While we\u2019re expecting this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-squircle-design-quick-button-apk-teardown-3555946\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy Watch 8 series<\/a> to stick with the same circular displays with which we\u2019re familiar, we\u2019ve already uncovered evidence suggesting that this year\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>This year we\u2019ve been expecting Samsung to bring back the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-sig-listing-3548829\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classic variant of the Galaxy Watch<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_jh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"watch 8 classic cad render 1\"  alt=\"watch 8 classic cad render 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/watch-8-classic-cad-render-1-scaled.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_jh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"watch 8 classic cad render 3\"  alt=\"watch 8 classic cad render 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/watch-8-classic-cad-render-3-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The team over at <a href=\"https:\/\/sammyguru.com\/exclusive-samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-renders-360-video-5k-leaked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SammyGuru<\/a> produced these pics based on some highly specific measurements of watch hardware \u2014 think: the kind of data an accessory manufacturer might have access to for designing cases, screen protectors, or bands. But working off of that, and making a few educated guesses, you can put together some very impressive-looking renderings that might not be too far off from the real deal.<\/p>\n<p>Just like we saw with our earlier find, Samsung appears to be upgrading the Classic model with a third button, with app code suggesting that this new addition could be the same Quick Button we got to know on the Galaxy Watch Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>Regulatory filings have already offered some early insight into Watch 8 hardware, and this Classic model in particular has been associated with a 435mAh battery (450mAh typical) that would be roughly in line with the capacity we had on the larger Watch 6 Classic (though quite a bit below the Watch Ultra\u2019s 590mAh). The hardware we\u2019re seeing here reportedly has dimensions of right around 46 x 46.5 x 14.2mm \u2014 again, more or less the same as the last bigger Classic, though just a smidge thicker this time around.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, rumors suggested that Samsung was planning an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-flip-7-launch-date-venue-3547693\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">early July launch event<\/a> for its next foldable phones. Will that be the same venue that introduces us to the Galaxy Watch 8 lineup? We\u2019ll be finding out one way or the other in just a few more weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
