As for the new smartwatch itself, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 is based on the Cushion Design language Samsung introduced with the Ultra model last year. It also has the Dynamic Lug system for swapping wrist straps with ease. It marks the first major redesign for the base model since the Galaxy Watch 4.

Not only does the Galaxy Watch 8 look unique, but these design changes made it more accurate than the Galaxy Watch 7, despite both having the same BioActive sensor.

Because of these design cues, the smartwatch offers a better fit on the wrist, which in turn improves the sensor's health and fitness tracking accuracy. Samsung also completely re-engineered the Galaxy Watch 8 on the inside, resulting in a thinner profile.

The new Galaxy Watch 8 also provides direct access to the latest One UI 8 Watch update and all of the latest fitness and health features, including Vascular Load, Antioxidant Index, Bedtime Guidance, Running Coach, and more.
