The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic is a smartwatch with a 46mm stainless steel case and a rotating bezel around the screen. You can turn the bezel to scroll lists and dismiss notifications, including with wet or gloved hands. It is heavier and thicker than the standard Galaxy Watch8 and has a more traditional watch look.
The watch has a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display at 438 x 438. It has 64GB of storage, double the standard Watch8, for music and maps. The 445mAh battery lasts up to 40 hours with the always-on display off.
It is rated 5ATM for water resistance, IP68 for dust and water, and MIL-STD-810H for durability. Sensors support ECG, heart rate and bioelectrical impedance measurements. It runs Wear OS powered by Samsung and requires an Android phone.
