Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Series Redefines Comfort and Wellness Tracking

The Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic blend iconic design with advanced health features to support your lifestyle, from sleep to workouts.

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic, introducing a new era of smartwatches that combine refined design with powerful health and wellness tools. With a sleeker, lighter form factor and a suite of personalized wellness features, the Galaxy Watch8 series is engineered to deliver all-day comfort and performance — whether you're sleeping, exercising, or managing stress.

Thinner, Smarter, More Comfortable Than Ever

Inspired by the cushion design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Watch8 series offers Samsung’s thinnest, most ergonomic Galaxy Watch to date. The device has been redesigned inside and out to improve both comfort and stability. A 30% improvement in component placement efficiency results in an 11% thinner profile, while the Dynamic Lug system ensures the watch adapts more naturally to wrist movements. The result is a watch that stays in place and enhances sensor accuracy for health tracking.

Even under bright sunlight, the Galaxy Watch8 display stays visible with 3,000 nits of peak brightness, 50% brighter than before. Its enhanced battery life and dual-frequency GPS offer precise location tracking and longer use. The powerful 3nm processor also brings faster performance and improved power efficiency.

Deeper Health Insights, Day and Night

Samsung continues its focus on holistic health by enhancing its sleep tracking capabilities. The Galaxy Watch8 series supports advanced features like personalized sleep coaching, circadian rhythm-based Bedtime Guidance, and sleep apnea detection. The new Vascular Load feature also monitors stress levels on the vascular system during sleep, a first in a Galaxy Watch.

In another smartwatch first, the Galaxy Watch8 introduces the Antioxidant Index, which measures carotenoid levels in just five seconds, offering users insights into their cellular health and aging.

Integrated with the updated Samsung Health app, users receive instant feedback and motivational wellness insights spanning sleep, stress, fitness, and nutrition. These insights are designed to support habit formation and sustained health improvements.

Smarter Fitness Coaching and Real-Time Stress Management

Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or training for a personal best, the Running Coach feature provides a customized plan based on your performance level. A fitness score from 1 to 10 helps track your progress, while real-time guidance keeps you motivated throughout your workout.

Samsung also introduces Together, a feature that now supports running challenges with friends and family, turning your fitness goals into a shared experience.

For stress tracking, the Galaxy Watch8 comes with High Stress Alert and a Mindfulness Tracker, allowing you to log your mood, practice breathing exercises, and manage your well-being directly from your wrist.

The new AI-powered Energy Score gives a combined view of physical and mental energy, helping you optimize your daily activities for better productivity and well-being.

First Wear OS Smartwatch with Gemini Built In

The Galaxy Watch8 series is the first smartwatch to launch with Google’s Gemini AI assistant and runs on Wear OS 6. Through natural voice commands, you can now manage tasks hands-free, from scheduling appointments to starting workouts with simple voice prompts like “Start a 30-minute run.”

Samsung has also improved the overall user experience with One UI 8 Watch, offering a clean interface designed to fit the watch face. New features like Multi-Info Tiles, the Now Bar, and enhanced notifications provide easy access to key information at a glance.

A Style for Every Lifestyle

Starting today through July 31, the Galaxy Watch8, Watch8 Classic, and the new Galaxy Watch Ultra are available for pre-order in select markets, with full availability beginning August 1.

Galaxy Watch8 features a minimalist design and is available in 44mm and 40mm sizes in Graphite and Silver.

Galaxy Watch8 Classic combines timeless style with modern functionality, including a rotating bezel and quick button. Available in 46mm, it comes in Black and White.

Both models support a wide variety of stylish, interchangeable bands to match your personal look.

For those who spend more time outdoors, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is the most rugged and advanced option. With four titanium finishes, including the new Titanium Blue, it offers the longest battery life and most durable performance in the Galaxy Watch family.
