I don't use. All in all I am extremely pleased I made the switch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to run on weekdays, so I was impressed to see that the new Galaxy Watch 8 comes with a free running coach. It helps me stay on track with my running goals and targets, while also monitoring my heart rate and running pace. The watch is incredibly lightweight its barely noticeable when I’m wearing it. The display looks flawless, and I can easily see all my data clearly on the screen. This watch is definitely going to be my go to device for running. I also love that I can stay connected with friends and family by seeing notifications from my phone right on the watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've enjoyed exploring the different features of this watch so far. I've found the options such as sleep apnea analysis, blood oxygen levels and skin temperature to predict period options to record whilst sleeping to be interesting ideas I had not thought about before purchasing the watch. I've found the watch comfortable to wear, even whilst sleeping. I think the design is sleek and not too bulky, but feels secure throughout wear. The watch is easy to navigate with a good sized face to check emails and reply to messages. So far I am enjoying wearing and using the watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new watch arrived promptly and has been really easy to set up to match with a Samsung Galaxy phone. It has been fairly intuitive to navigate its functions, and fun to explore all the health features. I like the clean design, and it is light weight and very comfortable to wear (including overnight). The battery lasts up to two days with continuous use, and takes about an hour to recharge. For phone calls, I am told the sound is of the same high quality as the phone. As a supplement to the phone, the watch is useful, functional, comfortable, and great value for money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new square-circle design is very attractive and also seem to be more slimmer. The screen resolution is crisp; vivid and the brightness also helps to make it easy to read even in direct sunlight. The straps included however is too short and I need to purchase additional straps. I was able to set it up with ease when paring with Samsung S23 . It very responsive to touch without and delay. I use the watch record my activity when running on treatmill. The distance recorded are very closed and that give me confident the accuracy when GPS signal is not available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch a week ago. Mostly happy with it. The design is great, the feel is very comfortable. The battery lasts just over a day which isn't the best, could possibly get longer using battery saver but who buys a watch to do that? Also I've had probiwith the sleep and energy score. It hasn't tracked me since purchase and I've tried every suggestion to resolve this issue. Cleaned sensor, changed arms, turn power saving on and off, reset watch, uninstalled and reinstalled apps and still no luck. I'm getting to the point where I might return to place of purchase.

I bought this to replace my 2nd gen watch ( which was still working by the way) only to find out that it doesn't do what I bought it for. I have a pixel 7a phone, which by the way is a Samsung phone, but you have disabled the ability to use the ECG and BP function. Shame on you. I hope that Google goes with a different company for their phones in the future. This does not make me want to get any more Samsung products, it makes me sorry I didn't get a pixel watch. Because I can't use those specific features,it really doesn't do much more than my original Galaxy watch.

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

Galaxy watch 8 is a great looking watch slim and not bulky, the Ai features are great and work well apart from sometimes when you summon Bixby nothing happens, that's the same with Google Gemini you say 'Hey Google' and nothing not like Google assistant that responds straight away. All the Samsung health features work smoothly on the Galaxy watch 8.... battery life around 2 days but with battery saver on you can squeeze 4 days but you lose a few health tracking features. Other than that's its a great looking watch packed with great features very happy so far 👍🏻

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a twch savvy person but I have found this watch incredibly easy to use. There are simple manuals easy to access to help get u connected and how to navigate the watch. It's a lovely light watch with easy interchangeable straps which I think it's a lovely option. Good size face and wide selection of faces which u can customise. The only downside is the battery life, while the health apps are amazing to have it does drain the battery i haven't used the watch to it's full potential so I don't think it would last a full day if u did. I had to turn on the power saver to get around 1.5days use before charging. On the whole a really good watch and a good investment if u are always losing your fone at the bottom of your bag!

