Samsung has officially announced that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on July 9 in Brooklyn, New York. In this event, along with the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Fold7, the company will also launch its new Galaxy Watch 8 series. This time, the smartwatch lineup will have three new models Galaxy Watch 8, Watch8 Classic, and Watch Ultra (2025).
Last month, these three models were seen in online leaks, where a squircle dial design was shown. This design was first introduced last year with the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Now before the official launch, the full specifications and European pricing have also been leaked.
Design and Variant Differences Between Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic
Both models look similar in terms of design, but the key difference is in the material used and the rotating bezel. As usual, the Classic model comes with a physical rotating bezel. Both watches will be available in Bluetooth-only and Bluetooth + 4G versions. Watch8 will come in two sizes 40mm and 44mm. The Classic model will be launched in only one size 46mm.
