The Classic sits between the lower end Watch 8 and premium Watch Ultra 2 in Samsung\u2019s latest Galaxy Watch line up. For this price, it hits a sweet spot with high-end design featuring the physically rotating bezel Samsung<\/a> watches of old were known for, giving you another way to scroll through menus as opposed to using the touchscreen.<\/p>\n

The Watch 8 Classic<\/a> pairs with any Android<\/a> phone but is best if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone, as this lets you use all its advanced tools such as ECG and blood pressure monitoring.<\/p>\n

A smartwatch like this is best if you want both the incoming notifications from your phone with third party app support, as well as up-to-the-minute health and fitness tracking. The Watch 8 Classic brings that, so you can answer WhatsApp<\/a> messages, download Spotify<\/a> playlists and track your runs via built-in GPS.<\/p>\n

The display is a generous, bright 1.34-inch AMOLED with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits so you can still see everything clearly in direct sunlight. The band, which is black or white depending on the model you choose, has a faux leather effect on the outside but is cleverly silicone on the inner, so you can still wear it for exercise.<\/p>\n

Samsung’s version of Google’s WearOS 6 software is also much improved on previous generations, with clearer menus and more intuitive ways to tap and flick around the OS. An always-on display means it\u2019ll show the time at, well, all times, though don\u2019t expect battery life to be world-beating. It should last you about two days on a single charge.<\/p>\n

But part of the appeal of a smartwatch like this is sleep tracking, so you\u2019ll likely want to charge it for a few minutes before bed to make sure you have enough juice in the tank. To be fair to Samsung, you\u2019ll experience the same brief battery life on the Apple Watch<\/a> and Google Pixel Watch.<\/p>\n

Amazon lists the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic as a \u201climited time deal\u201d<\/a>, so you may not have long to take advantage of this substantial smartwatch saving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Classic sits between the lower end Watch 8 and premium Watch Ultra 2 in Samsung\u2019s latest Galaxy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[2723,203,9863,59559,61,60,573,49393,1535,80],"class_list":["post-364676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-android","tag-gadgets","tag-galaxy-watch","tag-galaxy-watch-8-classic","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-galaxy-watch-8-classic","tag-smartwatch","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
