Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra (2025) go on sale a bit later

Samsung kicked off early reservations on June 24, keeping in line with its typical two-phase rollout. That’s followed by a two-week pre-order window, giving fans enough time to secure their preferred model. The pre-order period began immediately after launch and will run through July 24. That means the Galaxy Watch 8 series will go on sale starting July 25.

But if you lock in a pre-order, you’ll be eligible for a range of perks, including boosted trade-in credits, bonus bands, and exclusive discounts. We’re also bringing back our mystery box offer, where we send a curated surprise pack to your doorstep completely free of charge. We do this by sharing a portion of our affiliate earnings and giving back to our community. And yes, we cover all the shipping too, no strings attached.

Pair Samsung’s official offers with our mystery box deal, and you’re looking at some of the best value you’ll get this launch season. And if you’re thinking of upgrading from an older model, now’s the time, as this year’s Galaxy Watch lineup brings solid improvements across the board. And yes, the rotating bezel is finally back, just as fans have been hoping for.

All models run Wear OS 6 with One UI 8 Watch, offering new features like Bedtime Guidance, improved workout coaching, and better integration with Galaxy phones. What’s the star of the show, probably, is the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which longtime fans will appreciate. It features the physical rotating bezel, a signature element that was noticeably missing from last year’s lineup.
