When Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra this year, many fans were disappointed because it didn't have a rotating bezel. However, the company seems to be working on a new Classic smartwatch.

Galaxy Watch 8 Classic could be launched in 2025

A new Samsung smartwatch was spotted in the GSMA database. The unannounced device, which SmartPrix spotted, carries model number SM-L505U. Based on Samsung's model numbering track record, it is a smartwatch with cellular connectivity, and it's a variant meant for the US market.

This model will mark the return of the Classic variant in the Galaxy Watch lineup. It will be called the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, according to the GSMA database.

There was a Classic model in the Galaxy Watch 4 series and the Galaxy Watch 6 series. The Classic model was replaced in the Galaxy Watch 5 series with the Galaxy Watch Pro. In the Galaxy Watch 7 series, Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

It isn't clear what new features the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic could bring. However, it is likely that it will feature a rotating bezel/dial. If you are someone who likes a Galaxy Watch with a rotating bezel, you need to wait until next year to get the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.

Usually, Samsung launches its smartwatches in the second half of the year. Going by its track record, the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic could be launched in July or August of 2025 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
