The launch of the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic completes the devices launched by Samsung tonight. We start with the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic which brings back the rotating bezel mechanism and is matched with a 1.34″ round SAMOLED screen and durable sapphire glass. The body of this watch is 46mm in size which passes the IP68 / MIL-STD-810H standards and pressure up to 5 ATM.
The Exynos W1000 (3nm) processor is reused from the Watch7 which is matched with 2GB RAM, 64GB storage and a 445 mAh battery that supports WPC wireless charging.
BioActive, temperature, gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, geomagnetic, light and 3D Hall sensors are included in the device’s body which is now more boxy following the design of last year’s Watch Ultra. ECG features, body composition and a new feature of body antioxidant levels are introduced this year.
It also comes with 3 physical buttons on the right side. Overall, this year's model is up to 11% thinner than the previous model. Despite having a round button, the Watch Ultra's emergency alarm feature is not borrowed from the Watch8 Classic. This button can be programmed to open a flashlight or a shortcut to a favorite sports activity. The watch strap is easier to change because it borrows the design of the Watch Ultra strap which has only one button.
Finally, the operating system used is One UI 8 Watch based on Wear OS 6, making it the first to be launched with this operating system in the global market.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 comes with a choice of 1.47″ SAMOLED or 1.34″ SAMOLED round screens and durable sapphire glass. The body of this watch is 44mm and 40mm which pass the IP68 / MIL-STD-810H standards and pressure up to 5 ATM.
This is paired with an Exynos W1000 (3nm) processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 325/435 mAh battery that supports WPC wireless charging. Other features such as the operating system and sensors are the same as the Watch8 Classic.
The Watch Ultra is not updated with a new model but only receives a new Titanium Blue color. The device's selling price is as follows with pre-orders already open. General sales begin on July 25.
