The Galaxy Watch series only got its newest members – Hello to Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic. We got to spend some time with the latest Samsung Wearbals and these are our first impressions.

The Watch 8 series has Samsung’s “cushion design”, which premiered last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra. This means a square -shaped covering and a round performance at the top.

Samsung’s dynamic lug system ensures less space between watching and your wrist resulting in more accurate health and activity readings. Only the negative side is that the watch 8 series uses ownership straps, so you cannot pop on any standard 22 mm band like the Watch 7 series.
Samsung offers a variety of strap options to choose, as you can see.

Watch8 comes in 40 mm and 44 mm size and two colors – graphite and silver. The small version contains a 1.34 -inch display while the big 1.47 inch panel becomes slightly larger.
Watch8 is available in a single 46 mm size with classic black and white options. This fan-pasted rotation brings back to Bezel, which Samsung had chosen strangely to get out of his Watch 7 series.
For some strange reason, the Watch 8 classic gets a 1.34-inch diagonal similar to the 40 mm watch 8.
Regardless of which Watch 8 series you go for, you are getting a bright and responsible AMOLED display with the sapphire crystal protection and a peak of 3,000 knots.
Watch 8 is made from the cover titanium, while the classic gets stainless steel. Both feel quite premium, although the classic is quite heavy, which is expected to give its large size and rotation bezel.
On 8.6 mm thick, the watch 8 is thin and lighter than any previous galaxy clock, and it is freshly light on the wrist.
New watches of Samsung have booted a UI 8 watch based on Google’s Wear OS 6. This update brings some new features, including uniform notifications, multi-info tiles and Samsung Now Bar. You are also getting guidance, vascular load, antioxidant index and a new running coach at bedtime.
Samsung’s bioactive sensor claims more accurate health and activity readings, which we will ensure to test in our review. Both Watch8 members are attached to the Exynos W1000 Chip with 2GB RAM and with 32GB storage on the Watch 8 and 64GB classic.
For battery life, the smallest 40 mm watch 8 gets a 325mAh battery while the 44 mm model has a 435mAh cell. Watch8 classic is designed with 445mAh cell. Samsung always claims 40 -hour use without display (AOD) mode, and 30 hours with AOD for both models.