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

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

I do strongly recommend that a screen protector and clear soft watch face case be included in the box. It is pretty bad when you have to be extremely careful not to get screen scratched or damaged due to these things not being included. At least if it was included then I wouldn't have to stress so much about trying to purchase something online and it arriving as soon as possible to protect my extremely expensive nice fancy smart watch that should come with it in the first place.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch in design is futuristic and donot get me wrong i like it I had watch4 for few years and installing that was super easy. For some reasons setting watch 8 took a while When it did connect, the mic on the watch didnt work but i could make calls but not speak and be heard The battery at the start didnt last a day so I thought let's do some research to increase battery life and dear god I almost had a break down. For some reasons it disconnected and refused to connect so my only option was to transfer it to new phone and again for some reason it worked and the battery last all day. The battery life on this watch for me last a day but with watch4 I could use it for few days. Would I recommend this yeah maybe if youre lucky.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So yes initially it looks massive on my small wrist, but on closer inspection it is just the squarer frame of the face. On set up I love the fact it asked if I wanted to restore the settings from my previous watch which I did and it has transferred all my existing settings and watch faces to the new device and really quickly. I am using the health monitoring features and have noticed there is a greater accuracy when recording steps than in earlier models alongside the updated gps. The blood pressure has been calibrated and the ECG has been recorded, so I will see how I get on after a work out. I love it so far and it has been a great addition to my fitness routine and wardrobe, the straps are easy to change so goes with everything.

I've been wearing the Galaxy Watch 4 since that was released in 2021, but the Watch 8 feels much better on my wrist due to the new slimmer design, and it does feel like it brings up notifications a lot faster now, which is what I mainly use the watch for, and the design on my wrist looks a lot nicer with the silver accent than just the black circle, it looks much smarter. I charge every night, but I believe this would last a bit longer than one day if needed. I would definitely recommend purchasing the Watch 8!

Setup was quick and straightforward from the moment I linked it to my phone. The new 3nm processor, paired with the latest One UI, makes navigating menus and features smooth and effortless. The design is sleek and stylish, making it absolutely worth purchasing. One standout feature is its ability to measure my antioxidant levels, helping me monitor my diet and encouraging healthier habits — an innovative and welcome addition. After using it for a few days, I’ve realised how much I can do without my phone, which is incredibly convenient when I’m on the go. The battery life is also impressive, lasting at least two days.

It's far better than the previous models and the battery life is also a bit better. The new UI helps you get much better battery life despite not really being much bigger. The design itself is great, but not for everyone! The software is nicely designed and the watch is zippy. My only gripe with it is that I wish the wireless charging was faster!

I had a galaxy watch 5, then moved over to a Pixel 3, which I thought was quite good until I got the galaxy watch 8 40mm. The other two are more like sun dials compared to this. Battery is only let down, especially when you wear at night to monitor sleep. When you get up you have to charge it. performance is excellent and the display is awesome - again comparing it to the others owned. Would I recommend this watch?--- Definitely without hesitation. Just from the health side(blood pressure, ecg, heart rate etc etc) I have several conditions that I need to keep an eye on rates pressures and so on. I set the watch in comparison from doctors machine and it is very accurate. Apart from that It looks great and is so comfy to wear. Get one - you won't regret it

None of the pixel watches were comfortable on my wrist while sleeping. With the Galaxy Watch 8 44mm, i have been sleeping with it since the day i received it. It did help me realize how much sleep deprived i was. Its been just about 10 days using it, and I am already getting better with my sleeping habits. The watch is really light weight and comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm upgrading from a Samsung Watch 4, and I can really see and feel the difference in the new Watch 8 vs the old 4. The screen has becoming noticeably larger and pixel density has probably increased as well, so the user interface has been able to fit in more information and buttons in a more relaxed manner, there's still plenty of empty space so it's not overly cramped. With regards to build quality, the new approach with the watch body looks and feels very nice. I went with the new hybrid watch strap and the quality and feel of it was nicer than I expected, on the inside face, it's essentially still a silicone based strap. Also, the watch's processor has improved a lot, and there's no noticeable lag when using it. Would thoroughly recommend a Watch 8 purchase.

