Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic merge an iconic design with new, personalized wellness insights to motivate you on your health journey
NEW YORK – July 9, 2025 — Whether you’re hitting your daily step count, chasing deadlines, or winding down for a restful night, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic are designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. With a sleeker, thinner profile and reimagined comfort, the latest additions to the Galaxy Watch lineup are more than just wearables—they’re personal wellness companions that help you tune in to your body and stay effortlessly connected.
Inspired by the elevated cushion design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the new Watch8 series offers a lightweight, form-fitting experience that moves naturally with you. It’s the kind of smartwatch you forget you’re wearing—until you realize how much it’s changed the way you live.
Sleep deeper. Run smarter. Stress less.
From real-time stress alerts and mindfulness tracking to personalized bedtime tips, Galaxy Watch8 turns everyday habits into meaningful health wins. One of the newest features—Antioxidant Index—lets you check your carotenoid levels in seconds, helping you make smarter choices for healthy aging. And if you’re a runner, the built-in Running Coach creates a custom plan just for you, complete with motivational nudges and real-time feedback.
It also introduces an AI-powered Energy Score, combining mental and physical data to give you a daily snapshot of how ready you are to take on the day—because real wellness isn’t just about steps or heart rate, it’s about balance.
Smarter, seamless connection
Need to find a café or text a friend on the fly? Just ask Gemini, Google’s intuitive AI assistant, now seamlessly built into the Galaxy Watch8 and ready to make multitasking easier. With Wear OS 6 and the refined One UI 8 Watch, even the smallest tasks—from checking the weather to starting a workout—are simpler and more streamlined than ever.
Design for every lifestyle
Minimalist or classic? The Galaxy Watch8 offers a clean, modern look in Silver or Graphite, while the Watch8 Classic adds timeless flair with a rotating bezel and quick-access buttons. Both are customizable with a range of stylish bands to match your mood or outfit. And for those who live for the great outdoors, the Galaxy Watch Ultra offers the toughest, most advanced Galaxy Watch yet, with premium titanium finishes and peak durability.
Pre-orders are open now through July 31, with general availability starting August 1. Whether you’re into morning jogs, mindful nights, or just want a watch that works as hard as you do, Galaxy Watch8 is here to help you live smarter—beautifully.
