The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic is positioned between the baseline Watch8 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra in terms of features, retaining the signature rotating bezel.
The review unit comes in Black with stainless-steel elements and a faux leather watch band that is proprietary, limiting band replacement options.
The Galaxy Watch8 Classic features a tactile rotating bezel knob and a remappable Quick button borrowed from the Galaxy Watch Ultra, offering enhanced control options.
Equipped with a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen, Exynos W1000 chip, 2GB RAM, and 64GB storage, the Watch8 Classic boasts up to 40 hours of battery life with AoD off and 30 hours with AoD on.
