Samsung launched two new smartwatches this year — Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic. The Galaxy Watch 8 Series features the iconic cushion design that debuted on the Galaxy Watch Ultra last year. The new watches come with stunning features like Gemini AI, Dynamic Lug system, a good deal of health features, and new watch faces. Here, download and install latest Samsung Watch Faces from Galaxy Watch 8 for older models.

Samsung claims they have managed to create their thinnest Galaxy Watch ever, achieving an 11% reduction in thickness through a complete internal restructuring. The component mounting capability has been improved by 30%, allowing for more efficient use of space without compromising functionality.

The Dynamic Lug system deserves special mention. This system moves naturally with the wrist, providing enhanced comfort and improved stability that directly translates to better health-tracking accuracy. The Multi-Info Tiles provide easy access to health metrics, weather, events, and more in a single glance. The Now Bar and depthless notifications ensure that important information is always accessible without being intrusive.

The Galaxy Watch8 Series is the first smartwatch to come with Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, out of the box. Users can accomplish complex tasks through natural voice commands, such as finding nearby locations and coordinating with friends, all in one seamless interaction.
