The squircle rumors<\/a> are true \u2013 the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic will adopt a design similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra. We say this because someone has a prototype watch and is selling it on eBay.<\/p>\n

The watch reports itself as OZXT (or maybe that\u2019s a \u201czero\u201d instead of an \u201coh\u201d). The model number listed by the seller is SM-L505U \u2013 a 46mm Watch8 Classic with LTE and 64GB storage.<\/p>\n

The leather strap comes in the retail box \u2013 though it likely varies depending on the watch color you choose. There\u2019s also a magnetic charging adapter with a USB-C plug at the end.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Watch8 Classic is expected to feature a rotating bezel, which was last seen on 2023\u2019s Watch6 Classic. There\u2019s an extra button this time too, the crown, though it\u2019s probably not a rotating crown (it wasn\u2019t on the Watch Ultra). You can see a fairly prominent speaker on the left side of the watch, similar to the Ultra.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series is expected to be powered by the same Exynos W1000<\/a> as the previous generation, though with larger batteries<\/a>. Here are photos of the older models for comparison:<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic (and the vanilla Watch8) will probably be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event for the new Galaxy foldables in mid-July<\/a>, according to the latest chatter (Samsung hasn\u2019t sent out an official \u201csave the date\u201d yet).<\/p>\n
