[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this watch for about 6 months and have loved it! It has some amazing features! I love using it to track my steps and activity during the day and track my sleep at night! And the design is great too! I'm able to swim with it and run in the rain because of it's amazing water resistance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this watch is a bit of a disappointment compared to my Samsung Galaxy watch 3 on the inside it may be much more but on the outside and functionality it is no different. The sensors on the watch8 classic are absolutely horrible. On paper this watch Being five generations Newark should have blown my mind but I was severely let down. You will spend more time cleaning this watch cleaning your wrist cleaning your hands moistening your wrist moistening your fingers and about 20 different attempts to even get a good read for any kind of body composition scan regardless of watch placement shaving Away Hair doing every single possible thing you can think of. I use this watch the way I used my original watch 3 as a device to keep track of my body metrics more so than to keep track of time and it kind of does that. The Galaxy AI leaves a lot to be desired honestly I wish it just was not on the device to save space and processing power it will randomly decide to start recording and respond back to just typical conversations going on without any kind of button press or prompt to activate it. The OnePlus is the rotating bezel which was a non-negotiable for me however the square back behind it does make it a little awkward I don't know why they could not just make a round watch with a rotating bezel as they have done in the past. I was in a situation where I was forced to upgrade or in this case I feel as though downgrade because support was being discontinued for my previous watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great smart watch! It keeps great stats at the gym. It's great for a quick glance at the weather or for a small game while waiting. I've had mine for a year and have no complaints. I personally never use the moving ring on the top, so I'd get a regular series 8 if I got another one. The flashlight is really handy. I use it every night. I totally recommend this watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how easy the watch is to use. A lot of great features. Charges quickly. Watch is comfortable on my wrist. Enjoy how much easier it is to switch watch bands when needed or needs to be replaced. Watch size is perfect. Sending a text message either by voice or typing it out is easy to do. Down side is battery life has been reduced since last update or two. Have to charge it every night compared to every other day.

DonutHeauxs . 10 days ago
The watch looks nice and is good for pretty much everything but workout tracking. It tracks sleep far better than being on the treadmill. It counts arm swings, not steps. Had I purchased at full price I'd be pretty pixxed.
R&R Team - 7 days ago
Hello DonutHeauxs, Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. It's great to hear that you've been utilizing and enjoying the sleep tracking features offered with the addition of your Galaxy Watch8 Classic. The Galaxy Watch8 Series requires natural arm movement to track steps accurately. If your step count is incorrect, perhaps you've held the treadmill's handrails during your workout, the watch band is too loose, or the software needs a reset. Check out the resources provided below to learn more about utilizing your device features and how they function. Let us know if you would like further assistance afterward by reaching out to Samsung Support.
