Beauty is said to be subjective, and few tech products on the market exemplify this notion as well as the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025). Regardless of opinions on Samsung’s “squircle” shape, the striking visuals of these devices, revealed by reputable insider Evan Blass, are hard to ignore. His recent leaks include fresh angles and improved details that add depth to the already appealing designs he shared previously.
When comparing the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, it’s clear that they cater to different needs. The classic model is engineered for enhanced functionality, albeit at a higher cost. The Watch 8 Classic also appears thicker and possibly heavier than its standard sibling.
Yet, it remains uncertain if this will translate into better battery life. The presentation of the Galaxy Watch 8 does present a distinct aesthetic that might come off as unusual compared to its Classic counterpart, possibly due to its smaller size and design nuances. It’s important to note that the Galaxy Watch 8 lineup will likely include a silver option alongside the graphite variant.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is expected to be available in timeless black and white. The anticipated launch will feature both 40mm and 44mm cases for the Galaxy Watch 8, while the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is rumored to be offered exclusively in a 46mm model. As for the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), its design seems to be gaining favor with many, showcasing a “Titanium Blue” that stands out.
However, it may replace the previous Titanium White variant, which is disappointing for some. Details about the internal upgrades for these new models are still sparse, but an official announcement will likely shed light on their capabilities soon.
