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

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my hands on this fantastic watch , and I'm already obsessed! The watch 8 classic 46mm LTE version is sleek and stylish, perfect for any occasion. The smooth OS system makes navigating a breeze, and I love how responsive it is. Gemini built in is a nice touch, making my life so much easier. I can't believe how comfortable it is to wear all day long. The design is so modern, and it fits perfectly on my wrist. I'm especially excited about all the cool features it offers! From fitness tracking to staying connected, it does it all. I highly recommend this watch to anyone looking for a great smartwatch experience. It's a game-changer!

                          I bought this impulsively less than a month ago and I absolutely love it. The usability with my Samsung S25 Ultra, the ease of scolling which the rotatig bezel brings coupled with the stylish design makes it a great smart watch - one that isn't limited by your dress code (in my opinion).

                          I've had the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for about 2 months now, and I'm seriously impressed. They've added the rotating bezel back, and it feels even more solid and satisfying to use than before. The biggest upgrade for me is the battery life. I'm comfortably getting through two full days of normal use, which is a good improvement over the Watch 7. The new biosensor that gives insights into blood sugar trends is also fascinating, even if it's just for wellness tracking. Overall, it's super snappy, the screen is gorgeous, and it just works seamlessly. If you're on Android and want the best all-round smartwatch, this is definitely it.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been running a Gear S3 Samsung watch for around 6 years and wouldn't upgrade as I loved it and knew its workings inside out. Time caught up with it and when I upgraded this month from a Z Flip 5 to a 7 the watch was no longer compatible so regretfully I upgraded. Having said that the reget was short lived. Apart from it being a beautifully crafted unit the features and ease of use are fantastic. My only criticism is that I have been unable to find the setting to tell me the estimated time to complete my exercise distance goal. I highly recommend this watch to anyone who is considering buying or upgrading a smartwatch.

                          I would give 5 stars but.... Running 2+ seconds fast daily while even the cheapest watches keep 15 seconds monthly. I do think the problem is in phone synchronization because if disconnected watch runs perfectly. I tried galaxy watch ultra 2024, google watch 3 and now watch 8 classic. All were fast when synchronized with phone and all were accurate if running disconnected/standalone. The sync is perfect after reset but then they are accumulating error. Since 3 different watches had the same problem there is probably a bug in the FW. I tested with s24 ultra but even if I disable BT but keep WIFI, they are running fast. Only full standalone mode is accurate.

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

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

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

                          [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

                          [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.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch looks stylish and I love its sleek design. After a week of use, I’m impressed by how much I can do without picking up my phone — from reading messages and taking quick calls to checking notifications instantly. The bright touchscreen is smooth, the watch faces are customizable, and Gemini integration makes it easy to set reminders or get quick answers. It’s great for work, where I can’t keep my phone nearby, and the fitness tracking covers heart rate, steps, sleep, and stress levels. Battery life lasts over two days, and the fast magnetic charging is a bonus. I haven’t explored every feature yet, but so far it’s exceeded my expectations in both style and function.

                          [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.] And this watch for 3 weeks. Beautiful elegant design but disappointing in its functions. I previously had a Garmin venue 3 And unfortunately it's waterproofing failed and the watch died. That bike comparison I was very disappointed in my new galaxy watch 8 classic. It's metrics including heart rate blood oxygen ECG my energy levels short battery capacity and charging time grow disappointing. The heart rate blood oxygen ECG and other metrics could not be observed in real time on the watch face and the measurements were quite suspect and inaccurate. Charging time was quite long and was necessary each day which is quite inconvenient. Also the display of health metrics was often overcomplicated. Overall disappointed.

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

                          [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.

