Android Central’s Take
Focusing on health has been Samsung’s MO with smartwatches for a while now. I remember the comments of one of my colleagues about this Galaxy Watch 8and he enjoyed it most of the time. One area where it felt like it could be better was battery life, and I have to agree. The good news is that Samsung says the Watch 9 has better battery life. The question is: how good?
