Features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Series
Ultra Comfort and Performance
The
Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series presents an evolution in both design and functionality, introducing a unique cushion design that began with the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The internal structure has been completely redesigned to make the watch approximately 11% thinner than previous models and improve the internal component implementation efficiency by around 30%. This results in better fitting to wrist movements and enhanced health tracking accuracy.
The display brightness has increased by approximately 50% compared to earlier models, supporting a maximal high brightness of up to
3,000 nits. Battery performance has also improved to support active lifestyles effectively. Featuring dual GPS, users can expect high-precision location data, while the powerful 3nm processor enhances processing speeds and optimizes power efficiency.
Personal Health Coach with New Features
A key focus of the new watches is
sleep management, delivering personalized sleep coaching insights based on tracking sleep cycles and durations. With the new Samsung Health app, users receive immediate feedback and insights regarding sleep, nutrition, and workout habits, promoting healthier lifestyles. The sleep guidance feature helps users find optimal bedtimes and monitor conditions affecting their sleep quality.
For health insights, the watches now include the innovative
antioxidant index, providing users with a rapid measure of their carotenoid levels, helping them assess daily habits effectively. Moreover, the integrated features include real-time feedback on stress levels, assisting in self-management and mindfulness practices.
Design Tailored to Every Lifestyle
The watches are designed with minimalistic aesthetics, available in 40mm and 44mm sizes in colors like graphite and silver. The
Galaxy Watch8 Classic features advanced elements such as a rotating bezel and quick buttons, presented in a stylish 46mm size.
