Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (2025) 40mm Bluetooth Smartwatch, Cushion Design, Fitness Tracker, Sleep Coaching, Running Coach, Energy Score, Heart Rate Tracking, Silver [US Version, 2 Yr Warranty]

Incredible watch, I own the watch5 but this one is the best they've made so far, is very sleek, is wider and color choice is great, has a protection base around the screen, tracks everything, including energy, does more than what i thought and is very appealing finding more things to do with it, battery is great, and audio sounds loud and clear, already love the running coach, test my limits but keep me at a healthy pace, is great value for your money, i couldn't be happier with this watch

So far I am very happy with my watch. The UI is more polished and fluid.The battery life is also phenomenal as well!As for the watch itself if isn't bulky or weighty on the arm, it has a low profile, and although I can't speak specifically on durability since I've not had any instances of dropping/bumping things, I do sleep in it every night and have had no issues with scuffs or scratches appearing in the screen.The watchband fits well, however, it might be a tight fit if you are plus size or if you have muscular arms. The material itself is very soft on the skin.I'd say overall it is a great option for most people, especially if your primary goal is to track health related statistics.

This watch has a lot of new stuff!A new bezel and a new way to attach the two bands. A lot more choices for watchfaces, and, many more color choices for background and font.There's a new way of using "tiles" ... instead of having one group of tiles and apps, now we have what you might call folders, with subfolders.You can see each "subfolder's" info at a glance when you're looking at that folder. From what I've seen so far, there are 3 "folders"... which are entitled Health; Fitness; Basic. You can add more "folders" and change its name too. Very versatile.You can put any tile or app in any of these areas of course. I put all the apps I had put on my Watch 7 into this watch's first "folder." I filed up the rest of the "folders" with anything else I needed.The bezel's new look is a little odd (a rounded square surrounds the round watchface). But, it's actually growing on me.There's a new way of putting on the bands, which is even different from the Watch 7. It's a little awkward trying to press the little bar while also getting the latch part to go in, but I succeeded.The new bands make the watch stand up from laying flat. No biggie, but it did make me wonder if the watch could still sit on its little disc charging thing (it did).When charging it, the watch face has more charging info on it.The new band is the same size as the previous version, but, I need to fasten it two holes closer to the end.As for battery, I've used the watch nearly all day. It's at 90%.I give this watch a 10 for sure. I like the look, feel, and all the new features of the Watch 8. Good job!! 👍

Great watch but...my only complaint is that you cannot use certain apps on this Watch thatYou can on the apple watch. So if you are looking for a shared ride or an taxi type service, you cannot use those applications.Because they're not available on this watch. So ask before purchasing. Hopefully in the future those apps will become available.Other than that, no complaints. The battery.life is great, color and face bright and easy to read, lots of different watch faces to choose from.My main reason for wearing is to monitor sleep and exercise, overall health. Great on a daily monitoring basis.Connectivity is seamless on my android, easy set up and seems to work fine.

I haven't had a smart watch since Samsung came out with their Samsung gear watch a decade ago. Happy that this is a more compact form factor. The charging pad works and is straightforward. Setup was as easy as it gets. I've bumped lots of corners and things with it because I'm not used to wearing a watch and it hasn't scratched. It makes up for my Google pixel 9 being a disappointment. Will upgrade to a Samsung phone in the future.
