I'm so happy that I upgraded my watch. I had the Galaxy 6 classic and it was an excellent watch, never had any issues with it throughout the past almost 3 years that I used it. The battery life was excellent but of course as it ages it starts to decline a bit so that's why I decided to upgrade. I love this new Galaxy 8 classic watch. I love the tracking of the blood pressure which is important to me along with the other new features and enhancements for tracking your health as you go along your day. it's very comfortable to wear. I do notice the size difference even though it's only a you know this one's what in my it was an excellent watch never had any issues with it throughout the past almost 3 years that I used it the battery life was excellent of course as it ages it starts to decline a bit so that's why I decided to upgrade I love this new Galaxy 8 classic watch I love the tracking of the blood pressure which is important to me along with the other new features and enhancements for tracking your health as you go along your day. it's very comfortable to wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the inclusion of the new Galaxy AI in this watch. It has been upgraded to include so many new metrics to track your health, sleep, and improve your lifestyle. It works great with Samsung phones and especially Samsung health. It is also fun to easily change the watch bands and customize the watch faces!

Koytheboy . 2 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've started from the GW4 and I loved it, the leather strap with the watch looked clean, but it was getting old, slow, and had to be topped off regularly. With the GW8C it fixes nearly all of it, the rotating bezel was amazing and satisfying, bigger storage, better and thinner sensors, new UI, and better battery. In the health app it's cool that the Galaxy AI can tell you when to sleep based on sleep time, and the little tiles on the top of the health app to tell you things! I'm excited for the next app update, where AI will be even more prominent. And the screen! It is amazingly bright and you can view it in direct sunlight! I wish they'd put the AR coating on the watch though, and I wish the battery would last longer. Overall, it is a great upgrade from the GW4 and with the leather strap it looks clean.

I've been waiting for a classic version to come out. I've been on the GW4 and now with the trade in offer it was time. I have not been disappointed, and neither will you.
