Starting at $349, the Galaxy Watch 8 costs $50 more than last year's model. However, it does come with a few improvements including a slightly bigger and bright display plus a larger battery. The Galaxy Watch 7 also featured a rounder case versus the Watch 8 which takes more inspiration from the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The new model is also thinner, though it weighs a bit more than the older model.
The 8 Classic is a big upgrade over its 6 Classic predecessor with a larger screen, storage capacity and battery. It also has a design more in line with the Ultra, with the square circle case design and a rotating bezel. It's also made of stainless steel versus the aluminum case of the Watch 8.
The updated Galaxy Watch Ultra is a slight refresh with a larger 64GB storage capacity and a new navy colorway.
Remember, these Galaxy Watch preorder deals are only available for a limited time.
