Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Archives ~ My Mobile India

Highlights The Galaxy Watch 8 series introduces a new “cushion” design blending circular and square elements, a slimmer profile and sapphire crystal displays. Both watches are powered by the Exynos W1000 chip and Wear OS 6. They offer enhanced GPS, sleep tracking with Bedtime Guidance and Vascular Load and debut Samsung’s Gemini AI. The Watch 8 starts at $349 (40mm/44mm), Watch 8 Classic at $499 (46mm) with pre-orders open now. Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, introducing a fresh new design, smarter health tracking, and built-in Gemini AI, all running on Wear OS 6. Here’s everything you need to know about the newly launched Galaxy Watches. Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic One of the biggest changes is the new “cushion” design that blends circular and square elements. This marks a shift from the traditional round shape, even for the Watch 8 Classic, which has always stuck to a classic circular style. It’s a bold move that might split opinions, but it’s aimed at delivering more comfort and a sleeker feel. Samsung says the Watch 8 is now 11% slimmer than before, thanks to a new internal layout and component mounting process. It also uses the Dynamic Lug system first seen in last year’s Watch Ultra, allowing for a more adaptable fit. Both the Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic come with a sapphire crystal display that offers a brighter viewing experience. Inside, they’re powered by the new Exynos W1000 chip, paired with 2GB RAM. The Watch 8 Classic gets up to 64GB of internal storage, while both watches come with batteries around 435–445mAh, decent for a daily smartwatch, though not meant for multi-day endurance like the Watch Ultra. Health features see solid upgrades too. GPS accuracy has improved, making the Running Coach more precise. The sleep suite now includes Bedtime Guidance, helping you know when to wind down, and a Vascular Load feature that tracks stress during sleep. A new Antioxidant Index also lets users monitor carotenoid levels to get quick insights into their health. Perhaps most exciting, the Galaxy Watch 8 series is the first to ship with Gemini AI, Samsung’s version of Google’s Gemini assistant. It’s baked right into Wear OS 6 and One UI Watch 8, bringing features like the Now Bar, which was previously seen only on the Galaxy S25 series.
