Alongside its 2025 Galaxy Z series launch, Samsung has introduced the new Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic, marking a new chapter in its wearable lineup. Drawing design cues from the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the latest models deliver the thinnest and most comfortable Galaxy Watches yet, designed for continuous wear and personalized wellness.
“By combining purposeful design with advanced sensor technology and an intuitive AI-powered experience, the Galaxy Watch8 series serves as a starting point for a healthier, more connected life,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of Samsung’s DX Division.
Redesigned for Comfort and Precision
The Galaxy Watch8 series features a reengineered structure that is 11% thinner, offering greater comfort and enhanced tracking accuracy through its Dynamic Lug system. With a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, an upgraded battery, dual-frequency GPS, and a powerful 3nm processor, the watch is built to perform in any setting.
Its BioActive Sensor unlocks deeper health insights, from sleep tracking and circadian rhythm monitoring to stress detection and antioxidant analysis, a first in smartwatches with the Antioxidant Index for carotenoid levels.
Smarter Health and Motivation Tools
New features in Samsung Health include Bedtime Guidance, Vascular Load monitoring, and a Running Coach that provides real-time feedback. The AI-powered Energy Score helps users understand their mental and physical energy for smarter daily planning. Stress levels can also be managed with High Stress Alerts and the Mindfulness Tracker.
AI and Wear OS-Powered Smartwatch Experience
The Galaxy Watch8 series is the first to launch with Google Gemini built-in, offering voice-enabled tasks like setting reminders, navigating, or starting workouts. Running on Wear OS 6 and One UI 8 Watch, the interface has been enhanced with features like Multi-Info tiles, Now Bar, and streamlined notifications for easier access to health and productivity tools.
