The image shows a metal watch body paired with a black leather band. The watch includes two side buttons and what looks like a physical rotating bezel. One notable difference from Samsung’s previous Classic watch offerings is the “squircle” shape that debuted with the Galaxy Watch Ultra and that has undoubtedly become synonymous with it. This new design appears to be the direction that Samsung now wants to take with all of its watches.
Additionally, compared to older designs, the bezel appears slightly thinner, and the screen may be larger, although Samsung has not confirmed any of these details. We have also seen reports that the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic could feature a brighter display and better durability.
With multiple leaks now backing up the same design, it seems increasingly likely that the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is on the way with this updated look. Whether it can attract attention over the popular Ultra model remains to be seen, but the return of the rotating bezel and its new brand identity could help it stand out in Samsung’s expanding watch lineup.
