Simply raise your wrist and speak naturally to send a text to meet up with a friend later, set a timer for your next mile or pull up your past run times.² Watch8 is powerful and features an improved battery built to keep up with your longest bike rides without weighing you down.³ Thanks to a thinner, lighter body and dynamic strap system that molds to your wrist, you’ll almost forget your Watch is there as it tracks even the most intense workouts. Plus, the bright screen is visible even when you have to hit the trail in full sun. Galaxy Watch8 is more than a watch – it’s a health coach and tracker that fits your wrist and your lifestyle. Unlock your day’s full potential with Galaxy Watch8 and pair it with Verizon, the network America relies on.

Does what i need

JASON25 . 13 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Galaxy AI with Gemini element really makes things easier to handle in terms of the link between my phone and watch . The health apps are really good as they have always been . The new health measures seem a bit gimmicky, I haven't seen real independent studies done on the new ages ,and vascular load monitoring. But an amazing watch that is super comfortable to wear and wayyyy more convenient to use. Love it.

The Ultimate Smartwatch – Stylish, Smart, and Pack

KittyI05 . 14 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is everything I could want in a smartwatch and more. From the moment I put it on, I was impressed by the sleek, premium design and how lightweight and comfortable it feels on my wrist. The vibrant AMOLED display is stunning—bright, crisp, and easy to see even in direct sunlight. This watch is packed with features that make everyday life easier and healthier. The fitness and health tracking are incredibly accurate, from heart rate monitoring to sleep tracking and step counting. I especially love the advanced workout detection and detailed insights that keep me motivated to stay active. The new health sensors and wellness features feel like having a personal trainer and health assistant on my wrist. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting through busy days with all features enabled, and fast charging is a lifesaver when I’m on the go. The watch is also extremely responsive, handling notifications, calls, messages, and apps seamlessly. Pairing with my phone was effortless, and I love the wide range of watch faces and customization options that make it feel truly personal. With its durable, water-resistant design, smooth performance, and all the bells and whistles Samsung is known for, the Galaxy Watch 8 is hands down the best smartwatch I’ve ever owned. It combines style, smart features, and reliability in one perfect package.

Style + Function = Classic

Catsrule . 15 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this watch daily for weather alerts in real-time, a timer for my work breaks and lunches, step counts, and of course, time. It's sleek and stylish. If I want a change, I just change the band.

Great Features

Pisgah184 . 17 hours ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I absolutely love this watch. The way it's a mixture of Galaxy watch 7 ultra face. I love it. It's light and very elegant! I highly recommend it. I have had all the Samsung watches all the way from Watch 2. This is in my opinion the best

I love this new watch!

Angelfire . 18 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so happy that I upgraded to the watch8. It's great at tracking my sleep. My only issue right now is having to take off the band to put it on my charging pad. I've already ordered a stretchy band to fix that issue.

Awesome Watch - Galaxy 8 44mm

Tracnacity . 21 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch has a great sized screen where it is easy to view options. The battery charge lasts two days - I love that I do not have to charge the watch daily. The watch also comes with AI to help make things easier.

Beat samsung watch so far

Marshark . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This galaxy watch 8 does it all. The battery last for days vs my older model which was lucky to last 1 day. I use this as my alarm clock, tracks all my fitness seamlessly and i can integrate with my samsung phone. I would recommend picking this up. Easy to learn if you arent familiar using smart watches, and also has the new Galaxy AI which is a must have to stay current with new technology. You can customize this watch so many ways to fit your style.

Almost perfect...almost

GADGETSnGAMING . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy watch 8 , in my opinion is a great update to the Galaxy Watch7. Having Galaxy AI directly on device with gemini is much better than using bixby. The finish on the body looks much more like brushed aluminum than the previous model that looked more like painted plastic. The new band connection is very fast and convenient. I wish the connection was the same size as the watch ultra's however since I own both and would nice to not have to buy two sets bands for both watches. The only gripes I have with the watch8 are the speaker and the haptic. Both are weak. I've missed notification because the speaker just wasn't loud enough. All the health/sleep tracking info is very accurate.
