Fazit: Software-wise it gives up nothing to the Watch 8 Classic, and the more minimal looks will probably appeal to a wider audience, but the Galaxy Watch 8 otherwise feels like a safe bet sequel. There's little here we haven't seen before, while rivals have it...
- Pros
- Up-to-date OS is stuffed with features
- Health and fitness tracking is extensive
- Fresh styling also boosts protection
- Cons
- 40mm model barely lasts a day per charge
- New strap mounting mechanism is fiddly
- Not a huge generational leap in power or features