                          I had watch active from 2019. Upgraded to watch classic 8, to be honest im samsung user for so long and always happy with the them. I bought watch 8 classic and not happy as this watch is heavy the band got dirty with in 1 week of using it(white band). I guess i should have bought the watch i only. Might have liked it more then classic, classic watch looks more menly than for the both gender and doest fit properly, either too tight or lose doest fit on my wrist. In short uncomfortable for me. And I am disappointed with this watch. And this this watch doesn't worth the price the samsung is selling.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago and love it. This is my first classic model watch after using both the Active 2 and the Watch 7. I really like the rotating bezel and larger screen. My wrist isn't very big but the large screen still looks good. The way the screen is recessed into the watch to resemble a real one is great and the classic style faces look good. The battery life is also better than my last watch. I top it up during times where I take it off (to shower, etc.) and so I only need to fully charge it once every few days. Overall pretty happy especially for the sale price I got it at.

                          [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 highly recommend this watch to anyone looking for a great smartwatch experience. It's a game-changer! #Smartwatch #TechReview #WearableTech #GeminiAI #TechLover

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.

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.

After I put the strap on, it sat perfectly and looked incredible, offering all the functions I need in one beautiful package. The box design is quite ordinary and could be much better. It would be great if it integrated a built-in charger and safe storage for the watch. Also, I'm disappointed the wrist strap isn't included standard. I was lucky the one I bought came with a bonus strap, otherwise, I would have been left with just the watch body and no way to wear it!

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

                          [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.

Last Samsung Watch I had was the Series 3 and I have never been happier returning. The squarcle shape was a concern initially however how it catches the light and how the straps fit to your wrist make it a delight to just look at. Returning to a bevel smart watch (especially the mechanical one the classic has) makes navigating the also beautiful UI a breeze and somewhat fun. I highly recommend this to anyone considering the transition from another watch brand or even just as an upgrade.

                          I bought a Samsung watch mainly for the heart rate monitoring, but honestly the accuracy is disappointing. One time my battery level was at 47%, and the watch showed my heart rate as 47 bpm at the exact same moment. That made me seriously question how reliable the sensor really is. The watch looks great and has useful features, but health tracking should be more accurate, especially for a premium smartwatch. Samsung needs to invest more in improving the accuracy and consistency of its heart rate monitoring. Right now, I wouldn’t fully trust it for health-related tracking.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this watch as a replacement for my previous Samsung watch and i have to say it is great! The user interface is intuitive and easy to use and it has so many features. I particularly like the 'running coach'. The rotating bezel feels very nice to use and enables me to navigate the features more easily than using the screen, and even means less finger marks on the screen. The icing on the cake is the design - it is beautiful looking and can even be worn with smart clothes without looking out of place. Overall i would thoroughly recommend this watch - 5 stars!

                          [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.] I have been using this for about 2 to 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it. It made me take note of how little I actually move in a day. It has made me be more motived and helped me to become more active. I am also normally quite forgetful when leaving the house often forgetting my phone. Having the lte version means I was able to purchase the add on plane for my phone. So now it doesn't matter as my watch can receive and make calls and texts when out and about. The design is really cool and stylish and looks just like a normal watch which I really really like

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this watch just 9 days ago and it's just fantastic. Never had a smart watch before and so it's all new to me and what this watch does just amazes me, at last my steps are recorded correctly as carrying my phone in my pocket never really did. don't even have to have my phone with me now and I get them all. The health recording features are just out of this world, and receiving messages instantly on my phone is fantastic too. With a nice big face that's easy to see and so easy set up a display just to suit what I'm doing at the time, never had it so easy.

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

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

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

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!

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.

                          I should have kept the 5 pro, at least it's could get three or 4 days from one charge, this 8classic has to be charged every day. I had to disarm the bezel as any slight touch turned the screen on which uses more battery. I don't like the bunching of the categories of apps on the main screen, so you have to scroll to category screen scroll down to find which one you want then tap to open up, just seems to be an unnecessary faf on a watch. I thought it would be an upgrade from the 5 to the 8 but it isn't and definitely not worth the cost.

