Questions and answers
Does the Galaxy Watch8 work with an iPhone?
No. It needs an Android phone running Android 12 or newer. Some health features, such as ECG, need a Samsung Galaxy phone.
What is the difference between the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic?
The Classic has a rotating bezel, a larger 46 mm case and longer battery life in tests. The standard Watch8 is slimmer, lighter and cheaper.
Should I buy the Galaxy Watch8 or the Galaxy Watch9?
The Watch9, released in July 2026, has a newer chip, thinner bezels and a few extra features. The Watch8 has the same 3000-nit brightness and similar everyday speed, and costs less.
