Our best guide to smart watches is the one we have to update regularly, and it seems likely that Samsung will launch another competitor for the list in the not too distant future: we expect the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 to arrive for arrive on arrival during 2025.
It will be the successor of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 from 2024, and he will maintain the Samsung tradition each year to launch a new smartwatch (or two). Thought is that it could also be joined by another or two laptops when the day of the launch arrives.
Nothing is yet official, but here we have gathered all the leaks and rumors of Galaxy Watch 8 which have arrived so far: there is information here on everything, of an release date for design modifications , and we update this guide on a regular basis as well.

There have not been specific rumors at the moment when the Galaxy Watch 8 will appear or how much it could cost, but we can make informed assumptions by looking at the immediate predecessor of this next laptop: consult our complete Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Review For full full details.
The Galaxy Watch 7 broke the blanket on Wednesday July 10, 2024 – alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6, you may remember – and there is no Reason to think that Samsung will deviate too far away according to the same calendar in 2025. In other words, we can expect the Galaxy Watch 8 to appear around July 2025.
We have already seen the great unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, it would therefore be logical that a line of update foldables is introduced to the middle of the year – with a new smart watch or two in trailer. It is likely that we will also be entitled to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at the same time.
Regarding prices, we still have to count on what we know about the existing model: the Galaxy Watch 7 starts at $ 299 / £ 289 / $ 549 at the 40 mm version – with the larger 44 mm models and Lte costing more. There was no word as to whether the Galaxy Watch 8 will be more or less expensive, but that gives you an idea of the general price.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: leaks and rumors
- The classic model could come back
- Support for gestures can be incoming
It is just to say that there has been no flood of Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 leaks so far – it looks more like a net, to be honest. However, this should change as we get closer to the expected release date for the laptop, and we heard a lot about the Galaxy Watch 7 before it hides final.
A rumor that emerged is that we could see the return of the classic model. In 2024, we obtained the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra, but in 2023, Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch 6 and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic – Our Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic explains all the key characteristics of the watch.
The classic model has generally been more expensive and larger, with a rotating telescope to help navigate controls and menus. If that makes a return in 2025, it could mean that we obtain three Samsung smart watches this year – although the flight on this subject by making a return does not offer a lot of details.
Samsung would have worked on Microled Smartwatch Display Tech, so this is also a future potential upgrade in the Galaxy Watch range. Likewise, Samsung would return to the square design in the future.
We have also seen Samsung patents pointing to Smart ascent gestures to control televisions and an improved strap mechanism – but patents are patents, there is no guarantee that we will never see these features, and it is Unlikely that they are ready for the Galaxy Watch 7. We. We. “I will keep our ears on the ground and will make you know if we hear more.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: What we want to see
As good as the Galaxy Watch 7, there is always room for improvement with regard to portable devices. Based on our experiences with the Galaxy Watch 7 and what we recently saw other smart watches, here is what we hope for by The Galaxy Watch 8.
1. The return of the rotary telescope
Let’s start with the new feature we want who has been rumor: the return of the classic model with the rotary telescope. We hope that Samsung can find room for a standard, classic and ultra model this year, because a physical telescope makes such a difference when it comes to controlling what is on the screen – saving a lot of finger finger Rather imprecise.
2. Improvement of battery life
Yes, this is the lasting demand of all SmartWatch owners, because it makes a significant improvement in daily use. When a watch like the Garmin Instinct 3 offers up to 24 days of battery life – and this is the model with the AMOLED screen to the fact – then the approximately 24 hours you get galaxy watch 7 smells well below the peer.
3. A reworked look
If you look back through the history of past galaxy watches, you will see that there has not been too much variation when it comes to design, and this time, we hope it changes. We are less sure of how you innovate on the standard design of the smartwatch – but we believe that the Samsung team could find something.
4. Some added the AI - as long as it is useful
Samsung has bet strongly on AI in recent months, and how AI can summarize and simplify life should make it perfect to add to the convenience of portable devices – but Samsung must ensure that all the features of the ‘AI (like support or assistant notification summaries) are useful and precise, rather than just there for more than the AI.
5. Larger Android support
We understand why Samsung wants to develop a transparent experience for Galaxy phones owners with the Galaxy Watch, but other Android users are missing certain features and tricks. Make the Galaxy Watch 8 Plus compatible with the Fitbit and Android application more generally would give additional portable appeal outside the Samsung ecosystem.