                          [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.] I upgraded from a much older Galaxy Watch motivated by the new health features of the Watch 8, I have not been disappointed. From sleep to diet to enhanced notification functionality, the new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic not only looks great, it works! Battery life means I rarely miss sleep or activity tracking and I'm a farmer, remote traveler, entrepreneur and corporate exec - it has survived it all. If it has any downside for me, it's only that its a little big to be elegantly lady-like. But its functionality and good looks win out.

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

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best smartwatches Samsung has ever released. From design to performance, it strikes an excellent balance between classic aesthetics and cutting-edge functionality. The rotating bezel is back and better than ever. It feels premium, smooth to operate, and gives the watch that classic timepiece feel, which I love. The body is sleek and elegant, making it suitable for both casual and professional settings.

                          [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!

The design is gorgeous and premium, but what really blows me away are the features. Being able to check my blood pressure right on my wrist gives me so much peace of mind—it’s like having a mini health clinic with me at all times. The antioxidant monitoring is such a unique and futuristic feature! I never imagined my watch could give me insights into my body’s oxidative stress levels, helping me stay on top of my wellness in a completely new way.

It's an extremely beautiful watch with amazing performance and the health metrics it offers are a real insightful step up from my old Galaxy Watch 3. The sleep tracking and coaching helps as I am a poor sleeper, and it amazes me that it can tell whether I'm low on antioxidants with it's scanning technology. The battery life is great and charging speed is impressive. Customisation allows me to set it up however I want it to look.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am still exploring the watch but I must say its great so far. The design is eye catching, the functions are new, I prefer talking to google Gemini on my watch as its convenient and better functioning. I used to have an apple watch and the comparison is alot better. When im exercising I've not got to think oh I need to start tracking my fitness it's just automatic which is what I really needed. I can't wait to take it on my holiday with me to see what more I can do and use the navigation on my watch.

                          I bought the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic about a month ago. I am coming from the Original Galaxy Watch Classic. The fit of the watch around the wrist is much more snug yet more comfortable. The new health metrics give much more insight into my personal health and what affects it. The watch runs very smoothly in all applications I have used it for. The only drawback so far is the battery life. My old watch would last up to close to a week on a charge. The new one lasts about a day and a half.

                          The Galaxy Watch8 Classic has enhanced my daily routine. The Energy Score gives me clear and actionable insight into how well I'm balancing rest and activity, while the advanced sleep guidance has significantly improved the quality of my sleep. The running coach is like having a personal trainer on my wristmotivating and helpful. Overall, this watch is a powerful health assistant that works seamlessly with my other Galaxy devices. Highly recommended for anyone serious about wellbeing and fitness.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Galaxy Watch 4 Classic broke and this was a natural and seamless upgrade. The difference between the two is immediately noticeable being slightly bigger, for more performant, and with a few more health and monitoring features that are useful and interesting. The design is really nice and similar to the Watch Ultra but looks a little classier and suitable for dressier occasions. Overall, really great, but I would recommend waiting for one of Samsung's many deals to get it cheaper than RRP.

                          I bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for the health benefits, and I am very impressed with it. I like that it monitors my heart rate and Blood Pressure continuously. I also am very pleased with the rotating bezel, and how it interfaces with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus cellphone. I am looking forward to getting the new S26 Plus phone once it is released. I am also hoping for a Emerald Green Color choice for the new S26's. I have been hoping for that color choice for the last few years.

                          Got the 8 classic after doing a lot of research. Excellent choice! I appreciate the health features, the processor is fast and smooth, and the watch looks classy. I'm not worried about battery life, I throw it on the charger every night, I don't sleep with phones and watches. I use it for exercise every day, and it still has 50 to 60% battery every night. I keep the AOD off, but it's nicely customizable. Great watch! Look for sales, and buy the Canadian version if you're in Canada.

The 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!

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

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.

Well, the first feature he shows that no longer exists on the 8 Classic? YOU CANNOT CHARGE IT FROM YOUR Samsung PHONE ANYMORE. Wonder who decided to remove that feature at Samsung? The person should be removed from Samsung. Deal breaker. I'll keep my 6 Classic.

