When it comes to health metrics, the Galaxy Watch 8 can track just about everything you do. It features a running coach, heart rate tracking, and an Advanced Sleep Coach that assigns you a sleep animal based on how you snooze (which is kind of fun, IMO). Plus, it’s the very first smartwatch to run Google Gemini AI right on the watch face, and it features a unique squircle design (a round face on a rounded-square base) that sits thinner and flatter on your wrist.
“In theory, if you follow the advice of the watch without outright dismissing it, it can help you live a better life,” writes Doud. “And you’ll look good doing it.”
