Samsung has launched the Galaxy Watch8 Classic, reintroducing the iconic rotating bezel in a more refined and stylish design. It now features a new Quick Button, a brighter 3000-nit display, and a sleek stainless steel build that lends it a premium feel.
The Galaxy Watch8 Classic is available for preorder now and will hit stores globally on July 25, 2025, and will soon be available in the Nepali market as well. In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know, including its specs, availability, and price in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic Overview:
Design and Display
The Galaxy Watch8 Classic arrives in a single 46 mm size, bringing back the fan-favorite rotating bezel, a standout feature that makes navigating the watch intuitive and satisfying. It’s now paired with Samsung’s all-new Dynamic Lug System, which offers a more secure and comfortable fit. This updated strap design improves comfort and enhances health tracking accuracy, and it’s still easy to swap for a different look anytime.
The watch’s stainless‑steel cushion‑style case blends soft curves with squared edges for a polished, premium look. The front is dominated by a 1.34‑inch Super AMOLED display (438 × 438 px) with up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, ensuring clear visibility even under direct sunlight. Sapphire crystal protection keeps the display durable and scratch‑resistant.
Software and AI Features
The Watch8 Classic runs One UI 8 Watch on top of Wear OS 6, delivering a cleaner, more intuitive interface. A new Now Bar makes it easier to switch between active apps and widgets such as sleep tracking, workouts, and energy score. The watch also comes with Google Gemini AI built in for voice commands, alongside Samsung’s Galaxy AI health insights. It offers features like Energy Score to gauge daily readiness, Advanced Sleep Coaching with personalized tips, FDA‑authorized sleep apnea detection, as well as on‑wrist ECG, stress tracking, and body composition analysis. All metrics sync seamlessly with Samsung Health, making the Watch8 Classic a true all‑in‑one health and productivity companion.
Health and Fitness Tracking
The Galaxy Watch8 Classic tracks more than just steps. Its upgraded sensor suite measures heart rate zones, VO₂ max, sleep stages, and blood oxygen levels, while also monitoring advanced metrics like Vascular Load, the Antioxidant Index, and the AGEs Index to assess metabolic wellness. The Running Coach adapts to your training level, whether you’re working up to a 5K or training for a marathon, and automatic workout detection ensures you never miss a session. Additional features like fall detection, cycle tracking, hydration reminders, and medication alerts make it a truly comprehensive health and wellness companion.
Battery and Connectivity
Powered by a 445 mAh battery, the Watch8 Classic offers up to 30 hours of battery life with Always‑On Display (AOD) enabled, and even longer with AOD disabled. Fast wireless charging gets you back up and running in less time. For connectivity, it supports Bluetooth 5.3 with dual‑device pairing, Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz), NFC for Samsung Pay, and dual‑frequency GPS (L1 + L5) for precise outdoor tracking. There’s also an optional LTE model that lets you make calls and stream music without needing your phone nearby.
