Galaxy Watch 8 Classic renders show off its chunky new look
What looks like an Ultra, but has a rotating bezel?
- Samsung’s wearable lineup in 2025 is expected to swap the Ultra out for the return of a Classic model.
- We’ve already seen signs that the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic could adopt a boxy, “squircle” design.
- Now some early CAD-based renders attempt to show us how this hardware may come together.
If history is any indication, we’re likely just a couple more months away from Samsung launching its latest generation of smartwatches. While we’re expecting this Galaxy Watch 8 series to stick with the same circular displays with which we’re familiar, we’ve already uncovered evidence suggesting that this year’s watch bodies, at least, could go in a much more boxy direction, with squared-off bezels like those found on the Watch Ultra. Now a new publication offers an even better preview at how one of those designs might be coming together.
This year we’ve been expecting Samsung to bring back the Classic variant of the Galaxy Watch, featuring that iconic rotating bezel. And now, ahead of any official imagery leaking, or even a couple clandestine spy shots showing up of the watch in testing, we get to check out a whole series of high-quality CAD-based renders.
