Galaxy Watch 8 Classic pairs a stainless-steel frame, rotating bezel and cushion design with a Dynamic Lug System, delivering a premium, rounded-square appearance similar to the Ultra. The 46.4x46.0x10.6mm, 64g watch features MIL-STD-810H, IP68, 5 ATM protection and a 1.34-inch Super AMOLED display with 3000nits peak brightness and 327 PPI. Software additions include a Quick Button, Now Bar multitasking display and native Google Gemini AI support. Health monitoring covers sleep, workouts and heart activity. The model launches at Rs.46,999, higher than the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic's Rs.36,999.
Of course, Gemini is now onboard, making the Galaxy Watch 8 series the first smartwatches to come out of the box with native support for Google's AI assistant. Samsung has also added a Now Bar, a popular feature on Galaxy phones, which displays tasks running in the background. The new Classic model also features the signature cushion design introduced last year, along with the Dynamic Lug System. And, as you would expect, Samsung offers sleep, workout, heart activity, and more health-tracking features.
When I first got my hands on the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic last month in a closed-door hands-on session alongside new foldables, I almost mistook it for the Ultra model. Samsung has smartly introduced the cushion design to the Watch 8 Classic, which enhances the overall appeal and makes it look like a close sibling of the Ultra. The rounded square design looks premium and definitely puts the Classic in the Ultra league.
This year, Samsung has given the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic upgrades that almost make it as compelling as the Ultra model. The rotating bezel gives it a classic look and appeal, which has been one reason why the Classic model has been so popular in all these years, while the addition of features like a Quick Button enhances ease of use.
