Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic marks the return of a favorite feature that disappeared with last year's models – the rotating bezel is back. This isn't just nostalgia talking; the physical bezel gives you precise control when scrolling through apps or checking notifications, something touchscreens alone can't match. The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic combines this traditional element with fresh innovations like AI health coaching and a Quick Button that launches your most-used apps instantly. At 46mm with a stainless steel case, it delivers the premium feel Samsung's Classic line is known for.

Health tracking on the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic goes beyond counting steps. The new Antioxidant Index reads carotenoid levels in your skin – a genuine health metric that tells you about your diet and lifestyle. Running Coach analyzes your form and pace, then builds a training plan that adjusts as you improve. Bedtime Guidance learns your sleep patterns over several nights and suggests the best time to wind down. These features work together with the BioActive sensor to give you a complete picture of your wellness, not just numbers on a screen.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic runs on Samsung's latest processor with 64GB of storage – double what you get in the standard Watch8. This extra space matters when you're downloading music for offline listening or installing apps for phone-free runs. With Google Gemini built in, voice commands actually work when you need them. Whether you're asking it to start a workout, find directions, or set reminders, the response is quick and accurate. Battery life reaches 30 hours with the always-on display active, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic charges wirelessly on the included puck. For those who want both style and substance in their smartwatch, this model delivers on both fronts.
