Quality Watch & Good Performance!
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.

love it
So far, so great. The fit is very comfortable and the band is adjustable. i will be buying different bands. It is an excellent value for the money and is worth every penny. i love Samsung products because they are very functional. It has so many different functions that makes it easy to connect to my phone and follow my fitness. so far, it is very durable and the color is nice. I love the way that it looks.

Highly functional
I have had this watch about 10 days now and got it particularly so that I could give up my medical alert for emergencies. It’s a large watch face; so if you have very thin arms, it might not be for you. On the other hand, it is easy to read and contains a LOT of information. I love gadgets and keep changing the app accesses to find what I think I will use most first. If you aren’t into a complicated setup, you should either get your grandchild to set it up or get a simpler watch! The band that comes with it is okay–a little short but it did fit and was comfortable. I wound up buying face protectors and a new band. The biggest disappointment is that it has a really unusual charger and it takes over an hour each day to charge it. This is not something that can be easily replaced if the charger fails. Maybe Watch 9 will have a more standard charger.

Comfortable, powerful, and surprisingly a good fit for small wrists
I’m really loving my Samsung Watch 8! It’s surprisingly comfortable, even on my small wrists, and doesn’t feel bulky or heavy at all. The band fits well and the watch stays in place without sliding around.One of my favorite features is the blood oxygen monitor—I love being able to easily check my levels throughout the day after a COVID scare.I also love how customizable it is, from the watch faces to the widgets and settings. It feels super personal and easy to use right out of the box. The silver and white look great and not too sporty.

Still doesn’t measure heart rate while in motion
It’s a fitness watch. What do you mean I have to engage measure continuously to get my health metrics tracked? This wouldn’t be a big deal if Samsung would fix the atrocious battery life. Instead, they stuffed 64 gigs of internal memory in this thing, for some reason.And instead of fixing the battery life or adding a function that says “measure heart rate every 10 mins, even while in motion”, they came up with genuinely the stupidest method for attaching watch straps I have ever seen.I figured out though that if you use wire cutters, you can cut the watch strap off, and then you can clamp through the spring bar inside, through the silicone. The silicone is too stiff to get a watch band removal tool in there, so using wire cutters is the easiest method. So, you’re destroying the stock strap.Now, you can use a 22mm watch strap of your choosing, though, and you don’t have to buy aftermarket adapters or ever take these adapters off for any reason.Why silicone to begin with?? It’s stiff, heavy, doesn’t breathe, uncomfortable.So far, the tracking has been wonky. It thought I fell asleep an hour and a half earlier than I actually did just because I was lying in bed watching TV, and instead of logging the 3 miles I ran, it logged 1.5 miles. It allowed me to edit the distance, but this stupid app thinks I ran the 3rd mile by running 20 mph.Sometimes doesn’t track my sleep if the watch isn’t sitting just perfectly in the right spot.Sometimes thinks I’m asleep just because I am sitting on the couch watching TV or playing video games.I’m convinced Samsung peaked at the watch 3 and have stopped caring since. They just need to push out a new model with the same frequency to compete with apple.

A Smartwatch for Traditional Watch Enthusiasts
I’ve had the watch for about a week, and I am impressed so far. I am a traditional watch guy and was skeptical about a smartwatch. The classic design makes this watch look more like a traditional dive watch vs. a piece of tech on your arm. My wife wanted me to have a smartwatch for health monitoring. This watch is perfect for that, a good combination of function and design. I really like the health and fitness features – my natural competitiveness is already motivating me to achieve better numbers all around. One watch-out, the full suite of health and fitness features require a Samsung phone – I got a new phone to support my new watch (with trade-in value it was not too bad a hit). I have to get used to charging the watch regularly which I don’t have to do with a traditional watch – lunch time seems to be a good window for me. Overall, I am very happy with the watch.

Comfortable. Responsive. Fun.
This watch meets and surpasses all expectations. It’s a bit on the pricy side, but the style is elegant, the software is great, and it’s incredibly comfortable to wear.The squircle design is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I feel that it looks great. It’s not even the slightest bit distracting. I don’t know why people on the internet are crying about it.Great watch.

10/10 Samsung got it perfect !
Huge step up from my Samsung Watch 4. It’s very light weight but still feels premium and also feels really comfortable. Screen is surprised really bright and the quality very clear. Well worth the buy, Samsung did a great job on this generation 10/10
