Samsung Galaxy Watch 8

M Men's Health UK Ryan Dabbs · reviewer · Nov 2025

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 isn’t a magic fix. You still have to want to make the change. But it gives you the extra push everyone needs now and then – along with clear, digestible data to back it up. Think of it as a personal trainer on your wrist, quietly reminding you to do that extra rep. There’s plenty of measurable progress to be made, but the real benefit is how it makes you more aware of your health. Even focusing on one area – sleep, stress, or nutrition – can bring steady, lasting improvement.

But the review device I’ve spent the past 3 weeks with turned out to be a capable, fun and surprisingly attractive wearable.

The screen looks amazing, the animations are really fast and the watch feels great on my wrist. I didn’t expect to like it this much. If anyone here has been using it for a while, tell me what features I should try out or any settings that make the experience better. I’m also open to watch face suggestions. Just wanted to share my excitement. Loving this thing already.

So, I think that that's an improvement of design. It's a new band attachment system as well.

I’ve been wearing the Galaxy Watch 8 since it arrived, and to my surprise, I haven’t taken it off. It’s packed with new features, and I even tested it in ways I normally wouldn’t, such as walking under a blazing 42°C sun just to see how its bright 3,000-nit display holds up. Here’s my complete review of what it’s like to live with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8.

Now, I've already dropped my full review for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and I expressed how pleased I was with it.

T TechRadar Article · Mar 2026

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic looks great and boasts a suite of useful health and fitness-tracking tools that make it an excellent smartwatch (and a device I can't see myself without even after just two weeks with it). To snag this low price at Argos, remember to use code RED30 .

Well, everyone, it's time for us to go and show you exactly how to go ahead and use your Samsung Galaxy Watch 8. Now, the thing I will definitely tell you is that the Galaxy Watch 8 is a beautiful watch. It is so nice looking and it is the latest and greatest from Samsung. So, you're going to have a long time of basically just amazing use from this particular watch

T Trusted Reviews Gian Estrada · reviewer · Apr 2026

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is built to answer that question properly, and right now it has dropped to £249 from its usual £319, saving you £70 in a sale that is explicitly time-limited.

Within the Galaxy Watch 8, this is still a very good build quality of a watch. It's a little bit of a newer type of design cuz they kind of went from this circular design to this cushion design, I guess that's what they call it. It's like a squared circle, and it does look pretty good. It looks more unique in a way.

E Expert Reviews Andrew Williams · reviewer · Sept 2025

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is the Korean brand’s entry-level smartwatch for 2025, but comes with a higher starting price than its predecessors, making it less of a budget option.

So with that enabled, which you would assume would really kill the battery pretty quickly, I was actually able to get a day in about 17 hours of battery life, which is pretty impressive in my opinion, especially considering the size. And this did include one night of sleep tracking, but no exercise tracking. And I was using it pretty lightly as well, checking occasional notifications, but I wasn't sending messages or taking phone calls with the watch.

T Tech in Deep Article · Sept 2025

Packed with new health features, sleek design refinements, and improved battery life, this watch isn’t just an accessory—it’s a powerful health and productivity tool.

So in my opinion, I'd say that's pretty good battery life. I know there's other watches out there that can get three, four, maybe even a week long of battery life, but many of them are also much thicker than the Galaxy Watch. Either that or they're significantly more expensive or they may be missing some features that the Galaxy Watch has.

This device is quite easy to set up and personalize a little better than the rest. This device is very simple to use for everyday use and comfort.

Now, as you might have seen in my initial review, the heart rate tracking looks surprisingly good on the Galaxy Watch 8, but also on the updated Galaxy Watch 7.

The Google Pixel Watch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 — specifically the Classic edition — are the best smartwatches for Android users in 2025.

P PEDESTRIAN.TV Alyssa Forato · reviewer · Sept 2025

But hey, if you value in-depth health tracking and want a device that can basically do it all, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 is that diva.

S Shane Symonds Shane Symonds · 340K subscribers · Jul 2025

I am super excited for this larger model of this watch 8 specifically because if you compare this to the Galaxy Watch 8 40mm, the smaller one, and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, this 44mm Watch 8 has benefits over both of these.

D Driven Car Guide Damien O’Carroll · reviewer · Oct 2025

The Galaxy Watch 8 is easily Samsung's most accomplished watch yet. I still don't like it in white though.

S SamMobile SamMobile · 218K subscribers · Jul 2025

Like I sort of spoke about in hands-on, this thing is sleek. It is thin and light. and they've sort of adopted that sort of squareish design around the screen like they have for the Ultra. Now, I'm assuming there's a band in here. So, I'll take this top part out. And lo and behold, there's the band. So, we'll take that out. Get rid of all the box stuff cuz we don't need it.

Samsung’s latest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 8, brings a bold new design and smarter health features

And that's one of the biggest reasons why this watch feels so great on your wrist while you're sleeping, working, or just sitting around. Something else that feels good on your skin are the straps. Now, I can only share my thoughts about the sport straps since those are the only ones that I have, but these ones feel very good on your skin. It is not itching while you're working out. They got a clean and smooth top side, and on the bottom side, you will have that soft wave pattern.

It also feels so much more premium than the regular Galaxy watches of old. Basically, ever since the Galaxy Watch 4, they've all felt quite plasticky and a little bit flimsy.

And in some of these arenas, it's gotten a lot better. In other parts, not so much.

T The Mobile Indian Abhishek Malhotra · reviewer · Aug 2025

While I have a Watch 6 Classic and a Galaxy Watch 4 as well, I think this one looks significantly better than the Watch 4, but it falls short of the 6 Classic in terms of design.

👀 Spoiler: It's gorgeous and fast… but don’t expect good battery life or a real upgrade from Watch 7.

And seriously, Samsung, like why make such an amazing watch and put a garbage battery inside of it? Such a missed opportunity, but anyways, let's talk about software. It's powerful, smooth, and packed with features, but I still think it can feel busier than it needs to be. When UI Watch 8, which is the latest my watch is running, gives you tiles, health cards, apps, complications, shortcuts, and plenty of customization.
