The new Galaxy Watch8 series, including the Watch8 and Watch8 Classic, inherits the design of last year's Watch Ultra with a nearly square bezel and a round watch face.
A Samsung representative stated that the Galaxy Watch8 series is distinct from existing smartwatches, focusing on features that help users proactively monitor, understand, and improve their daily health, from sleep to blood pressure, heart rate, and activity levels.

The Galaxy Watch8 Series boasts a compact squircle design that fits comfortably on the wrist, complementing various styles from active to elegant. The display, with a brightness of up to 3,000 nits, ensures clear visibility even in direct sunlight. The improved One UI 8 interface features intuitive icons, clear and large text, making it user-friendly even for those new to smartwatches.
The watch analyzes sleep cycles in depth, including light, deep, and REM phases, to assess sleep quality rather than just measuring total sleep time. The Sleep Coaching feature offers personalized recommendations such as reducing caffeine intake in the afternoon, going to bed earlier, or practicing relaxation breathing before sleep.

In addition to heart rate and blood pressure, the Galaxy Watch8 also measures blood vessel pressure, an indicator of elasticity and circulation. This data is combined to warn of potential physiological stress or early signs of cardiovascular disease. The watch also integrates guidance such as reminders to rest after 2 hours of work, suggestions for light cardio exercises, and recommendations for heart-healthy foods.
During exercise, especially running, the Galaxy Watch8 tracks advanced metrics like VO2 max, stride length, ground contact time, and foot balance. After each workout, users receive analysis and tailored suggestions for improvement, such as breathing techniques, maintaining a steady pace, or increasing endurance.

According to a Samsung representative, the Galaxy Watch8 Series not only records data but also analyzes it to provide personalized advice, fostering healthy habits. This distinguishes the device as a true personal assistant rather than just a smartwatch.
