Samsung’s smartwatch lineup is widely regarded for its features and versatility, but the naming convention has often left consumers scratching their heads. Amid the confusion, fans of the brand can finally rejoice, as Samsung appears set to bring back one of its most beloved smartwatch designs: the Galaxy Watch Classic.
Although Samsung skipped releasing a Classic variant in some recent generations, the distinct, traditional aesthetic of the Classic line has made it a favorite among users looking for a smartwatch that feels more like a timeless wristwatch. The latest sign of its return is a new listing on the Bluetooth SIG database, where the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic name has surfaced. While the listing (model number SM-L505U) doesn’t disclose specifications, it confirms what many had hoped: the Classic is making a comeback.
What continues to set the Classic series apart is its rotating bezel, a fan-favorite feature that enhances navigation while preserving the look of a conventional timepiece. While it hasn’t been confirmed whether the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will retain this iconic design element, its inclusion would surely delight long-time users and traditional watch lovers alike.
Samsung traditionally holds its major smartwatch announcements during the summer, and all signs point to a July launch, coinciding with the debut of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. This timing would be ideal to showcase a refreshed Galaxy Watch lineup, including the long-awaited Classic variant.
Though concrete specs and features remain under wraps for now, leaks and unofficial sources are expected to paint a clearer picture in the coming weeks. One thing is certain: the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is real, and it’s on its way—marking the return of one of Samsung’s most iconic smartwatch series.
