Galaxy Watch 8 (2025), Silver, 40mm, Bluetooth Smartwatch

I have had a Samsung Galaxy watch since they first came out. My first one is still going strong, but I needed one that would track my activity in the water, since the majority of my activity is water related. This watch is great for that! It has been in the water with me now almost daily for weeks and works like a charm! I have an app that will automatically set the watch to the water mode, or I can set it myself. It counts each step, stroke and workout moment - and seems to do so accurately. The size is a nice upgrade from the earlier versions, being slightly easier to read. All my apps and information were easily transferred to this new watch, making the transition seamless. It doesn't vibrate quite as strongly as my last one did, so I miss a notification here and there, but since my phone is never more than a few feet away from me, that really isn't an issue. Time will tell if it lasts as long as my first watch did, but I am really so impressed with this watch. To me, it is worth spending the cash to have the added assurance of counting my water activities.

This is my favorite smart watch I've ever had. Great and useful features - like O² check, ECG check and other fabulous features, especially when paired with a Samsung Smart phone. I like to have this watch check my heart rate and stress level constantly, so the battery life suffers a bit. I can get about 2.5 days from a full charge. All in all its great, so far!

I love my Samsung Galaxy Watch 8! The display is bright and easy to read at a glance, which is perfect during busy wedding days. I can quickly check texts, calls, and my schedule without pulling out my phone. Comfortable, easy to use, and a great smartwatch for work and everyday life.

Watch is nicely designed and easy to use. The apps are great and the set up is seamless with the phone. Audio seems good. I wish there was a smaller watch face but overall its a great investment.

I ordered this watch because my fitbit suddenly stopped working. I honestly was just going to get another fitbit but decided to look around at other options for smart watches. I primarily used my previous watch for tracking my steps, sleep, and golf play time, but the selling point to this watch was the additional apps that I get access to. I use 18 Birdies when I golf and this watch is compatible with that app. I haven't used it yet since I just got it last week, plus it's been raining every day, but I can't wait to test it out. I also go to the gym and listen to Spotify when I'm working out. I can connect my headphones to my watch and listen to music. I'm still learning so much about this watch but so far I love it. I did have to turn off the AOD after I got it because it was draining my battery faster than I wanted it to. The reason I dropped a star is because the battery life is decent but not great. I have to charge it daily, but I do like that when it's fully charged I get an alert on my Samsung phone to prevent overcharging. I'm a very petite woman and ordered the 40mm. I was afraid this might be too big for my tiny wrist but it really isn't. I honestly like the size and don't think it's too big at all. Overall, I'm really liking the watch and would highly recommend it to anyone who may be on the fence about getting one.

My new best friend. Long lasting battery life

Pros. Easy fast setup. Readings seem fairly accurate. Big, easy to read screen. Lots of watch faces to choose from. Everything just works. Paired with S25Ultra. Battery life seems very good after a couple full days of use. Ai assistant is great. Cons. Not uncomfortable, but not as compassionate I'd hoped. Not a deal breaker. But will take some getting used to. The story. So I'll be 50 this summer and I work a labor intensive job 12-14 a day. Wanted a "fitness" watch so I could monitor my heart rate etc. Picked up a FitBit versa 4. It was very comfortable. Very comfortable. But the heart rate monitor was all over the place, registering a resting HR of 53, then suddenly 120, then 85. It was just sll over the place. Shame because it was unbelievably comfortable and had outstanding battery life. Returned it and after a lot of research, order the galaxy watch 8. Kinda wish I got the 40 instead of 44. It is a bit big, and I feel that. I'm sure I'll get used to it. No deal breakers here. Just gotta get used to it. Battery: I've read reviews stating the battery life isn't great. Not sure why they say that. I've used it a couple days now and I use about 20% battery in a day. I don't have always on display on, as I don't look at my wrist constantly. So it lighting up when I turn my wrist is just what I want. I have heart rate monitoring, steps being counted, i scroll over to check weather. Use the ai Gemini to set timers etc. Even when the watch did an update in the middle of a day, the watch only used 20% battery that day. So I'd say battery life is very good. I'm nor comparing to other watches as I haven't used one in years aside from the fitbit I returned for this. For the extra cost, and extra size... you do get great app integration with galaxy phone . Better than my experience with fitbit. Also readings seem more accurate all around. All around I'd say this is a great buy and a lot of value for the $. -note: I'm not knocking the fitbit versa 4. I believe I received a defective unit. But chose this for the health app integration with my phone and better native Samsung/android app integration and ai assistant.

I purchased this for my husband for our anniversary. He loves it. The 44mm was a perfect fit. The screen is super clear. Notifications work great. Easy to set up. Very accurate!
