Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Watch 8, bringing a wave of new design refinements, advanced health tracking, and deeper personalization powered by Galaxy AI. With a lighter body, longer battery life, and enhanced One UI 8 Watch experience, the Galaxy Watch 8 stands out as the company’s most intelligent and comfortable smartwatch yet.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic Features:

Sleek New Design 

The Galaxy Watch 8 introduces a refreshed look with a modern cushion-shaped case that brings a minimalist, stylish feel to everyday wear. Designed for both workouts and everyday style, the new case is available in two sizes including 40mm and 44mm and comes in Graphite and Silver finishes.

Adding to the refinement, the Dynamic Lug System enables the band to fit snugly around the wrist, minimizing the space between the sensor and skin. This ensures precise health readings while maintaining all-day comfort.

The Galaxy Watch8 stands out as the slimmest Galaxy Watch to date, measuring 11% thinner than the Galaxy Watch7.

Thinnest and Lightest Galaxy Watch Yet

The Galaxy Watch 8 is Samsung’s thinnest and lightest smartwatch to date. It comes with a newly introduced cushion-shaped case and a Dynamic Lug System that ensures better contact with the skin for accurate health tracking. It’s available in 40mm and 44mm sizes with two color options: Silver and Graphite. The case is made from Armor Aluminum for added durability.

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic comes in one single size 46mm.

3000-Nit Bright Display

The Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic both features a vibrant display with up to 3000 nits brightness. Whether you’re outdoors or in direct sunlight, the display ensures clear visibility for all types of interactions.

Improved Battery Life 

The smartwatch packs more efficiency with a redesigned system-on-chip based on a powerful 3nm processor and a five-core setup. The battery life sees a bump too, helping users power through workouts and sleep tracking without daily recharging.

Bedtime Guidance and Personalized Sleep Schedule

With enhanced sleep tracking, the Galaxy Watch 8 uses three days of data to recommend the optimal bedtime based on the user’s sleep pressure and circadian rhythm. It sends subtle reminders when it’s time to wind down, helping users establish a healthier, more consistent routine.

Energy Score Powered by Galaxy AI

Samsung brings a new AI-powered Energy Score that provides a daily health snapshot. It analyzes sleep activity and heart rate from the previous day and delivers a summary of your overall readiness. Deeper insights are available in the Samsung Health app on your Galaxy smartphone.

Track Vascular Health with Blood Stress Monitoring

The Galaxy Watch 8 keeps an eye on cardiovascular wellness while you sleep. It reviews factors like diet, exercise, and stress to determine vascular load which is a measure of stress on your circulatory system. If your readings are elevated, the watch suggests actionable tips to get back on track.

Antioxidant Index 

One of the standout features is the Antioxidant Index. By placing your thumb on the smartwatch’s sensor, you can now measure carotenoid levels including antioxidants found in colorful fruits and vegetables. This provides real-time insight into how your lifestyle and diet are impacting your aging and cellular health.

Stress Management and Mindfulness Tools

Mental wellness also takes center stage. The Galaxy Watch 8 comes with a suite of mindfulness features, helping users manage stress and improve emotional well-being. Guided techniques and daily logging encourage consistent reflection and peace of mind.

Advanced Running Coach 

Whether you’re new to running or training for a marathon, the updated Running Coach on the Galaxy Watch 8 offers personalized workout plans. It evaluates your performance on a scale from 1 to 10 and adjusts your running plan to keep your progress steady and avoid overtraining.

Wide Variety of Stylish Bands

Samsung provides a broad lineup of band styles to match different needs and preferences from Sport Band and Fabric Band to Hybrid Band and Athleisure Band.

Powered by a 3nm 5-Core Processor

At its core, the Galaxy Watch 8 runs on Samsung’s efficient 3nm processor with five cores, providing enhanced responsiveness across apps, health tracking, and AI-driven features. This powerful chipset also supports smooth performance within the One UI 8 Watch interface.

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic takes performance up a notch with the same 3nm processor seen in the regular model but pairs it with up to 64GB of storage.
