Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic Noir 46 mm

Along with upgrading my S24 ultra to the Galaxy Z fold 8 ultra, I also opted to upgrade my watch 4 classic to the watch 8 classic. Screen is a little bigger which is really nice to have, and much more easy to use. I didn't get the watch 9 as I like the classic look and didn't want to wait whether next year's watch will be called the watch 10 classic or go totally different. Very responsive and the classy look really makes it look like a nice watch compared to other smart watched that are more boxy. 1 thing I don't like however, is the squircle. I think it looks ugly and useless. I hope they get rid of it and go back to the circular watch style.

I have never worn a watch consistently and this is my first smart watch. Weight is not an issue. I wear it for many CrossFit workouts and cannot tell it's there. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering this watch. The ability to customize the face to suite me is a major plus as well.

I have had the watch for about a week, using it with a Watch 6. I prefer the rotating bezel as I think it provides a bit more protection for the watch face. I use the watch to record exercise activities. My all-motion trainer has a built-in heart rate monitor. The watch is always within one or two beats per minute compared to it. I also use the watch to read text messages and, occasionally, to respond. Great for controlling streaming music playback. I haven't tried out some of the other features except Samsung Health insights.

Great watch 8 classic works like a charm. Apps work good and has my car apps also.

Only 24hr. battery life. Will not connect to my galaxy phone rendering all the features about my health, absolutely useless. I'm taking the watch back in the hope I can get a full refund. Why do you sell something with such a poor battery life when my wife has a phone and watch with at least 3 weeks battery life on each.
