Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch 8 Smartwatch in the July 2025 program today, as well as with a rotating bezel with the Galaxy Watch 8 classic version, which made a comeback after a year’s gap. Both watches have to pass through a design overhaul and now resemble the Galaxy Watch Ultra, which was launched last year, with a square case around a circular bezel.
The Galaxy Watch 8 gets a screen upgrade with a luxurious display, with a peak of 3,000 notes on the Watch 7 compared to 2,000 nits. This allows you to use smartwatch in bright conditions better.
The watch retains the exynos w1000 chip and a bioactive sensor, which measures heart rate, EKG and body composition analysis.
Smartwatch comes with other features that Samsung was rolled out last month, including guidance at bedtime, which suggests you to give you the best time to sleep based on previous sleep-tracking data; Vascular load, which measures stress on your vascular system at bedtime and gives you a lifestyle twitter; A running coach, which gives optimal speed for your runs; And the antioxidant index, which measures carotenoids – a type of antioxidant found in vegetables and fruits. Most of these features consider a lot of factors about the user’s health and use calculations to provide scores and suggestions, which may not be very useful in real life.
Both watches run a UI 8 watch based on Wear OS 6. With this software release, Google is providing Gemini on watches, so you can ask questions without typing. Mithun is integrated with Samsung Health, Calendar, Reminder and Clock apps.
While the Samsung Galaxy Watch is not making any changes in the ultra, it is releasing a new titanium blue colorway at $ 650.
The Galaxy Watch starts at $ 350 for the 8 Bluetooth model, which is $ 50 more than the previous-gene watch, and $ 400 for the LTE model. The new clock comes in graphite and silver colors in 40 mm and 44 mm size. The Galaxy Watch 8 classic is priced at $ 500 for the Bluetooth version and $ 550 for the LTE version, and it comes in 46 mm shape.
Preords for all watches begin today, and the devices will usually be available in the US on 25 July.
