Galaxy Watch 8 (2025)

Interesting. Bedtime guidance is a solid addition. Not super jazzed about the other additions but they are welcome. I'm surprised the requirements are so high. GW7 and GW Ultra or later is steep for new features. The Antioxidant requiring you to take off the watch to measure is interesting too. Wond

Yes the galaxy watch has quick access to Samsung health available in oneui to measure body composition check the exercise intensity stress levels and the gw8 has antioxidant index. For me the most important are the sleep coaching and the exercise tracker 👏🔥

Get rid of the 7. Starting from watch 8, samsung has added dual band gps which is a big deal if you are into running because it locks on to your location faster and gives you a more accurate distance traveled. I have a watch 6 which is the same as the 7 and due to the poor gps, sometimes i am breaki

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 that never leaves my wrist, unless to charge. I also take my phone with me, and use an APP called Pacer. I've tried several, and this is APP is the best free one out there. The GW8 is on its way, and I've heard that it is better than the GW7 but I'll probably skip ove

Of the 6 different Samsung watch models I've owned (inclusive Ultra) I can honestly say the watch 8 Classic is my favourite. Perfect blend of functionality and style, great for both casual and smart.

I've had a Samsung watch from every generation starting from the gear S3. I really liked the more classic look. The 7 series was the first time I got something below the top of the line because the Ultra was just so ugly. I was so excited to get the 8 classic until I saw it. I know people say it loo

The Galaxy Watch 6 should be more than fine for you. I use my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic for simple sports tracking like jogging twice a week or basic home workouts, lots of AI stuff with Gemini, WhatsApp, Spotify, mobile payments, the heatlh functions, translations, or navigation with Google Maps… and

Running Coach is being gate-keeped behind GW8 (no idea for GW7 since in their presser, Samsung did wrote it'll be available for GW7). Prior to the One UI 8 Watch update, I still have running coach on my GW6 44mm watch but it's no longer accessible on the phone's Samsung Health app Now on the latest

Thanks for the sharing. Glad that Samsung is not gatekeeping the newer features for the GW8 series.

I don't really know the Tizen (pre-WearOS) stuff. I should point out that Tizen for snartwatches is no longer being developed. So if you want a modern smartwatch that will run Alexa for WearOS and much else besides, then a Pixel watch or Samsung GW7 or GW8 would be a better way to go. IMO of course.
