Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Review: stuck in a familiar orbit


If it was last year Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Try and correctly, this year this year this year is very tried and fine.

This is not public bad. Most of the beginners in smart watches will be happy with Galaxy Watch $ 349.99 – provided that they can from the new Squirlex design stomach. More than that if you are a fan of Samsung smart watches, it seems that Samsung may be somewhat restored or less than safe, and can be relied upon with gradual adjustments Galaxy Watch 5. Aside from Gemini, there is not much here that moves Android Smartwatches to the front. Really, on the side of the devices of things, YouTube It is the main conversation point in Galaxy Watch.

Goodness

  • Al -Sarouf Numa Ali
  • It is a good smart watch
  • I see the vision of Gemini on the wrist

Bad

  • Some people will never love columns
  • High prices, in this economy?! No thank you
  • Gemini on the wrist is sometimes stupid

Let me get this out of the road. Yes, I have read all your ponds in the comments about how Squircle is aesthetic sin. When I first saw the pictures of Galaxy Watch 8, she screamed internally and called it “only a monitoring interface that a mother can love”. Although I always look at Haterade’s Kendrick Lamar levels, I must tell you that Galaxy Watch 8 is barely noticeable on the wrist. Liberation and silver and white narration of my review unit may create a visual illusion, or maybe Samsung has been sweet to throw high -level Stockholm syndrome on the eyes of the eyes. I do not hate al -Sarouf this Watch, and I think you will not do it either.

as Why This Samsung did, I am sorry, but its causes have functional credit. the hour He is Squeeze, sits against your skin, and more comfortable.

Specifications, you don’t get anything that Galaxy Watch 7 did not already have. The processor is the same, as is a vital active sensor. The battery is the largest Skosh in the Galaxy Watch 8, but we are talking 325 mAh per hour compared to 300 mAh last year for a 40 mm model. (The largest 44 mm watch gets a smaller battery stumbling block; 435 mAh per hour compared to 425 mAh per hour.) This means that the battery life has not changed relatively. You still need to charge daily, but from a stories, Galaxy Watch 8 is trusted to get today and then, even with the screen always enabled. The screen is also brighter with a maximum of 3000 groups to 2000 groups, but I haven’t seen a big difference, even under direct sunlight.

I am largely agreed with my colleague Alison Johnson Gemini initial impressions on the wrist. The savior can be when your hands are full or do not want to get out of your phone. I am less interested in responding to Gemini inquiries. The clouds for me is that Gemini can handle the most complex and sequence tasks and demands. But as with all artificial intelligence, the more complicated the task, the more experience and error you need to endure.

While photographing these pictures, I asked Gemini “search for near cafes and send them to Amelia on Slack.” He gave me two suggestions 40 Away and then told me that it was not integrated with Slack yet, so I couldn’t send this message. Obus. It was directed to create a K-POP operating menu for 30 minutes “decent, even if she included some songs that were not K-POP. I prompted Gemini until I told me to have an umbrella at any time when it rains in my current location. That was less successful. You can save Gemini in her memory that I do not like the rain. He is skilled in telling me if I asked. Remembering an umbrella when I ask if it is rain.

Gemini is promising if You are patient enough to try. Sometimes, I sit watching Gemini doing something and thinking, “it will be much faster if I I just did this. “My intuition is that the people who” get “from artificial intelligence will enjoy the experience.

Offer a person who asks Gemini to create a run-off operating menu on the basis of K-POP. There is a bowl of fruit in the background in the left top corner

Gemini carries a promise for people who love to try what artificial intelligence can do. Also, you really don’t notice this Squircle.

Meanwhile, the new health features are a mixed bag. There is an antioxidant indicator that measures whether you eat enough fruits and vegetables by discovering carotenoids in your skin. I wrote DeeperBut less than that is his deception with Cheez-IT, a piece of cauliflower, and BlackBerry that exploded, staining irreversible parts of this purple watch. Have you increased eating fruits and vegetables in the pursuit of this feature? Yes, of course. It may be useful to put the level when you start a new diet, but I think most people will forget to use this as soon as the grandmother fades. Also, do you need a smart watch to tell you to eat more fruits and vegetables? Maybe not.

Another new feature is vascular pregnancy. decent. The idea is to monitor the extent of your vascular system (also known as your veins) when sleeping and comparing it with certain factors such as the duration of sleep or exercise. This is a mysterious scale. A stressful vascular system may indicate … worse health? A higher possibility of chronic disease? Samsung is mysterious here because it is under the wide canopy of the features of wellness. The good or bad result is not aimed at telling you anything other than “checking the recent lifestyle choices.”

I loved the running trainer program more. You start with a 12 -minute test test, and you are graded at one level to 10. I felt bored when he considered me, hostility with a decade of experience, at a bleak level. In fairness, this test is greatly accelerated. The weather is hot as the balls here, and I keep things slow and fixed after a few recent injuries. After the ego deviation, I say this was a fair assessment of the place I am now, based on the program that I created for me. I am currently in the middle of the injuries recovery program, but After seeing my plan and different levels, I found that the exercises were well organized.

Despite the successful health features or the opening, I confirm that this is a great smart watch, even if I don’t like the high price of $ 50. It is more than this mixture of promotions does not feel convinced.

The near thing is that the most important innovation of Samsung, which can be worn in modern memory was last year Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy. Even so, the first felt that he copied the home Apple duties. The latter had played the ecosystem clear. I found Galaxy Watch Fe Disappointing, but at least Samsung was shaking things. Against this chaos, it was easier to estimate the Galaxy Watch 7 adhering to its weapons. In the year when Squircle presented last year and Amnesty International assistant made by another company, your big updates, and your rifles adhere to it looks like a recession.

When I wrote my country Galaxy Watch 6 Review Two years ago, I asked about the period that Samsung could continue in the coast. It is Bomer to sit here, after two years, thinking about the same question.

Agree to follow -up: Samsung Galaxy Watch 8

Each smart device now requires approval of a series of conditions and conditions before you can use them – contracts that no one already read. It is impossible for us to read and analyze each of these agreements. But we started calculating the number of times that you should strike “approval” on the use of devices when we review them because these agreements do not read most people and certainly cannot negotiate.

To use Galaxy Watch 8, you must associate it with Android. This includes any service conditions or privacy policies required by the phone. For Samsung and Wear OS 6, you will have five mandatory agreements.

There are also many optional permits for features that may use sound, site or camera. If you download an external application, such as Strava or Call, you will have to agree to their conditions and share your health data with them as well. You may also have to agree to the Samsung Pay conditions for service policies and privacy policies if you choose to use this service. You may also have to give additional permissions if you choose Samsung Health Monitor for EKG readings.

The final number: six mandatory agreements and many optional permissions and agreements.
