Samsung has released renders for its upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which is reportedly the successor to last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra. The smartwatch features a similar design to the Galaxy Watch Ultra but with one notable difference – the return of the rotating bezel.
The watch boasts a large 1.5-inch display, 450mAh battery, and dimensions of 46 x 46.5 x 14.2mm. A single size option is available at 47mm. The design closely resembles that of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, with two buttons on the right side sandwiched by an orange action button. External speakers are also present on the other side.
The back features health tracking sensors and the same unlocking buttons as the Galaxy Watch Ultra. This suggests a refreshed Galaxy Watch Ultra-inspired design with the added feature of a rotating bezel.
Samsung is expected to release both this model, along with its regular Galaxy Watch 8, in the second half of 2025.