                          [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 and into the next. The display is crisp and bright, showing everything so clearly. really good features. It connects really selllnto WiFi, Samsung watch and also headphones. I love the sensors on it as it's so easy to type and you can hover. The interface is similar to all the other Samsung watches justvbegger with alot more quality. It has alot more things to do and it comes with alot of help eh Gemini which is absolutely second to none. This is the best samsung watch ive had so far .I love the bezel dial as it's so much easier to find what you need. Buy it , don't hesitate. I promise it's 100% worth it !

                          [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.] Have been wearing this for 2 weeks. Very happy with the build quality of the watch and the band. Connects seemlessly with my phone. Sleep mode function is well thought out. HR and sleep monitoring is spot on. Battery lasts 1.5 day and charges in 30min. Bit disappointed that the lower button is programmed to Samsung wallet and cannot be changed to google wallet. Otherwise very happy with my purchase. Wish Samsung would make a version with analogue watch hands.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Galaxy watch 7 44mm, and I previously owned a classic. The battery on the watch 8 classic was somewhat better than the 7 with identical settings, giving me a day+ life with AOD and health monitoring all day. It's a bit more responsive and I do like the scroll wheel. In terms of design and comfort, I didn't notice any major difference. All in all, it is a nice watch, and with the next series coming up the price has gone down to make it an easier decision.

                          I’m not an afficianado on the world of tech but I am pleased with my choice of phone on this occasion and it was surprisingly straightforward when transferring everything from my previous phone, (also a Samsung). It’s fair to say that life is a lot easier when you choose the same maker each time. In my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy is, and will always be, the phone for me. The battery is superb and I love the display and not least I love the size, it’s just right.

                          I absolutely love this watch. It feels luxurious and high-tech, with a sleek design that always gets compliments. The battery life is solid and long-lasting, and it’s noticeably more accurate than previous models. The variety of exercise modes and the depth of data provided are impressive, making it great for fitness tracking. The integration of Gemini makes everything run smoother and more intuitive. Overall, it’s a fantastic purchase and well worth the price.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is next level! Having Galaxy AI on my wrist just makes life easier. If I need a quick answer or want to get something done fast, it’s right there. At work, I can peek at notifications without pulling out my phone every five minutes, so I stay way more focused. Gemini assistant? Super handy for stuff like, “Remind me to send that email at 7 PM,” or “Set a 15min timer for my break.” it's super comfortable to wear and the battery last easily two days.

                          I love the lightness , really comfy on my wrist . Really wish the battery and screen was bigger . I didn't get the lte version ( which i normally would ) as I new the battery would suffer . Hopefully Samsung will listen to everyone and give us what we want/need so we dont have to compromise. I dont see why I have to put up with only using half the features on the watch so that it lasts a full day , Samsung battery stats are a complete lie in real world use .

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The classic style with the rotating bezel is something else make such a special interaction with it. Software the amount of watch faces that can be downloaded is amazing the widgets with the health and fitness info is top i love this. the coach that suggests what you need to do based on your data good and motivational. Battery is nice cant complain given the amount of sensors and LTE all of it working is good. keep innovating and making good products 5 stars

                          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.

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

I have the watch 6 and I am impressed by how much better and bigger it looks after 2 years I am not a fan of the square design surrounding the circular display but it does look best on the the base model, just not good.I don't like the new ui, it has some nice features like keeping all the health related ones in one widget but the app screen loses all of its style

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

                          [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.

                          I purchased this the Watch 8 Classic when it was released, very happy with the decision. The watch looks even better in person (also looks amazing in pictures but they do not do it justice). The features are amazing and watch applications are super responsive. Love all the new features and the options for additional band to further personalize the watch. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a smart watch or wanting to upgrade.

                          This is my first Watch ever so I reviewed before I bought and the upgrades from the watch 7 to the new watch 8 was substantial. It fits my wrist and lays as flat as any other watch on the market today. I love the dial and the ease of use. I was about 1 hour and had this figured out. I love the style and design. It looks dressy and tough enough to wear to work. I work in construction so it takes some beatings but so far so good.

