While the Classic\u2019s design is clearly based off of last year\u2019s Ultra, the base Watch 8 is a strange amalgamation of the two looks.<\/p>\n<p>This watch has a circular display, but with the frame forming a gentler \u201csquircle\u201d shape compared to Samsung\u2019s larger Watch 8 Classic and Watch Ultra. The base Galaxy Watch 8 only has limited amounts of the frame extending past the display, and still only has two buttons on the right side as well.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already seen this design in the past through <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/05\/09\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-design-leak-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">software leaks<\/a>, but this is our first look at how it appears in \u201creal life.\u201d Personally, I\u2019m not a huge fan.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"676428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/galaxy-watch-8-design-leak-ah-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-676428\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"676429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/galaxy-watch-8-classic-design-leak-ah-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-676429\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"676427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/galaxy-watch-8-classic-design-leak-ah-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-676427\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The report goes on to reiterate that Galaxy Watch 8 is expected to have two size options, but Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/06\/04\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-foldable-variant-color-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only expected to offer one<\/a>. The report also shows the Classic with a black and silver look, as well as a new blue variant of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. It\u2019s unclear if anything has changed with the new Ultra beyond its colorway, though.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung is expected to launch Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic next month.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the new design?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>More on Samsung:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Update: Corrected note about Galaxy Watch Ultra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4jF54XN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-659393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-2-dbrand-9to5-dbrand-S25U-ghost-banner.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"205\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following several leaks of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and its new look, we\u2019re finally getting a peek&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[1685,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-178716","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114671152529297962","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
