Samsung Galaxy 8 Watch

mea3916 . 4 hours ago

Love the Galaxy 8 watch! Love the new features, but hate the silicone band. It broke me out in a rash all where the band touches my skin. Never had this happen before with my other silicone bands. Had to knock off one star because of this issue. What is in these bands? I have had Samsung watches since they first came out! Had to go to the Dr's for it. Also cost me more money to get a new watchband. Still can't wear it until the rash is gone. Disappointed.

Extra Comfort

Valext . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generation is thinner than the last and is more flush against the wrist with the new band attachment point. Overall making it more comfortable for daily wear and even while sleeping. Because of that comfort, it's easier to get the Galaxy AI benefits, especially for the health and sleep aspects.

Love my watch 8!

GunnarsGma . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell in love with Samsung watches years ago when I purchased a watch 4. I was new to Samsung in general. I was sure that was the best watch ever- until I purchased the 8. It is big, bright, and loaded with features I use everyday. I am not a runner- I don't go to the gym, however I walk a ton at work and because my watch will detect walking, and shows calories burned, I can get a baseline of where I am at health wise. Even my doctor gave my watch 8 a thumbs up.

Battery Life

Samsungsupporter . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery doesn't last but a day in a half. I have to charge it daily. Whereas for the 7, I charged it every 3 days. I do like some of the new features. AI, the upgraded sleep detection i think that is all it has.

The 40mm model comes with a 325mAh battery, and the 44mm model has a 435mAh battery. Both offer up to 30 hours of use in Always On Display (AOD) mode.

Paul B . 1 day ago

Battery lasts long time and it charges quickly. Lots of options for displays. Easy to set up. Paired well with my Android phone.

Terrible watch.

None . 2 days ago

I got this watch mostly for running. It misses steps, from watch to Samsung app it is off by a few thousand steps, also I've ran a few half marathons, but according to the watch I haven't. All of the other features are pretty good, but I definitely would think twice, and go garmin.

R&R Team - 9 hours ago

Hi there None, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8. Your feedback allows us to continue to strive in providing the best products with superior functionality on the market to our customers while improving performance and functionality improvements. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, linked below. Your Samsung smart watch automatically tracks the number of steps you've taken while wearing it. There are different factors that can cause the watch's step count to be inaccurate. However, you may need to verify how your steps are being counted by Samsung Health. The accuracy of the watch's step measurement can be affected by the following factors: * Make sure your watch and the Samsung Health app are using the latest software. * Environmental and skin conditions may affect how well the steps are recorded. * Steps are not counted when there is no hand movement in the exercise. For example, steps may not be recorded when pushing a lawn mower or cart because your hands are not moving. The watch is intended to calculate real step counts while walking. * Walk naturally without looking at the watch or your shoulders, elbow and wrist being raised. When you walk looking at the watch, the accelerometer will not properly measure your steps taken, distance traveled, or even calories burned. * The step count may not increase immediately when walking or exercising due to the step count algorithm. When the algorithm detects 10 continuous steps, the algorithm starts to count your steps taken and updates the step count. * You may experience a brief delay before the Steps app displays your latest step count. There may also be a delay before the Goal pop-up window appears. * If you use the steps tracker while traveling by car or train, vibration may affect your step count. Please feel free to review, "Inaccurate steps on your Samsung smart watch" to help resolve what you've described to be experiencing with your feature. Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support afterward if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being a faithful Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Warranty Information smsng.us/Warranty-Info Facebook Messenger smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X Messages https://smsng.us/X-Messages Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Watch8 https://www.samsung.com/us/watches/galaxy-watch8/ Inaccurate steps on your Samsung smart watch https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003112/
