Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic Review: Everything to know!

After one full month of daily use, I can confidently say the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is the best-designed smartwatch I’ve ever worn in 2025. I’ve used everything from Apple Watches to Pixel Watches, and nothing strikes the perfect balance between classic timepiece aesthetics and modern smartwatch features like this. From the satisfying rotating bezel to the premium stainless steel build, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic genuinely feels like a real luxury watch—just smarter. Battery life is decent, typically lasting a little more than one day on a single charge. The AMOLED display is bright, crisp, and stays legible even under direct Florida sun. Software is fast and smooth, with seamless integration when paired with my Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s hands-down one of the smoothest smartwatch experience I’ve had in years. Now, it’s not perfect—especially when it comes to fitness tracking. While the Samsung BioActive sensor covers basics like heart rate, sleep, and SpO2, it doesn’t match the advanced accuracy of Garmin, Pixel Watch 4, or Apple Watch Ultra 3 for serious athletes. That said, if you're in the Samsung ecosystem and want a premium smartwatch that looks amazing, runs fast, and does nearly everything right? The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic might be the best smartwatch for Android users in 2025.
