Galaxy Watch8
Built on the foundation of the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s cushion design, Galaxy Watch8 is 8.6 mm thin—offering a refined profile and snug, all-day comfort, thanks to its new Dynamic Lug System. Developed in close collaboration with Google, the Galaxy Watch8 series is the first smartwatch to come out of the box with Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, powered by Wear OS 6. Users can now go hands-free using natural voice commands to get things done on-the-go with the Galaxy Watch apps like Samsung Health, Calendar, Reminder and Clock.
Available in 40 mm and 44 mm sizes and finished in Graphite or Silver, Galaxy Watch8 features a dazzling Super AMOLED display with 3000 nits of peak brightness that ensures excellent visibility outdoors.
Under the hood, Galaxy Watch8 is powered by a 3 nm Exynos W1000 chipset powered by Wear OS 6 with Samsung’s One UI Watch 8 interface. Galaxy Watch8 features advanced sensor technology and creates an intuitive AI-powered experience to help users fulfill a healthier, more connected life. Leveraging Samsung’s BioActive Sensor for continuous health tracking, the watches deliver real-time insights and instant rewards or alerts across sleep, stress, nutrition and activity, turning healthy intentions into immediate, motivating feedback. Plus, for the first time in a smartwatch, Galaxy Watch8 has introduced the Antioxidant Index, enabling users to measure carotenoid levels in just five seconds and make informed lifestyle choices for healthy aging.
Notably, the Watch 8 Series comes with a 'Running Coach' feature — a groundbreaking addition designed to elevate marathon training through personalized guidance. It begins with a 12-minute running test to analyze the user's pre-training level, then provides a tailored program from a library of 160 options. During workouts, real-time voice coaching delivers instant feedback and motivation, while post-training insights offer detailed progress summaries and personalized recommendations — helping users optimize performance and achieve their fitness goals.
