Galaxy Watch 8 (2025)

Seriously tho, I've always wondered this. What are you crashing your watch into to break the protectors? I've been wearing a Samsung watch since the first Samsung Gear Fitb so +/- 11 years.... Raw dogging it the entire time... I now have Watch 8.. and have never even scratched a screen. Real questio

I'm sad that Samsung is abandoning the round shape for their watches in favor of the squircle (Ultra and now GW8). GW7 for the <3

I couldn't ever get past the squircle, ugly bottle cap bezel and smaller screen. Also sticking to my GW6C 47mm.

Thanks for the breakdown and info. The design of the 8 Classic is my final Samsung straw, so leaving the whole brand.

Sad that Samsung could not withstand the pressure of some fans and the competitive struggle with Apple's design. I hope in fut

I understand you. Problem my opinion is that Samsung trying to connect both design circle and square like is Apple watches is (i mean square). That's, my opinion, is mistake. Samsung uniqueness was circle design againts Apple watches. Samsung couldn't do square too because will be another copy like

Yup - 1.5cm for GW6 classic 47mm version vs 1.34cm for the GW8 classic. I think there is also some appearance effect, given the all black GW6. https://www.androidcentral.com/wearables/samsung-galaxy-watch/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic-vs-galaxy-watch-6-classic I made the same decision and will get

I've had a Samsung watch from every generation starting from the gear S3. I really liked the more classic look. The 7 series was the first time I got something below the top of the line because the Ultra was just so ugly. I was so excited to get the 8 classic until I saw it. I know people say it loo
