The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 offers a familiar experience, with incremental updates rather than groundbreaking innovation. While newcomers to smartwatches may appreciate the $349.99 device, long-time Samsung smartwatch users might find it a bit repetitive since the Galaxy Watch 5. The most notable design change is the squircle shape. Aside from Gemini integration, the Watch 8 doesn't significantly advance the Android smartwatch landscape, focusing instead on reliable performance and minor enhancements.
