Good
I bought this mainly for sleep tracking and it works great. I just wish battery lasts longer so I can 'turn on' screen 24/7

Extremely short battery life.
Battery doesn't last a half day. I am not sure why it is too short. I checked website and other instructions but I set everything is right. I am considering the return.

Significant upgrade from the Watch6
The watch feels like it fits better than the watch6 I had. It feels like it conforms to my arm better/more comfortably. I really like the extra "Health" features it allows within the Samsung Health app like Labs. It seems like I'm finding new features all the time with this watch. Well worth the upgrade.
Thanks Samsung!

4 out 5 Stars
This is my 3 week review. I love my watch classic 8. The one thing i dont like is the band. It sticks to my skin and with sweaters/hoodies it pushes back on my forearm. When not noticing it makes my wrist hurt.

Great quality
The watch is good quality with many handy features. The size is a bit larger that my previous 44mm galaxy watch but still fit my mid size wrist. Overall, I really like this watch.

The Samsung Galaxy watch 8 makes my life easier.
The most recent iteration of the Galaxy Smartwatch pulls out all of the stops offering an attractive watch with an abundance of helpful features. It connects easily with my phone, car and earbuds providing seamless communication and data exchanges. The fitness settings and features are especially impressive.

Not impressed
I bought this watch after owning both Watch 4 Classic and Watch 6 Classic. I have to say that after owning the previous Classic watches, I am very disappointed with the Watch 8 Classic. The battery life is about twice that of the Watch 6 Classic, but that is about the only saving feature. The processor is supposed to be faster, but it's not apparent with most of what I ...

Great Watch
I shifted away from Samsung watches with my last one being the Galaxy 5 - went to 2 high-end Garmin watches. While happy with the Garmins, particularly the battery time, I am completely impressed with the Samsung, particularly the LTE service to make and receive calls.

Galaxy watch 8 classic
This new galaxy watch is great there's so much it can do and I haven't begun to dive into the main element yet. I really like the watch and the Samsung rep that helped me to make this happen thanks to all.

Great Watch
The battery life lasts for a little over 3 days of constant wear. It has all the functions i love from my Galaxy 4 Classic. The rotating bezel is nice and smooth and the watch looks great.

Great. Would love a bit more battery
This is my third Samsung watch in their evolution. I've liked every watch for their functions and tailorability of watch faces. My only quibble with them is that their flexibility and performance comes with the need for nearly daily recharging. Admittedly, recharging is fast. Because they're relatively inexpensive, I bought additional chargers for travel bag and office....

Very happy with this purchase!
I had an old Galaxy Watch 3 that I upgraded from. I wanted to Galaxy 8 Classic because I am a huge fan of the rotating bezel I had on my 3. For me this upgrade is substantial for several reasons.
The first, the battery life is pretty decent. I can run this for two solid days and I generally spend 60-90 minutes a day in workout mode. I pop it on the charger each n...

You don't know what you don't know
Bought for my huband and he loves it. he does a lot of work from his phone and sometimes he will open his phone to see a text but falls down the rabbit hole into work during afterhours. Receiving text on his watch has slowed this down and has been a benifit to his daily life.

The Time is right!
This is my 3rd Galaxy Watch Classic in the lineup and, this one is the best yet, in terms of battery life, appearance and overall functionality. I am very pleased with the product. My Watch 6, from new had a tendency to not charge fully overnight or, frequently overheat during charging. this Watch 8 is leaps ahead. the appearance is elegant. I have it in silver.
