If last year’s Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 was tried and true, this year’s Galaxy Watch 8 is a bit more like tried and fine. The battery is a skosh bigger in the Galaxy Watch 8, but we’re talking 325mAh compared to last year’s 300mAh for the 40mm model. The telling thing is Samsung’s most significant wearable innovation in recent memory was last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Ring. When I wrote my Galaxy Watch 6 review two years ago, I asked how long Samsung could continue to coast. To use the Galaxy Watch 8, you must pair it with an Android phone.
