Terrible tracking

mjake . 11 hours ago

I highly recommend not upgrading to thos watch. It is off on everything it tracks other than oxygen and heart rate. It is the worst galaxy watch I have owned regarding sleep which throws off other measures. Its way off on body composition. Save your money. I may be done with the samsung smart watches. This is my fourth and probably last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great build and functions. This watch is packed full of very useful features. The rotating bezel is absolutely amazing and comes in very handy. Holds a charge soo much longer than my old Watch 4! The display options are packed with endless options and editing. Glad I picked this watch.

Women is not as big as you think

Anna7810 . 22 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a woman myself and have small wrist so my hesitation was that the watch would look too big on my wrist but after wearing it daily for two weeks it doesn't feel too big, I also compared it to my fiancé who owns the Galaxy Watch8 in 44mm and his looked bigger than mine. With Galaxy AI on the Watch8 it now has features like Sleep Coach and Running Coach to help me stay on track with my fitness goals.

DJC1 . 2 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I like the new watch 8 classic with rotating bezel. I'm upgrading from the watch 5 basic model and I really like the nice bright display. I wish there were more metal color options though. My old watch was rose gold and it went with my jewelry. The watch 8 options definitely don't. I really want to try the galaxy AI but I'll have to upgrade my phone first as it's not showing up in settings. I really like the larger tiles and the way they can be organized.

Is this watch water resistant/proof-if so, to what water depth.

Answer from Verizon Customer Support17 days

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM and an IP68 rating. This means it's suitable for swimming and can withstand being submerged in up to 50 meters (5 atmospheres) of water for a limited time. It also has an IP68 rating, indicating protection against dust and water immersion. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 5 ATM: This rating means the watch can withstand the pressure of water up to 50 meters deep. It's suitable for swimming and shallow water activities. IP68: This rating means the watch is protected against dust and can be submerged in fresh water up to 1.5 meters deep for up to 30 minutes. MIL-STD-810H Compliant: The watch also meets military-grade standards for durability, meaning it can withstand extreme temperatures, blowing sand, and other environmental stressors. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (Classic) In a First Test While the Galaxy Watch8 Classic is water-resistant, it's not recommended for diving or high-pressure water activities. It's also important to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine, and to dry it thoroughly to maintain its water resistance. ~Jorge
