Full Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series to be seen before launch

We are getting new smartwatches from Samsung this fall, called the Galaxy Watch 8 series. Earlier we told you that the Watch 8 Classic will have a squircle design, a combination of a circle and a square, and today we also know what the Watch 8 and the new Watch Ultra will look like.

It has AndroidHeadlines managed to secure press images of the Samsung Watch 8, the Watch 8 Classic and the new Watch Ultra. The lineup will look pretty much the same with the controversial squircle design introduced with the first Watch Ultra.

Galaxy Watch 8

The regular Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 gets the least amount of frills but looks a lot bulkier due to the new design. Opinions on whether it is beautiful or not are somewhat divided. The watch does not have a central button like the Watch 8 Classic and the new Watch Ultra. We do find two control buttons on the right side, as with the Watch 7.

Galaxy Watch 8 Classic

The Watch 8 Classic revealed itself earlier thanks to published renders and photos of someone posting the watch on eBay. Here, Samsung may fit a rotating bezel around the screen that would make the different design seem less noticeable. One size of the watch may come out; only a 46mm version. We do expect two different sizes of the entry-level Watch 8.

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2

And then the Watch Ultra 2, as we currently refer to it. We see it in a silver-gray case with a dark blue Navy strap. Judging from the image, we see no difference from the current Galaxy Watch Ultra. We do not rule out the possibility that Samsung is just releasing a new color for this reason.

Galaxy Watch 8 series announcement

And that only leaves the question of when Samsung will announce these three new smartwatches. We haven't heard hard dates and times in the rumor circuit yet. But looking at previous Unpacked events where Samsung presented new Galaxy Watches, July and August are the most logical candidates.

Once announced we presumably won't have to wait long before they hit stores either. Prices are not yet known but will be in line with its predecessors.
