Samsung didn’t change a whole lot with the Watch 7, though it had some welcome improvements, but things appear to be getting more of a shake-up for 2025. This is especially true of the design, which is taking on the ‘squircle’ design introduced with the original Galaxy Watch Ultra.

For users considering the base Galaxy Watch 8, it offers 32 GB of storage, which may be sufficient for lighter usage or those who don’t require extensive app or media storage. However, for power users, the Classic and Ultra models provide a clear advantage.

The leak also revealed details about the different watch bands included. The Galaxy 8 comes with a silicone band, while the Classic has a "Premium Hybrid Strap," which is reportedly a mix of leather and silicone or rubber. The Ultra version comes with the "Extreme Sports Bracelet," which is the same material as last year's Ultra.
