Samsung Electronics has officially launched the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic, bringing a redefined design and enhanced wellness features to the iconic smartwatch lineup.
Building on the cushion design first introduced with the Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Watch8 series is now Samsung’s thinnest and most comfortable smartwatch yet—crafted for continuous health tracking and everyday wear.
Designed for both style and substance, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers all-day comfort with an 11% slimmer profile and a reengineered internal structure. A new Dynamic Lug system ensures a snug fit, enabling improved tracking accuracy during workouts or sleep.
Performance has also received a major upgrade. The display is now 50% brighter with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, perfect for outdoor visibility. Powered by a 3nm Exynos W1000 chip, users get faster performance and improved power efficiency. With dual-frequency GPS and Samsung’s advanced BioActive Sensor, the Galaxy Watch8 offers deeper insights into heart rate, sleep, and overall wellness.
The Galaxy Watch8 introduces groundbreaking health features including Antioxidant Index, a smartwatch-first that measures carotenoid levels in just five seconds. Sleep tracking gets smarter with Bedtime Guidance, Vascular Load for stress detection during sleep, and enhanced coaching tools through the Samsung Health app.
For runners, the Running Coach offers real-time feedback and personalized training plans. New stress-management tools like High Stress Alerts, Mindfulness Tracker, and the AI-powered Energy Score further help users manage daily wellness.
Samsung also brings Google’s Gemini AI and Wear OS 6 integration, allowing hands-free control through voice commands. Whether you’re scheduling reminders, starting workouts, or texting friends, it’s all done seamlessly from your wrist.
Available in multiple sizes and colors, the Watch8 and Watch8 Classic are now open for pre-orders, with general availability starting July 25. For outdoor enthusiasts, Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Ring, both packed with long battery life and advanced tracking.
