Samsung Watch 8 BT Review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with the Samsung Watch 8 BT has been very good. I have enjoyed using all the features for health benefits. It let me see deeper into what I am actually doing when I go out for a run. I gave it to my son to test out as well and he was raving about the various features like body composition - which let him see his body fat % and so much more. My only problem with it is that the Bluetooth drains the battery very quickly which means that I cannot use it for sleep purposes which was the main reason I bought it. Apart from that, I really enjoyed using this watch and would 100% recommend it to a friend.

Resourcful Running partner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to run on weekdays, so I was impressed to see that the new Galaxy Watch 8 comes with a free running coach. It helps me stay on track with my running goals and targets, while also monitoring my heart rate and running pace.
The watch is incredibly lightweight its barely noticeable when I’m wearing it. The display looks flawless, and I can easily see all my data clearly on the screen.
This watch is definitely going to be my go to device for running. I also love that I can stay connected with friends and family by seeing notifications from my phone right on the watch.

Sleek design and interesting features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've enjoyed exploring the different features of this watch so far. I've found the options such as sleep apnea analysis, blood oxygen levels and skin temperature to predict period options to record whilst sleeping to be interesting ideas I had not thought about before purchasing the watch. I've found the watch comfortable to wear, even whilst sleeping. I think the design is sleek and not too bulky, but feels secure throughout wear. The watch is easy to navigate with a good sized face to check emails and reply to messages. So far I am enjoying wearing and using the watch.

Sleek and functional
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new square-circle design is very attractive and also seem to be more slimmer.
The screen resolution is crisp; vivid and the brightness also helps to make it easy to read even in direct sunlight.
The straps included however is too short and I need to purchase additional straps.
I was able to set it up with ease when paring with Samsung S23 . It very responsive to touch without and delay.
I use the watch record my activity when running on treatmill. The distance recorded are very closed and that give me confident the accuracy when GPS signal is not available.

Really enjoying the new watch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new watch arrived promptly and has been really easy to set up to match with a Samsung Galaxy phone. It has been fairly intuitive to navigate its functions, and fun to explore all the health features. I like the clean design, and it is light weight and very comfortable to wear (including overnight). The battery lasts up to two days with continuous use, and takes about an hour to recharge. For phone calls, I am told the sound is of the same high quality as the phone. As a supplement to the phone, the watch is useful, functional, comfortable, and great value for money.

Good watch, with some issues
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch a week ago. Mostly happy with it. The design is great, the feel is very comfortable. The battery lasts just over a day which isn't the best, could possibly get longer using battery saver but who buys a watch to do that? Also I've had probiwith the sleep and energy score. It hasn't tracked me since purchase and I've tried every suggestion to resolve this issue. Cleaned sensor, changed arms, turn power saving on and off, reset watch, uninstalled and reinstalled apps and still no luck. I'm getting to the point where I might return to place of purchase.

Watch itself
I like the look of the new design, but I don't think the material is great as easily damaged.
Poor judgement on only giving a certain strap size on each device. They should be just the watch face and customer chooses, as women can't then buy the bigger watch face as they have smaller wrists. So having to pay out more money to get a strap.
Performance currently seems slow, not sure if it's building up, but currently not great.
I think the heartbrate sensors maybe better. But I think samsung should deal with Whoop, as there sensors and tracking for health are far more advanced

Watch 8 44mm review
Watch is nice and comfortable, nice bright screen. Additional health apps insightful, though jury's out on antioxidant as nearly everyone seems to be very low. Big disappointment is battery life, less than my watch 7 (both 44mm).

Well designed but useless device, useless support
I've only have this for a month and it is incapable of tracking sleep accurately with gaps in the data now each and every night.
When contacting Samsung for assistance they've been useless so far and more interested in trying to hand out 10% discount vouchers instead of actually fixing the problem.
Otherwise it's a good watch with easy setup, reasonable battery life and a good set of watch faces to choose from...if only it did what it was supposed to do, and Samsung support was more focused on fixing the problem.