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

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

One week in with the Galaxy Watch 8 and I'm a convert. Looks sharp, came with a free band, and set up was a breeze. Battery easily gets through a full day — sleep tracking overnight, exercise included — and charges way faster than I expected. Haven't worn a watch in years and was a bit nervous about that, but I barely know it's there. Clear in any light, intuitive to navigate, and the gesture control caught me off guard in the best way. The health tracking has actually been genuinely motivating too. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a watch I never knew I needed. Firstly, I love training and this watch tracks my movement. I thought I was doing a lot of walking in just my everyday travels but know I KNOW I am. It gives me a different reading on my kilometres to the treadmill which is a bit disapponting as I want it to say 5k which is what the treadmill reads but the watch always has it as less. I am able to see how high my hearbeat raises to on the spin bike. It tracks circiut but iI am not sure what it is measuring. I am yet to use it whist swimming. I know that I can but I am a bit wary that I may not press the lock water out bit. However I am most excited to use it there as I wantot know if it tracks my laps which will be brilliant and my speed per length. That will be very interesting

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

I've only have this for a month and it is incapable of tracking sleep accurately with gaps in the data now each and every night. When contacting Samsung for assistance they've been useless so far and more interested in trying to hand out 10% discount vouchers instead of actually fixing the problem. Otherwise it's a good watch with easy setup, reasonable battery life and a good set of watch faces to choose from...if only it did what it was supposed to do, and Samsung support was more focused on fixing the problem.

I recently upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 8, and I have to say, it has completely exceeded my expectations. I was previously using a Galaxy Watch 4 that remains an excellent choice and offers a lot of value for its price. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 builds on the foundation of the Galaxy Watch 4 and offers substantial upgrades in processing power, display brightness, and health coaching features, with the addition of integrated AI. For someone like me who owned a Galaxy Watch 4, the Galaxy Watch 8 is a compelling upgrade!

The new, "squircle" design of watch8 is very innovative and esthetically pleasing. The display is very bright and a plethora of customised, useful info fits in. I'm amazed with the clarity of notification images received through our security system cameras. Connection with Galaxy phone is seamless as always with crystal-clear phone calls without separate SIM. There are even more health metrics added so there is no excuse for not taking care of one's health.The new, curved strap is very comfortable indeed, however, there is no way to lay it flat against the wireless charging pad... Samsung has managed to integrate AI in the Watch8 series, a truly unique feat! Watch8 is not just a pretty face but a remarkable digital companion to help us navigate through our hectic lives!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently switched to the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, and it’s been a revelation. I usually wear a 44mm watch, but this smaller size feels perfectly compact and lightweight. What’s even better is its versatility, it seamlessly transitions from my business attire during the day to a sporty look for the gym in the evening. I’m also completely hooked on the sleep score and energy score features. They provide such valuable insights into my recovery and help me plan my energy output much more effectively each day.

The design is controversial. I really don't like that the wireless charging function from the phone has not been turned, although the back has become flatter. I also didn't like that the back is white. It always should be black, even on a Silver watch. The black back makes the watch look thinner. On the positive side, the useful part of the display has become a little larger, and new sensors have appeared. Overall I like the Samsung watch, I would rate it a 4. But I want to get your attention so I rated it lower.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a 10/10. My Galaxy Watch 8 (40mm) makes my phone jealous. It tracks my sleep, tells me to breathe when I’m stressed, and reminds me to stand up before I turn into a potato. The screen is so crisp, it's a pleasure to look at. I can literally check my heart rate while pretending to check the time in boring meetings. Battery life? Solid. Looks? Sleek. Function? Like having a tiny personal trainer, therapist, and weather reporter strapped to my wrist. I'll ever how I attend - Simply Brilliant - 10/10

I'm new to smart watches, so it was important to me to get a watch that was easy to learn, and cover all the expectations of what a watch should be able to do. The galaxy 8 certainly lived up to my expectations. The ease of each feature surpassed my expectations. I was set up and ready to go, with no real problems. The features, and functions, helped me to love this watch. Battery life lasts about 3 days, which isnt bad! The watch face is clear, and it's my lifeline if by phone is at the bottom of my bag!!!!

