Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 30,000, brand new and sealed. It pairs a 1.47-inch Super AMOLED screen at 480 x 480 pixels with a 435mAh battery, the Exynos W1000 chip, 2GB RAM and 32GB of storage. The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 runs Wear OS 6 with One UI 8 Watch, and its sapphire crystal face reaches 3000 nits in direct sun. At 34g and 8.6mm thick, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm stays comfortable on a larger wrist. See it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for professionals across Kenya who live on their phones, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm puts calls, messages and reminders where a glance is enough. Sales teams moving between clients in Westlands and Industrial Area, doctors on ward rounds and field engineers on site often cannot pull out a phone. The larger screen makes replies, maps and Gemini voice requests easier to read and tap. The bigger battery also means fewer top-ups when KPLC cuts power for an evening. Health tracking covers heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature and sleep, all logged in Samsung Health on your Android phone.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that leave buyers to sort out faults alone, Mascom International backs the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 with a 12-month warranty claimed at our Nairobi CBD desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us the 44mm is easier to read while walking or driving, which is why many pick it over the 40mm for just KSh 1,000 more. Please note that recent Galaxy watches pair only with Android phones, not iPhone. Walk in on Kimathi Street to try both sizes side by side, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival.
Common Questions About the Samsung Galaxy Watch8
What is the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm price in Kenya?
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm sells for KSh 30,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price covers a 12-month warranty, the wireless charging puck and pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. It sits just KSh 1,000 above the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 40mm at KSh 29,000. For the extra money you get a larger screen and a bigger battery, while the chip, storage and software stay the same. Colours are Graphite or Silver, subject to stock on the day.
Should you pick the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm or the 40mm?
Pick the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm for a larger wrist and longer time between charges, and the 40mm for a slim wrist. The 44mm carries a 1.47-inch, 480 x 480 screen and a 435mAh battery, against a 1.34-inch, 438 x 438 screen and 325mAh on the 40mm. That is about a third more stored charge. The 44mm weighs 34g against 30g. Both share the Exynos W1000 chip, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, sapphire crystal and IP68 sealing. Try both on at Mascom International, since the right fit matters more than the extra charge.
Will the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm keep going through a KPLC power cut?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm carries a 435mAh battery, the larger of the two Samsung Galaxy Watch8 sizes, so a short blackout rarely matters. If the lights stay off longer, its USB-C charging puck plugs into a power bank or a laptop's USB-C port. Turning off the always-on display and continuous tracking stretches what is left. Many buyers in estates hit by frequent outages keep a small power bank for the phone and watch together. A full charge before evening keeps time, alarms and tracking running through the blackout.
Can you answer calls on the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm in Kenya?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm answers calls on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom through your paired Android phone over Bluetooth. The watch has its own speaker and microphone, so a short call works without touching the phone. Our stock is the Bluetooth model, so it needs no SIM plan of its own. Keep the phone within the same room or office for a steady connection. Missed calls, SMS and app alerts arrive on the wrist too, and quick replies let you answer with a preset line or by voice.
What can Gemini do on the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm?
Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm takes spoken requests, such as setting a reminder, sending a message or starting a workout. You hold the side button and speak in plain English, then read the answer on the 1.47-inch screen. It needs an internet connection through your phone or Wi-Fi to work. Drivers and riders find this useful, since a quick voice request beats tapping a small display. It can also summarise a long message or check the weather before you head out. Gemini replies best to short, specific requests.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm comfortable to sleep in?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm weighs 34g and is 8.6mm thick, so most medium and large wrists wear it overnight without trouble. Overnight it logs sleep stages, blood oxygen, heart rate and skin temperature changes. Samsung Health then turns those readings into a sleep score on your phone each morning. Loosen the band one notch at night if it feels tight. If your wrist is slim, the 40mm will feel lighter in bed. Charge it during your morning shower so it is ready for the next night.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm good for doctors, engineers and sales staff?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm suits people whose hands are busy but who cannot miss a call or alert. Doctors can glance at a page during rounds, engineers on site can read a message with gloves half on, and sales staff can check the next meeting in a lift. The larger screen fits longer messages on one view. Silent vibration alerts mean a ringing phone never interrupts a patient consultation or a client pitch. NFC tap-to-pay works where your bank card supports Google Wallet or Samsung Wallet.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm right for you, or should you skip it?
