Samsung Malaysia has officially launched the highly anticipated Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic, redefining the smart wearable experience for 2025.
Designed for everyday wellness and powered by cutting-edge AI, the latest Galaxy Watch series delivers a sleeker, thinner build, more advanced sensors, and personalized health insights—all starting from RM1,299.
From improved sleep coaching to real-time stress alerts and a brand-new antioxidant index, Galaxy Watch8 aims to be your all-in-one companion from bedtime to workout.
Galaxy Watch8 : A Redesigned Watch, Inside and Out
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic borrow design cues from the recently unveiled Galaxy Watch Ultra, notably the cushion-style body that improves wrist comfort and wearability.
The Watch8 is now 11% thinner than its predecessor, thanks to a reengineered internal layout and enhanced component placement. Combined with the Dynamic Lug system, the smartwatch naturally moves with your wrist, improving tracking accuracy while maximizing comfort.
The 2025 version also delivers up to 50% brighter display visibility with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits—making it ideal for outdoor use. Its enhanced battery life and dual-frequency GPS mean users get precise location tracking and extended performance even during long workouts or hikes.
Wellness at the Core: AI-Powered Health Insights
Samsung is betting big on personalized wellness this year. The Galaxy Watch8 series comes with its most advanced BioActive Sensor yet, delivering deep, accurate health insights to help users understand and act on their wellness data.
One standout feature is the Antioxidant Index, a world-first on any smartwatch. This feature allows users to check their carotenoid levels (a key indicator of oxidative stress and aging) in just five seconds. It’s a leap forward for preventive wellness and healthy aging.
The Bedtime Guidance tool reads your circadian rhythm and sleep pressure to suggest optimal bedtime routines, while the Vascular Load indicator tracks stress levels on your cardiovascular system while you sleep.
Coupled with Running Coach, which customizes training plans based on fitness level, and High Stress Alerts, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers a holistic health ecosystem right on your wrist.
The Energy Score adds an AI twist by combining physical and mental metrics to give you a simple, daily energy snapshot.
Seamless Integration with Gemini AI & Wear OS 6
One of the most exciting updates in the Galaxy Watch8 series is its native integration with Gemini, Google’s AI assistant. This makes it the first smartwatch to run Wear OS 6 straight out of the box.
Whether you’re asking Gemini to plan your day, start a workout, or send a message, it responds with smart, context-aware commands.
The updated One UI 8 Watch interface introduces Multi-Info Tiles, letting users view weather, calendar events, and health stats in a single glance. The new Now Bar and optimized notification system ensure that essential actions are front and center—minimizing distractions and maximizing usability.
Tailored to Match Every Lifestyle
Whether you prefer minimalist or classic design, Samsung has an option for you. The Galaxy Watch8 is available in 44mm and 40mm sizes in Graphite and Silver.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic features the iconic rotating bezel and comes in 46mm Black or White versions, giving it a timeless analog-meets-digital aesthetic.
Those with an adventurous spirit can opt for the Galaxy Watch Ultra—Samsung’s most robust and performance-driven model. It offers superior battery life, four titanium finishes (including the new Titanium Blue), and enhanced durability.
The Ultra is ideal for explorers and outdoor athletes who demand the highest standards from their wearables.