                          Super fast delivery, connects perfectly and stays connected, sensors are good, seem accurate at the moment, display is sharp, setting it up from scratch was quite quick, had the watch 6 classic before and was toying between the 8 classic or 8 ultra, decided on the classic model again, new features and new watch faces, plenty to choose from, tiles are different from the 6 classic version, seem to be more bold and stand out more

                          The Galaxy Watch8 Classic feels like the perfect blend of a traditional timepiece and cutting-edge tech. The rotating bezel is such a simple thing, but it makes using the watch feel intuitive and almost fun, while the stainless-steel design gives it a weight and presence that feels premium on the wrist. What impressed me most is how smooth everything runs—the new chip makes apps and notifications instant, and the screen is bright enough that I never struggle to see it outdoors. Health tracking is on another level, giving me insights into sleep, heart health, and workouts that actually feel useful. Battery life could be a bit longer, and it’s not the lightest watch out there, but honestly, those feel like small trade-offs for everything it gets right. This watch doesn’t just tell time—it makes me more aware of my time, my health, and how I move through my day.

                          [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)

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

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first saw the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, I knew the design alone made it worth a second look. Samsung has brought back the rotating bezel, and it’s not just a nostalgic nod it’s a genuinely satisfying, practical feature that makes navigation feel tactile and intuitive. Whether scrolling through widgets or adjusting settings mid-workout, the bezel gives you a sense of control that touch-only smartwatches often lack.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic makes a strong impression right out of the box. Its design feels sophisticated and traditional, a welcome change from the often-generic look of many smartwatches. The rotating bezel, is a brilliant feature, offering a smooth and intuitive way to navigate the watch without constantly swiping on the screen. It's not just a cool gimmick; it genuinely improves the user experience. Connecting it to my S23 Ultra was simple using the Wearable app, which is a great control center for customizing everything from notifications to the watch face. I've also found the health tracking to be really useful, especially for monitoring my sleep and daily activity levels. The information is easy to understand, and it helps me stay on top of my fitness goals. Overall, it's a very capable and good-looking device that feels like a natural extension of my phone.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy watch 8 classic stuns with a sense of traditional design but modern smart functionality. The rotating bezel is back finally, it's such a satisfying way to navigate apps with a slightly clickie noise and tactile feel. Although it's not as prominent as the Galaxy watch 6 classic. The build feels premium with the stainless steel edges but the circle on square approach is an odd choice but still works for some reason. So far it feels very snappy must be a new chip, the battery life seems decent so far but time will tell as I'm not a heavy user. My opinion might change as I try some of the new AI health updates. This time around they gave us new gestures which I haven't found particulars uses for yet beyond testing but are very cool, Samsung finally came to their senses and let us pick our assistant. Overall, the Watch8 Classic is ideal for Android users.

                          I love the sleep score function which shows me the different phases of my sleep. The energy score is a push to achieve goals. I love the ability to personalise the watch face, how easy the turning bezel makes it to access features. The torch on the middle button is very useful as is the one push return to the home screen. I don't use the running function as I have never been a runner but, all in all, a great watch.

                          I absolutely love my new Galaxy Watch8 Classic. The design is gorgeous, and that rotating bezel is pure genius. Navigating everything from workouts to messages is so easy and satisfying. Plus, the display is super bright, which is great for sunny days. With the LTE, I can leave my phone at home and still feel connected. It's the perfect mix of classic style and modern tech. This watch feels like it was made for me.

                          My first ever Samsung watch! All feautures are amazing! Specially the sleep tracking and ECG. It recognized that I have a moderate to severe sleep apnea which is concerning for me. So I went to my family doctor right away. Gave me some prescription, and now I sleep much better now! Moreover, I'm still discovering its other features so I'll make an update review after a few months of using it. Must buy for sure!
