Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series is expected to be announced alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, sometime next month. The lineup is anticipated to include three models — Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025. While details about the Galaxy Watch 8 series hardware are scarce, a new leak provides a detailed look at its design. The Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic are seen with a new design language, resembling last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra. The Classic variant is shown with a rotating bezel.
All Galaxy Watch 8 Models May Adopt an Ultra-Inspired Design
The folks over at Android Headlines have gotten their hands on alleged renders of the unreleased Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025. The official-looking renders show the wearables with a “squircle” design, that Samsung debuted last year with the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The vanilla model is shown in a white colour option and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in a black shade.
Each model seems to have its distinct style despite being part of the same lineup. The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic has a thicker bezel and notches for rotating the bezel. It is also said to feature a Quick button that debuted on the Galaxy Watch Ultra last year.
Like the previous models, the Galaxy Watch 8 will reportedly come in two sizes. The Galaxy Watch 7 was launched in 40mm and 44mm sizes, and Samsung is expected to stick with the same size options for the Watch 8.
The alleged render of the new Galaxy Watch Ultra suggests minor changes from the current model. The notable change is the blue bezel along with a blue Marine strap. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2024 model was available in Orange or Dark Gray shades. Samsung is expected to choose blue as its signature colour for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025.
Samsung is believed to unveil the Galaxy Watch 8 series alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in its next Galaxy Unpacked launch event. The event is expected to take place on July 10.
