With a sporty but sleek design, it packs a serious punch of enhanced performance, longer battery life and smart health tracking to keep you locked in to your healthy lifestyle, wherever it may take you. Your Watch8 works around the clock, because a healthy lifestyle starts with healthy sleep. Advanced Sleep Tracking doesn’t just log hours, but it also takes a closer look at everything that happened while you snoozed. Wake up feeling lethargic? Get a full report on your sleep behavior, environment and disruptions, such as snoring. ¹ And when it’s time to get back on your feet for a new day and a new workout, you’re equipped with the insights you need to stay motivated with Energy Score. Need to multitask during your workout? Simply raise your wrist and speak naturally to send a text to meet up with a friend later, set a timer for your next mile or pull up your past run times.² Watch8 is powerful and features an improved battery built to keep up with your longest bike rides without weighing you down.³ Thanks to a thinner, lighter body and dynamic strap system that molds to your wrist, you’ll almost forget your Watch is there as it tracks even the most intense workouts. Plus, the bright screen is visible even when you have to hit the trail in full sun. Galaxy Watch8 is more than a watch – it’s a health coach and tracker that fits your wrist and your lifestyle. Unlock your day’s full potential with Galaxy Watch8 and pair it with Verizon, the network America relies on.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I'm bed bound and I rely on the ability to see how much I slept. It is a good product and I am going to leave it to my son. It charges quickly and I charge it every other day. Highly recommended by me and my wife. I wear it as much as I can.