A great upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive upgraded from the Watch 4, to the watch 7, and now the watch 8. And they just keep getting better and better.
My last one was 40mm, this time i went for the 44mm, and its much better
I love the fact that it has a running coach on it
Not too sure about the accuracy of the antioxidants bit though, as its tells me very low and to eat more fruit and veg, i practically live on fruit and home grown veg
Very comfortable, even if the standard strap is a little bit too long, and thinner than my last 2 watches
Unless theres any new MAJOR upgrades in the next few years, i cant see me updating from this one any time soon

Worth the money
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is a perfect match with my S25+. I love the design. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is thin, light, and feels good to wear.
Its screen is very bright, so you can see it clearly outside.
It has many health tools like sleep tracking, running help and it reminds me everytime that I have to stay active or that I have been staying in a place for too long
The battery lasts about one day and takes a while to charge.
Overall, it’s a nice smartwatch with smart features, but the battery is just okay. I wish it could lasts longer so I don't have to charge it every night.
But still it looks so good on my hand. Always a samsung fan.

Great to wear anytime
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the new watch 8 becasue of its style and functionality. It fits very well on my wrist nice and flat and is comfortable to wear. Its features truly stand out to me particularly the health features which is important to me. It is such a great buy that the only place I don't wear it is in the shower or when I go swimming ( although I know that it can be worn when doing so) - I just prefer to keep the watch as great as it is without getting wet.

Galaxy Watch 8 - A great purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very happy with my new Galaxy Watch 8! I've been wearing the Galaxy Watch 4 since that was released in 2021, but the Watch 8 feels much better on my wrist due to the new slimmer design, and it does feel like it brings up notifications a lot faster now, which is what I mainly use the watch for, and the design on my wrist looks a lot nicer with the silver accent than just the black circle, it looks much smarter. I charge every night, but I believe this would last a bit longer than one day if needed. I would definitely recommend purchasing the Watch 8!

Wow...love it!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a smart watch for a while but it was not a samsung. Wow! Why did it take me so long? The sleek design, the easy to navigate interface, the comfort when wearing this!! It really is an amazing watch. The sensors allow for accurate readings and I easily connected this to my phone. I really could just go on and on about this. Battery life is just over a day but I think thats because I'm testing everything out and wearing it over night too. Everything is customisable on the watch faces and there are just so many to choose from. I love this watch!!

Defeated all of its competitors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having the device for over a week, I can really tell that love my new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8. It has exceeded all of my expectations.
Although it may appear at first on a larger side, once it is on my wrist, it actually looks very sleek and slim. I went for the silicone band to make it good for every day use while still giving it a stylish, elegant look. I can change the display easily via the Samsung Wearable app – there is over 300 watch faces to choose from.
My main reason for the purchase was that, after a health scare earlier this year, I have become more interested in monitoring my health and well-being. This is where the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 beats all its competitors big time.
So far I have tested all the health tracking features and I feel that I now learned more about my body.
I can easily track my daily steps, heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep pattern, stress levels and even my moods and my cycle!
With the use of Samsung Health Monitor app, the watch can perform a quick ECG, blood pressure (upon prior calibration) and also check for signs of sleep apnea.
I also love it how the watch reminds me to move if it detected period of no activity for over an hour. If you cannot get up and move, it suggests performing some stretches and even counts them with you. Same with breathing exercises – you can do these with the watch’s guidance.
Apart from the extremely useful health monitoring, the watch is a perfect smartwatch. I can view and reply to text messages and also take calls easily. I am on the move a lot and not having to keep my phone in my hand all the time makes it so much easier.
As for the more technical features:
The display is great – so bright and crisp – I can see it so clearly even in bright sun outside.
The battery originally lasted me just over a day but with certain setting changes (AoD and on by wrist shake; sleep apnea monitoring off) I have managed to extend it to 2 days or so. The good thing is that the watch charges really quick – I tend to put it on charge while having shower and by the time I finish, the battery is fully charged.
The strap and buckle are so sturdy, once it is on the wrist, it is impossible to fall or come out by itself if buckled properly.
Overall, great smartwatch and I would definitely recommend to others.

Battery performance is not good
It has a beautiful design and is comfortable to wear, but the battery only lasts about 12 hours. I've disabled app notifications and GPS, but I can't get any better performance. I use the device to sleep and measure my blood oxygen. I usually sleep for 9 hours and charge the device before bed. When I wake up, I have to charge it again. Frustrating.

Beautiful design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it last month and I m loving it. Design is to good which makes it more noticeable as compare to previous model. As the screen is bit raised from the body, it makes it more attractive. I will recommend Graphite color as you can wear it with almost every color of dress or suit.

