Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (46mm/BT): was CA$699 now CA$599 at Samsung (Canada)

The Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic are virtually identical wearables on the inside: same processor, same health sensors, same Gemini integration, same software experience. However, the Classic brings back Samsung’s signature rotating bezel and opts for a stainless steel build, which gives it a chunkier, albeit more elevated feel. It’s also slightly heavier and only comes in one size (46mm), making it better suited for those who prefer a larger, more traditional watch design.

The Galaxy Watch 8 is one of our favorite smartwatches for Android. It features Google's Gemini voice assistant built in, which blows the Siri experience on the Apple Watch out of the water.

If you want a premium experience, the Galaxy 8 Watch Classic is the way to go. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is our favorite Android smartwatch, thanks to more detailed/actionable holistic insights and a more engaging tactile interface. It also adds ten hours to the overall battery life performance, along with a rotating bezel and an extra custom button.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 8 is a great smartwatch of you're on a budget. We like that it offers a small smattering of new wellness tools, a brighter screen, and Google’s Gemini AI assistant built in. Make sure to read our Galaxy Watch 8 review for our full thoughts on Samsung's watches.
