Galaxy Watch8 (up to $250 in pre-order savings) https://mikeobrienmedia.com/Watch8
The Galaxy Watch classic is back with that unique and satisfying rotating bezel, the premium stainless steel aesthetic, and new features, but this time, with a major redesign in the Galaxy Watch8 Classic. I had some hands-on time to try it out before launch and here are my first thoughts, as well as all the new features you need to know about

Additional video notes:
DESIGN
Looks like the Ultra and the 6 Classic had a baby
Squircle
For years, we were going for a better screen to body ratio with thinner bezels, and then this squircle design just throws that all out the window
2 colors, black and silver
Comes with a leather hybrid strap
Physical rotating bezel (talk about this for a bit)
Feels more deliberate than before thanks to ridges
Now has a third button on the side
Strap mechanism changed
Biosensor has changes
Now only comes in one size - 46mm (used to be 43 & 47mm)
Display size matches smaller galaxy watch8 with 1.37” screen
Now significantly brighter, with new peak brightness of 3000 nits
I’m not convinced this looks better than the Galaxy Watch6 Classic. I will make a side by side comparison once I have one in the studio. Be sure to subscribe if you want to see that. Also, leave a comment if you would like this compared to any other watches!
Price? Check the link below. You can pre-order and get some nice perks as well. All explained in the description.
HEALTH CHANGES
Antioxidant levels
Press thumb on back, measure, get score, track over time
Higher number is better. Many modern diets are deficient in fruits and vegetables
This is not FDA approved
Uses LEDs in the biosensor to detect something on your skin. Apparently it was accurate enough. I scored 57/100 which is not great I do eat a lot of fruits, but I guess I could eat more vegetables. When I get one in the studio, I’ll do repeat testing to see if it is consistent and see if I can change it with diet
I was told it takes up to 2 weeks to move your score significantly
*Vascular load
Bedtime guidance
GEMINI
Now I know AI is thrown around a ton, and I am the first to say most of it is just marketing garbage. For example, I never ever use the Now Brief on my samsung phone. It just tells me the weather and gives a random unrelated spotify playlist.
But this? This is actually significant. I’ve been saying for years watches need voice AI features the most.
Voice commands to start workouts, (pizza example)
inquire about health stats,
and even do complex things like start a workout AND start my playlist
Plus normal Gemini stuff you would expect. I can see this being useful for cooking or other situations where phone isn't available
Not perfect yet. I am excited to try it and find the limits. For example, I can ask about my sleep, but can I ask for a run workout to improve my HRV given my current status or injuries?
FITNESS CHANGES
Running coach
Some other changes expected, but still no triathlon tracking unless you manually create a multisport routine. Does have multiband L1 & L5 GPS, still has ECG, bioimpedance, etc.
I will make an in-depth review of the accuracy of the Watch8 Classic as soon as I have it in the studio, so get subscribed if you want to see that!
Comes with oneui8 preloaded
Also, the Watch8 was launched at the same time. I am publishing a video about the 12 things new about that based on my hands on time and first impressio