An improvement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as an upgrade for my wife who was on a Galaxy watch 6. She used the Galaxy Watch 6 daily, and the only problem with it was that the fitness tracking seemed to not be as accurate. As the the Galaxy watch 8 has a few improvements here, it seemed like the right move and it does seem to be more accurate. The Galaxy Watch 8 has been both exciting and, in some areas, surprising. While the jump isn't revolutionary, there are enough meaningful improvements to justify the upgrade. It seems faster, better at tracking and the battery also lasts longer. My wife also liked the style this has over previous generations with the change in shape.

Stylish all rounder
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smart watch immediately draws attention; I have already received a number of positive comments from my colleagues and family when I have been wearing this device over the last few days. It is sleek and contemporary, and also comfortable to wear.
The set up was really easy with my mobile phone, and the app integration was excellent. I am somebody who loves stats and data, so this watch is perfect for me. A longer battery life would be preferable. I would also love to have an ECG capture with the heart data. But overall, a great watch.

Beautiful upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Watch 8 to replace my Watch 4, which after quite a few years was starting to show signs of wear. Mainly, I wanted a better battery life, which the Watch 8 definitely delivers on. I now only charge every other day which is amazing! The 8 is also lighter, looks nicer and feels more comfortable on my wrist, it doesnt feel bulky at all, which is amazing considering all the upgrades to the display and AI features. Overall, I definitely recommend to everyone looking for an everyday smartwatch, you can't go wrong with the Watch 8.

Great all-round smart watch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 that I purchased has replaced the Galaxy Watch6 I had previously. The Watch8 feels immediately better, not only to wear, but in terms of design and quality. It was very easy to set-up, allowing me to transfer data from the Watch6 without any issues.
At the moment I am only a few days in to using the Galaxy Watch 8, but first impressions are great. The display seems like it's been improved in terms of colour and resolution (although I'm no expert). The features that I have used are intuitive and seem accurate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not worn a watch for many years. Took the plunge and went for the Watch8 mainly for Health and fitness and it did not disappoint.

Galaxy watch 8 review.
I'm new to smart watches, so it was important to me to get a watch that was easy to learn, and cover all the expectations of what a watch should be able to do. The galaxy 8 certainly lived up to my expectations. The ease of each feature surpassed my expectations. I was set up and ready to go, with no real problems. The features, and functions, helped me to love this watch. Battery life lasts about 3 days, which isnt bad! The watch face is clear, and it's my lifeline if by phone is at the bottom of my bag!!!!

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Bluetooth 40mm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Bluetooth 40mm on the a few weeks ago and have worn it every day since. It’s slim, lightweight, and very comfortable. The bright display is clear both indoors and outdoors, making it easy to check the time, fitness stats, or notifications at a glance.
I mostly use it for step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and sleep analysis. Workout modes are easy to start and provide helpful feedback.
Notifications, music control, and quick timers make daily tasks easier, and the Bluetooth connection has been smooth. Battery life lasts about two days, and charges quickly, so it’s always ready when I need it.
Highly recommend !

Watch8 - Great for heart/sleep monitoring
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I bought my Watch8 recently I have been very impressed. My Heart Specialist requested that I buy this particular Watch8 so that I can monitor my heart & sleep activity. I have been having fun trying out all of the features on the watch & have been enjoying the reports/information etc that my watch has given me. My Watch8 has also given me 'Peace of Mind' with the reminders and alarms to help my heart/sleep condition! I am also happy that whenever I go to my specialists and doctors that I can show him/her my report/s on my Watch8 for my heart/lungs/sleep apnea. My Watch8 gives me ease of mind as I know that the Watch8 alarm will call Emergency or let me know when to call Emergency when needed. I am soo happy with my Watch8 because of all of the features as well as exercise programs & eating habits/advice etc. To sum it up - I am very happy with my Watch8 purchase to monitor/check my heart & lungs health.

Not quite as I had expected.
I am enjoying this watch.
However, if wearing it overnight also, which I do, I barely get a full day out of the battery life.
Garmin watches do pretty much what Samsung do, but battery life is fantastic.
My son and daughter both have Garmin, so I feel battery life could be improved on Samsung.
The buzz vibration intensity is very low. All settings are turned to the highest possible setting, I have been through the with a Samsung advisor, there is nothing else I can turn on, or up, to increase the vibration.
I sometimes miss messages now, because of this, my previous, older classic model Samsung watch, had a stronger vibration which was much better.
Everything else with the watch is fine, just the above 2 issues.
