With the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, health, fitness, and notification functionality all come together in a sleek 40mm Bluetooth-enabled smartwatch. This watch has a round 1.3-inch display in a soft case that molds to your wrist, while its light-weight, armor-aluminum body makes it feel neither heavy nor cumbersome. Additionally, this watch includes 32GB of memory for storing faces, apps, and music, and GPS for tracking outdoor runs and walks. With Wear OS, powered by Samsung, the watch syncs with your Android phone, allowing app connectivity, tap-to-pay payment processing, and alert notifications directly on the watch. Thus, this watch integrates seamlessly into existing technology rather than requiring you to learn new ways to interact.

A feature-rich smartwatch with a swath of fitness sensors
Samsung’s advanced sleep features provide insights beyond the typical hours slept metric. Sleep Coaching uses your sleep pattern history to suggest ways to improve your rest. Bedtime Guidance helps you set a bedtime window for winding down. The watch also tracks overnight sleep as it goes through different stages and monitors overall sleep quality. An Energy Score, powered by Galaxy AI, takes yesterday’s sleep, activity, and heart rate data and combines them into a single number that reflects how energized you are.
Beyond tracking the number of steps you take, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 offers more comprehensive health and fitness tracking capabilities. Its built-in Running Coach evaluates your running performance and provides real-time feedback during your run. If desired, you can also select structured training plans focused on reaching specific distance goals, such as 5K or marathon training. In addition to tracking, the watch continuously monitors your heart rate throughout the day and can flag readings that fall outside normal ranges. Finally, the watch monitors vascular load, which measures how hard your body is working. This allows you to identify patterns that may relate to stressful events, poor sleep, or overtraining.
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 has been updated to create a slimmer, lighter watch that disappears on your wrist. The cushion-style design and snug fit allow the sensors to sit closer to your skin, potentially providing more accurate heart and sleep data. A bright, clear display makes the watch readable outdoors, and the compact 40mm case paired with a sporty strap creates a low-profile appearance that works both during workouts and after hours.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 becomes a personal assistant that stays connected to you even when your phone is out of reach. The watch now includes a more intuitive user interface, with sports scores, news, weather, and other quick-glance tiles that you can easily view on your wrist. Improved battery life aims to keep the watch active throughout the day, including for health tracking, alerts, and AI tools. Fast charging capabilities enable a short stop at a charger to add hours of additional usage to the watch, which is available today on Amazon for just $280, down from $350.
