Great watch, but

Hill20 . 7 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great watch! It works smoothly. I use it daily at work, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. I use it while I take my dog for walks, and I depend it on it to tell me how far we've walked. The only downside so far is the battery, for me. I bought it because I have a tendency to let my phone die. I work at the hospital, so I'm on call sometimes. That means, I can't let my phone die obviously. It's pretty annoying when the watch it almost dead before the end of my day. My old watch went days without being charged. Other than the batter life, I love this watch. I also love the new snap design to change out watch bands compared to the old.way

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a Moto G man for a while now I've always headed Samsung Galaxy products I broke my Moto G Monday and the only phone I could replace it with was a Samsung Galaxy s25 with a Galaxy watch 8 and lowered my whole opinion of Moto G and heightened my opinion of Samsung. The Galaxy AI Samsung AI all of that AI stuff is 100

Nice case design. Bought for heart monitor functions. I have Afib and use ECG functon with logging to keep an eye on it. The Vascular Load function does not work possibly because of my Afib. Quicker response and nicer screen than my Samsung 6.

Great watch with one flaw

2 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I want to start by saying that this is a fantastic watch. Looks are awesome, feels good when wearing it, bright display and very responsive. Everything that I have come to expect from a Galaxy watch. I've owned them since the first one was released and they just deliver every time. I do like the new connection for the bands. So much easier to to change them. Simple push button release (although for bigger fingers it can be hard to press) and quick snap in place. I change my band every week or so and this is really so much better than the spring pins. There is one flaw and it is a pretty big oversight in my opinion. The way the band connection is designed there is a downward curve at the connector. So when you try to put in on a flat charger, it won't make contact. So if you have a duo charger you will find it challenging to get it to charge. Some suggestions have been take the band off to charge. I've found that it works if you loop the band over the face of the watch and buckle it that way. That is a pretty big miss for something that needs to be done every day or two. If you just use the button charger that comes in the box it is not a problem. Not sure if there is a 'fix' for this so probably have to be done on the next generation. But this is a really great, probably the best, smart watch I've used. Do I recommend it? Absolutely. Well worth your investment. You will not be disappointed.

I wasn't sure how the squarecle design would look but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Watch is really fast and responsive but I wish the Gemini app was was a little faster in acknowledging the hey Google voice command. So far, I have no regrets and I'm looking forward to the next reasonable priced watch Samsung has to offer.
