The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 remains a top contender in smartwatch comparisons more than a year after its launch. The 40 mm Bluetooth version in graphite color is currently available on Amazon for Prime members at 214.99 €, which includes a 25 W wall charger. Originally priced at 379.99 €, the watch is now discounted by 15 € using the code FRPRIME15, making it significantly more affordable. This version is designed for Android users who want a versatile smartwatch for tracking workouts, sleep, and overall health, without needing a specialized sports watch. The Galaxy Watch8 features an aluminum case that is 8.6 mm thick, a 1.34-inch AMOLED screen, and a feature called the Gemini assistant, which helps with tasks and interactions. It includes two AI-powered coaches: one for running that calculates a user's maximum aerobic speed (VMA) and suggests routes, and another for sleep that recommends bedtime and wake-up times. The watch also provides detailed health tracking, including heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, SpO2 levels, body composition, and an antioxidant index. Its screen is optimized for outdoor use, with a brightness of up to 3,000 nits and protection from sapphire glass, which is scratch-resistant. However, the Galaxy Watch8 has a relatively short battery life, lasting only about two days and requiring daily recharging. It is not compatible with Apple's iOS operating system, and some features, like ECG monitoring, require the Samsung Health Monitor app. The 40 mm model weighs just 30 grams, making it lightweight for everyday wear. The watch is currently priced below the reference price of around 229 € mentioned in various comparisons, but non-Prime members would pay 229.99 € instead of the discounted rate. The Galaxy Watch8 faces competition from the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Huawei Watch GT 7 Pro. The Huawei model offers a much longer battery life, lasting between 15 to 21 days, while the Apple Watch remains the only option for iPhone users. The Galaxy Watch8 stands out with its AI coaches for running and sleep, a high-brightness AMOLED screen, comprehensive health tracking, and a 25 W wall charger. However, its limitations include the need for daily charging, incompatibility with iPhone devices, and reliance on the Samsung ecosystem for some features. Overall, it is recommended for Android users, especially those who own Galaxy smartphones, who are looking for a smartwatch that combines running and sleep tracking with detailed health monitoring.