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm is right for Android users with medium or large wrists who want calls, apps and full health tracking. Skip it if your budget stops near KSh 20,000; the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE costs KSh 19,500 and covers the basics. Prefer a dressier steel watch with a turning bezel? The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic is KSh 39,500. Want the newest chip? The Samsung Galaxy Watch9 44mm is KSh 42,000. iPhone owners need an Apple Watch.
Technical Specifications
Display
- 1.47-inch Super AMOLED screen, 480 x 480 pixels — room for longer messages, bigger map arrows and fuller workout screens.
- Pixel density near 327 per inch — text edges look smooth, even when reading a long WhatsApp message at arm's length.
- Up to 3000 nits of peak brightness — the face stays legible outdoors at noon, when dimmer watch screens wash out.
- Sapphire crystal glass — a tough, clear material that resists the everyday scuffs that mark ordinary watch glass.
- Always-on mode — keeps the time and chosen data on screen, though it draws extra power through the day.
- Touchscreen keyboard and voice input — type a quick reply, or dictate it when your hands are busy with something else.
Health Sensors and Tracking
- BioActive sensor array — reads optical heart rate, electrical heart signals and body composition from one module on the back.
- SpO2 blood oxygen readings — show how well oxygen moves through your blood, most useful overnight and on high ground.
- Skin temperature tracking — spots overnight shifts that may signal a coming cold, poor recovery or cycle changes.
- Antioxidant index — a short thumb-press test on the sensor that hints at your intake of fruit and vegetables.
- Motion and position sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, altimeter and compass — they count steps, detect hard falls and log elevation.
- Sleep stage tracking with a morning score — shows light, deep and REM sleep, the dreaming stage, so you can adjust bedtime.
Battery and Charging
- 435mAh cell — the larger Samsung Galaxy Watch8 battery, about a third more stored charge than the 40mm's 325mAh cell.
- 10W wireless charging — set the watch on its magnetic puck; there is no charging port to trap dust or sweat.
- USB-C charging puck — runs from a phone adapter, a power bank or a laptop's USB-C port during an outage.
- Battery saving settings — turning off always-on display and constant tracking makes a charge last noticeably longer.
- 3nm Exynos W1000 chip — a smaller manufacturing process draws less power for each task, which helps every charge go further.
- Magnetic puck alignment — the watch snaps into the right spot by itself, so it charges correctly even in a dark room.
Connectivity and Network Support
- Bluetooth 5.3 with built-in speaker and microphone — take short calls on the wrist through your paired Android phone.
- Dual-band Wi-Fi, 2.4GHz and 5GHz — the watch stays synced on office or home Wi-Fi when the phone is elsewhere.
- GPS on L1 and L5 bands with GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou — accurate run and walk routes, even between tall buildings.
- NFC chip — contactless payments through Google Wallet or Samsung Wallet where your bank card is supported.
- Bluetooth model in stock — uses the network on your paired phone, so no second SIM line or extra monthly charge.
- Galaxy Wearable app on Android — handles setup, updates, watch faces and app installs from your phone's larger screen.
Build and Performance
- Armor Aluminum case at 8.6mm and 34g — sturdy enough for daily knocks yet light for a larger wrist.
- IP68 dust and 5ATM water rating — water pressure to 50 metres, so pools, showers and heavy rain are fine.
- MIL-STD-810H compliance — passes a US military test set for shock, heat and humidity, but it is still not indestructible.
- Exynos W1000, five processor cores and Mali-G68 graphics — menus scroll smoothly and apps load without long waits.
- 2GB RAM and 32GB storage — keeps several apps active and leaves space for offline playlists, maps and watch faces.
- Wear OS 6 with One UI 8 Watch — opens up Google Play, Google Maps, Samsung Health and Gemini on the wrist.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed Samsung box you will find the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 44mm, its band, a magnetic wireless charging puck with a USB-C plug and the printed quick-start guide.

Our staff break the seal in front of you, power the watch on and pair it with your Android phone at the counter.