Received my Galaxy Watch 8 (40 mm) yesterday. Was super easy to set-up! I was intrigued by the face redesign as some reviewers were not a fan. However, I actually quite like the 'squircle' shape and feel it's more sleek with no gaps in the strap. It sits more comfortably on the wrist that it's predecessors... I have tested the treadmill function and feel it's more accurate than my Galaxy Watch 7. I am pleased with the upgrade and look forward to testing more of the health apps available on this newer series.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch to replace my old Samsung 3 watch. Once I learned how to use it, there is no comparison. It is easy to swipe and find what you want and has a big, bright screen that is easy to see. I like how you can organise apps and tiles the way you like. I didn’t particularly like the band and the way it closes but the new band attachment is so much easier to use, no more fiddling with pins, it just clicks in and releases with a button underneath the watch. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

The design is sleek, lightweight, and comfortable to wear all day. The display is bright and clear, making it easy to check notifications and health stats even in sunlight. The health features are very accurate – from heart rate and sleep tracking to stress monitoring and body composition. It motivates me to stay active and gives me detailed insights into my wellness. The workout modes are varied and the step counter is precise, which I really appreciate. Battery life is solid, lasting almost two days with regular use, and the Bluetooth connection works flawlessly with my phone. I can take calls, reply to messages, and control music directly from my wrist. A stylish and reliable smartwatch!

Logged my meals. I've lost 6lb with the help of this watch. I love the fact you can set daily goals to achieve its really helped motivate me. I also suffer with a heart condition called superventtriculartachycardia , and the egg on this watch has helped me log and catch episodes of this which is a great aid. Every day I'm discovering new things on this watch and I love it. At first I did find it quite big on my wrist, but got used to it and I am actually greatful for the big screen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just switched phones and watches across to the android system and got the galaxy watch 8 as part of this. It's a nice looking watch, but what has really impressed me is the quality and variety of data I now have, particularly as it relates to health and fitness. Previously, with the old devices I got pretty basic info and the readings were inconsistent. With the galaxy watch I have really fast readings, with lots of quality data. Now, using the Samsung health app I have a good read on so many things and it's very simple to tweak and get high value info to help on the health and fitness journey. This supports data nerds like me who like to dive in deep, but it's also super useful for people who want straight forward clear feedback on how things are tracking. So glad I made the switch.

The step counter jumped by 23 steps when i stopped for a drink when walking home for 2.5miles, i didn't even move, only to reach down into my bag as i saw it on the back of my hand change whilst on the walking work out app. Also i was not impressed to find out that the Anti Oxident meter is a gimmick because it tests how orange your skin is by eating carotenoids, no wonder it suggests eating pumpkins, because these and carrots are loaded with the orange pigment. Its not a true anti oxidant reading, as i have tested it during alcohol consumption and it never went down. Other than these two flaws its been great, it needs charging every day or two, depending upon screen usage, i also wish the strap was a little longer to get it around my ankle, because i am not allowed watches in work.

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

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

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

I much prefer the flatter profile, which means the best fit to date and lets be honest fit is everything for comfort and measuring the big list of SHEALTH attributes. Beyond that UI8 works its magic on the UI, still not sure about the pill format, but love the Now bar, battery seems a solid 2 days, build is great, screen seems allot bigger than its 44mm size.

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

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

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

I’ve been using the Watch 8 for a while now, and it really feels like a step up from my previous smartwatch. The display is super bright and sharp, which makes it easy to check notifications and fitness stats even in direct sunlight. I love how smooth the performance is — no lag when switching between apps or checking messages. Battery life is better than I expected; I can usually go a full day with heavy use and still have some charge left. The health features, especially the heart rate and sleep tracking, feel more accurate compared to older models I’ve tried. It also has a nice, premium feel on the wrist without being too bulky, so I can wear it all day comfortably. Overall the Watch 8 is reliable, stylish, and genuinely useful. Definitely worth it if you want a smartwatch that balances performance and design.

I upgraded from an Active 2, but I honestly can't say I am in love with this watch. I find the "bubbles" hard to read, I hate having to enter a password, things are not as easy to find as I would like (it takes a while to find what I am looking for, it's not as organized as I would have hoped). I upgraded about 4 months ago. The battery is not lasting long enough, there is not way I'd be able to wear this for 2 days, and that is without using it much during the day.
