Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is just around the corner. Fresh renders of the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and a potential Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 have now surfaced, giving us a peek at what’s to come. With a bold new design and upgraded features, these smartwatches are gearing up to make a splash.
Courtesy of leaker Evan Blass, new front-facing renders of the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and a possible Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 have hit the web. The renders showcase a unified “squircle” design—a squarish chassis with a round display—first introduced with the original Galaxy Watch Ultra. This new aesthetic now defines the entire Watch 8 lineup, setting it apart from previous models.
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic marks the return of the beloved physical rotating bezel, a fan-favorite feature for intuitive navigation. Like the Ultra, it sports three side buttons: a home/power key, a back key, and a round Quick/Action button for launching apps or workouts. A prototype of the Watch 8 Classic recently surfaced on eBay, which you can check out here.
These watches are set to launch with One UI 8 Watch, based on Wear OS. Expect advanced tracking like carotenoid level measurements, personalized running guidance, and improved sleep monitoring tools. The Galaxy Watch 5 series and newer models will also get these perks via the One UI 8 Watch beta program, rolling out later in June 2025. Posts on X from tipsters like @OnLeaks suggest the Watch Ultra 2 could feature a titanium frame and enhanced durability, while the Watch 8 and Classic focus on larger displays and longer battery life. The Unpacked event, rumored for July 13, 2025, in New York City, is expected to confirm these details alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7.
