Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is right around the corner, and now a device has popped up on eBay to show off its new design and a key spec change.
As first highlighted by GSMArena, there’s a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic up for sale on eBay right now. The smartwatch will be bid on for the next few days which is interesting (and a bit funny) in its own right, but what’s far more revealing are the images within the listing.
This is our first hands-on look at the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and it reveals a lot, starting with the actual name of the device. We can also see Samsung’s new design here, with the smartwatch having a “squircle” design that’s shown up in previous leaks. The bezel is raised and looks like it would rotate, but there’s no mention to confirm that anywhere here.
An interesting detail on the box is that this watch has 64GB of storage, double that of even last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra. It’s also clear that this new smartwatch is adopting the band connection method that debuted on Galaxy Watch Ultra, meaning that pin-based bands won’t be compatible without an adapter of some kind. A leather band is pictured throughout, presumably being the one Samsung includes with the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.
Something else that is mentioned is that, for now, this watch is not fully operational as the Galaxy Wearable app cannot yet complete the setup process.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Watch 8 series in “early” July alongside its new foldables.
