Galaxy Watch8 |
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. on Wednesday, introduced Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8
Classic, establishing an iconic design identity across the
entire Galaxy Watch lineup. Building upon the foundation of the Galaxy Watch
Ultra’s cushion design, this series boasts the thinnest, most comfortable Galaxy
Watch ever for continuous health tracking. The Galaxy Watch8 series suits
diverse lifestyles and provides advanced capabilities, setting a new
standard for style and personalized health experiences.
“We are committed to empowering billions of people to live
healthier lives through our innovative technology,” said TM Roh, President and
Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “By
combining purposeful design with advanced sensor technology and an intuitive
AI-powered experience, the Galaxy Watch8 series serves as a starting point for
a healthier, more connected life, making it easier than ever to take meaningful
steps toward users’ well-being.”
Redesigned
Inside and Out for Ultimate Wellness
By reimagining both form and function, the Galaxy Watch8
series delivers unmatched comfort alongside industry-leading performance,
making it the ultimate companion for everyday wellness. The distinctive cushion
design, which debuted with Galaxy Watch Ultra,
now defines the entire Galaxy Watch lineup. To achieve the thinnest design yet,
the internal structure of Galaxy Watch8 was completely reengineered and its
component mounting capability has been improved by 30%, resulting in an 11% thinner
design. Combined with the Dynamic Lug system, this design moves
naturally with the wrist, providing greater comfort and improved stability2 for a
better fit and enhanced health-tracking accuracy.
Galaxy
Watch8’s sleek profile is complemented by its exceptional performance. Even
when you are outdoors under bright sunlight, the display is 50% brighter2 with a peak
brightness of 3,000nits for easy visibility, and the enhanced battery2 ensures the
watch can keep up with an active lifestyle. Moreover, the dual-frequency GPS
provides more detailed and precise location results2 while our
most powerful 3nm processor delivers faster performance and greater power
efficiency. With the groundbreaking BioActive Sensor that enables deeper and
more accurate health insights, the Galaxy Watch8 series helps provide a holistic
view of your health.
Motivation for Lasting Health
Changes
Sleep is a
window into your overall health and each restful night allows your body and
mind to recover immediately the very next day. That’s why Samsung is
continuously advancing the sleep experience, offering tailored sleep coaching, helping
to create an optimal sleep environment, and even detecting moderate to severe signs
of sleep apnea. On top of that, the Galaxy Watch8 series comes with new unique health features on the
Samsung Health app
that help you build healthier habits through instant, motivational insights –
from sleep to nutrition and workout.
Bedtime Guidance
can measure your circadian rhythm to suggest
the optimal time to go to bed so you wake up refreshed the next morning. Vascular
Load
helps monitor the stress levels on your vascular system during sleep. Providing
insights on various lifestyle factors including sleep, stress and activity, it helps
you adopt a more comprehensive approach to managing your health.
Meanwhile, the
Galaxy Watch8 series introduces Antioxidant Index
for the first time in a smartwatch,
enabling you to measure carotenoid levels in just five seconds and
make informed lifestyle choices for healthy aging.
Whether you’re a novice or experienced
runner, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers
personalized fitness insights to keep you motivated when you need it most. Running
Coach
calculates your fitness level from 1 to 10 and develops a tailored training
plan complete with real-time guidance and motivational insights. With the
updated Together feature, which now supports running, you can gamify your
fitness journey by challenging friends and family.
If high
level of stress persists, High Stress Alert will immediately signal so
that you can take a break to help manage your stress levels in real-time. With Mindfulness
Tracker, you can record your mood and receive guidance on breathing
exercises to relieve your stress – all at once on your wrist.
Plus, the AI-powered
Energy Score
gives you a snapshot of your energy level, combining physical and mental energy
metrics so you can have a healthier day, every day.
Easier Watch
Interaction with Wear OS and Gemini
Developed in close collaboration with Google, the Galaxy Watch8 series is
the first smartwatch to come out of the box with Gemini,
Google's AI assistant, and be powered by Wear OS 6. Go hands-free using
natural voice commands to get things done on the go with your Galaxy Watch apps
like Samsung Health, Calendar, Reminder, and Clock. For example, you can ask
Gemini to find a nearby cafe and text a friend to meet you there, all in one
go. Or, if you’re ready to start your workout and you have a goal in mind,
simply say, “Start a 30-minute run.” The watch seamlessly initiates the workout
in Samsung Health.
In addition, thanks to the new One UI 8 Watch, the
user interface is optimized for the size and shape of the watch face. The new Multi-Info
Tiles provide easy access to health metrics, weather, events and more – all
in a single, quick look. Moreover, the new Now Bar and depthless
notifications ensure key activities are front and center.
Tailored to Match
Every Lifestyle
Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Watch8 Classic and the new
