[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial experience with the new Galaxy Watch8 has been exceptional! From unboxing to setting up and connection to my new Galaxy 25 Ultra, the watch has exceeded my expectations. As a smartwatch user of many brands over the years, the Watch8 provides the functions needed and outperforms my previous watches in many ways: it has an easier interface, the settings and management of options available via watch or Samsung Wear app are outstanding, and it is easily customizable for smooth operation and connection to my phone. I haven't had the chance to use the Galaxy AI yet, but I certainly will! I love that I can answer calls, listen to music and so much more!

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I had my old watch for a few years and it was working great, no issues with it. I saw the trade in value and decided to go for an upgrade and I'm very happy i did. I didn't know how much better the new watches are. I will need a different band but the watch itself is better than expected. Tracking steps, larger screen, organizing apps, answering calls, connection to my phone, general service are all much better.

Small design issues but overall good watch.
4 out of 5 rating
Lauren . 5 hours ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
Overall I've been happy with this watch but do have a few small issues that prevent me from rating it 5 stars. First, for the watch face, all of the options have some of the features I'd like but not all of them. I ultimately chose one of the "dashboard" options that has some customizable components but wish I would have been able to choose a time option that does not include seconds however that was not an option nor customizable. My second issue is that overall the watch is no longer circular and is bigger than previous models. Though I knew this when purchasing I wish it was not the case and would lead me to consider alternatives in the future if the size/design does not change in future iterations. My third issue is with the watch bands. Due to the type of connection on this watch there was a larger gap between the watch and my wrist with the band that came with the watch. I had to purchase a third party band to help mitigate this issue though it is still not as flush as I would like. Finally, I wish there was still a gold or rose gold option. I rarely wear silver or black and a gold finish would match better. Overall though the actual function of the watch has been good.

If I would have known before I "Upgraded"
3 out of 5 rating
MrPrice . 6 hours ago
I "upgraded" to the Galaxy 8 from a Active 2 and about the only "upgrade" I really got was that it can track more health information. I was hoping for longer battery life, but I only get about 1.5 days of charge, and it has started losing track of my sleep in for a few hours in the middle of the night for the last several days, so probably pretty safe to say that I am not as happy about this "upgrade" as I was hoping that I would be. Kinda miss my outdated Active 2 honestly.

Happy with this watch

Kwest1117 . 7 hours ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this watch as a switch from a popular fitness watch. It is like having my phone on my wrist, which Im still getting used to, but is so convenient. I use it mostly for notifications and exercise and love that it motivates me to move and helps balance my sleep and activity.
I wish the battery lasted longer, I have to charge it every other day, but otherwise very happy with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a single mom and I work in a busy environment so when I get a msj from my kids I can see if its an emergency or not that way I know if I need to call back or wait till I'm not as busy. If I get a call and busy I can answer thru my watch if i dont have my phone next to me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from someone who never used tech watches, I have to give it to Samsung for this one. Upon receiving the watch, ive been using it everyday and it honestly comes in handy. Never thought about how much I would see myself needing it until it isn't on my wrist. From the track your sleep to being able to send texts and calls. I would recommend this device for casual everyday use.

Good watch except parental controls are awful
3 out of 5 rating
MomPants . 21 hours ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this to track my kid bc A) It was free with my phone plan, B) Kid-specific watches all had some drawback C) They advertised the new parental controls. "School time" shuts off games and ... maybe other things? but it doesn't shut off texting or calling, which defeats the purpose in large part. Also you can't put time limits on any apps, and you can't remove access to apps without fully deleting. All the things I was hoping for, the watch does not support. I'm hopeful it's bc parental controls are new and they're coming. But in the meantime, I'm disappointed. Aside from that it's a solid watch - will be even better if the battery will ever last longer than about a day.
