We can now be almost entirely sure what the Galaxy Watch8 series will look like, thanks to this latest batch of press renders, courtesy of Evan Blass.
The renders show the Galaxy Watch8 in Black, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic in White, and the Galaxy Watch8 Ultra 2 in Blue. The big thing this year is the move to a squickle design across the series – you may love it, some might loathe it, but it’s here to stay.
The vanilla Galaxy Watch8 has a flush glass top (most certainly sapphire), two separate buttons on the right and a loudspeaker on the left.
The new-look Galaxy Watch8 Classic features a rotating bezel around its 1.5-inch screen, and a new three-button layout on the right, which looks almost identical to the one on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, with a crown button in the middle and two buttons on its flanks. Whether the button will rotate or be just a pusher like on the Galaxy Watch Ultra is unclear.
Finally, the second-generation Galaxy Watch Ultra has a fixed blue-and-orange bezel, an orange middle button, and a grey titanium case.
Expect all three watches to feature Samsung’s existing Exynos W1000, LTE connectivity, and Wear OS 6. The new wearables are expected alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 on July 9.
