Love my upgrade to the Watch 8 from from the Watch 5. I don't adjust to change well but all the features i used & like on my 5 are still there on the 8. The best thing though is the visibility of the screen!

Really love my watch. Had to watch several YouTube videos on how to use it though. My only complaint is that I have to charge it every day. My Fitbit I only had to charge like every 5-6 days. I went from a Tracker to a SmartWatch and love all the features this watch has.

Teacher Assistant Wrapped Around My Wrist

GalaxyWatchReview . 2 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Galaxy Watch is a fantastic tool for a teacher—combining intelligent features and smart wearable convenience. With Google Gemini AI built in, it’s capable of performing multi-step voice commands on your wrist (“Hey Gemini, start Class Timer, set it for 15 minutes, and open my lesson plan”), which is a real time-saver when you’re managing multiple classes. Its “Energy Score” feature gives you a daily summary of your physical readiness—based on sleep, heart rate and activity—so you can gauge whether you need a shorter break or a full reset before that next class. In the classroom, you can discreetly check notifications, timers, or schedule reminders without pulling out your phone, helping you stay present with your students. The health-insights and stress-tracking tools let you keep tabs on your own well-being (because teacher life is no joke!), and the smart assistant handles quick tasks like messaging or announcing a bell time on the fly. All that wrapped in a sleek, comfortable design that wears well all day. If you’re looking for wearable tech that supports your teaching rhythm rather than distracts from it, this smartwatch absolutely fits the bill.

Great Buy, Samsung GW8

DarkWr8h . 2 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Great Samsung GW8! Coming from a round Galaxy Active 2(44mm), I was skeptical about the fit and appearance of the actual watch. Before my purchase, I compared the Green GW7 and this one. I am glad I chose the Graphite GW8. Pros: It connected flawlessly to my S22 Ultra with no issues, as I assumed it would. I was unable to restore a lot of my backup from Samsung, but I figured as much since the old Active 2 was TIZEN. Battery life is more than the Active 2, and the interface looks great, too! The screen is crisp and sharp, and swiping and opening apps is faster. I was surprised by the extra sensors made available now, which include the use of AI. Cons: My only gripe is the bands. They need to be more flexible, meaning right at the band's loop to the watch clip. Regardless of which band you choose, you will get the same result. Charging using the newer triple charger requires me to unclasp one side of the band to charge the watch. I know Samsung! I know I can use the included charger that comes with the watch, but seriously, more thought and research should have been done on the watch's band to accommodate or fix this issue. I thought Samsung R&D would have caught this. I'm expecting someone from Samsung to write an auto-generated rebuttal to my review regarding this issue with no excuse or correction for future buyers. Unfortunately, one is forced to look at after-market support for a watch band that has this kind of flexibility. (I will be doing so). Conclusion: It is a great upgrade from an older watch. I am glad my Active 2 has lasted this long, but I needed something newer, as many apps have abandoned Tizen support. Aside from the band issue, I would recommend the GW8 or even the GW7.

Can I wear a galaxy watch with iphone

Answer from Verizon Customer Support14 days

No, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is not officially compatible with iPhones because it runs on Wear OS, which is not supported by iOS. While some older Galaxy Watch models had compatibility with iPhones, the Galaxy Watch 4 and newer models require an Android phone for full functionality. -Sean
