Samsung has finally launched Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra 2 smartwatches in a special Galaxy Unpacked event. The main focus of the event is the return of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic smartwatch with a physical rotating bezel. It brings the iconic rotating crown to operate the main screen and to scroll the display. The Classic variant comes in a rugged display with water resistance support, and it is very similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 version.
Instead of naming Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Samsung has decided to call it simply Watch Ultra 2025 version. It gets four new health features, which are also available for the remaining two watches.
The newly added features in the Samsung Health app are Running Coach, Vascular Load, Antioxidant Index, and Bedtime Guidance. For the first time, Google has brought its Gemini AI digital assistant to the smartwatches. It will assist you in many ways with the help of AI.
Now Brief and Now Bar functions have also been launched on these watches, and they support most of the existing apps. The regular Galaxy Watch 8 is 11% lighter than the Galaxy Watch 7, though it maintains security ratings with dust, scratch, and water.
All the Galaxy Watch family members run on the latest One UI 8 Watch version that offers a couple of new features. The pre-orders have now started in all the major countries, and the sales will begin on July 25.
