Smartwatches have a singular advantage over other devices: around-the-clock connectivity. Connectivity to you, that is. Your phone is in your pocket; your earbuds are only worn when you’re listening to something. But a smartwatch rides on your wrist, with brief breaks for charging. Which makes it an ideal health tracking device.
Now, with the debut of the Galaxy Watch 8, Samsung has gone all in on health metrics from your watch. From activity to sleep to stress levels to body composition, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 can track just about everything you do. (Who needs a fitness tracker?) It takes a holistic approach to determine how you’re feeling and how it can help you feel better.
Data isn’t great unless you present it in a way that makes sense and feels actionable. Samsung’s approach is getting to be very good. I’ve been using a 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (the smallest one) for 10 days; here are my thoughts so far.
