New “Squircle” Design on All Models
All three models Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra 2 are getting a new shape called a squircle. It’s a mix of a square and a circle. It looks modern and more consistent across the lineup.
- Watch 8: Clean look with 2 side buttons
- Watch 8 Classic: Bigger size, rotating bezel, 3 buttons (one is a new Quick Button)
- Watch Ultra 2: Rugged body, 3 buttons, new colors
Rotating Bezel Is Back!
Fans of the rotating bezel will be happy Samsung is bringing it back on the Watch 8 Classic. This feature was missing last year, and it helps users scroll and control the watch easily.
