Key points to be aware of

  • A recent leak of Galaxy Watch 8 series renders showcased the anticipated squircle redesign of the base model, resembling the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
  • The base variant appears much sleeker and simpler, featuring only two physical buttons and a less pronounced crown.
  • Recently, an eBay listing revealed the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, offering a clear view of its rotating bezel, crown, and overall design.

Enthusiasm for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch series remains high, as another leak hints at a fresh design for the base model.

Additional renders, acquired by Android Headlines, demonstrate the new (and recognized) trajectory Samsung is pursuing with its Galaxy Watch 8 series. The focal point here is the proposed squircle design for the base Galaxy Watch 8 model. The imagery of the device in white suggests a more playful take on Samsung’s squircle design, first adopted by the Galaxy Watch Ultra in 2024.

The render depicted the watch with a somewhat square silver base and its circular watch face atop. The Galaxy Watch 8’s aesthetics are quite streamlined, featuring a moderate black border/bezel surrounding the circumference of the face.
