Galaxy Watch 8 Classic appeared in “live” photos ahead of the announcement
By ForGeeks Live images of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic have hit the web, another leak confirming design changes to Samsung’s smartwatch. The photos were published by insider Setsuna Digital on Weibo, just days before the official release.
New “Classic”: rounded case and the return of the bezel
The image shows a metal case with a black leather strap. The device features two side buttons and a rotating bezel, which was a hallmark of the Classic series. The design features a case shape that combines elements of a square and a circle, the so-called “squirrel” design previously used on the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
This visual element, according to the leak, will now be common across Samsung’s entire watch lineup. The bezel on the new model is slightly thinner and the screen is visually larger, though there’s no official confirmation of these changes just yet.
Characteristics and presentation date
Preliminary reports suggest that the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will also get a brighter display and better protection against external influences. The device has previously appeared on eBay, which indirectly indicates that there are test or pre-production units available.
