At the recent Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung introduced its latest foldable phones – the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. But one of the most exciting launches was the new Galaxy Watch8, a smartwatch packed with smarter features and a more comfortable design.
What’s New in the Galaxy Watch8?
The Galaxy Watch8 focuses on improving key features like health tracking, design, and comfort. It also comes with some exciting new technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI).
Here’s what’s special:
First Smartwatch with Google Gemini AI
The Galaxy Watch8 is the first smartwatch to come with Google Gemini AI built-in, right out of the box. It runs on Wear OS 6 and works closely with Google to make the watch smarter and easier to use.
Using Gemini, you can now do multiple tasks with just one voice command. For example:
- “Hey Google, find a nearby café and text a friend to meet me there.”
- “Create a playlist for a 30-minute run.”
All of this happens hands-free—you just talk to your watch.
Smarter Health Features
Samsung has also added several AI-powered health tools like:
- Bedtime Guidance – for better sleep
- Running Coach – personalized fitness tips
- Energy Score – shows how ready your body is for the day
These features are powered by Galaxy AI and give you real-time insights, helping you make better health decisions.
New Design and Better Display
- The Galaxy Watch8 has a new “cushion” shape and dynamic band design that make it fit better on your wrist.
- The new BioActive sensor gives more accurate health data.
- The screen is brighter, with 3,000 nits peak brightness – that’s 50% more than before.
Faster Performance
- Powered by a 3nm Exynos W1000 chip
- Comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage
- Offers smooth and fast performance
Why AI Matters for Smartwatches
AI like Google Gemini is perfect for smartwatches because they’re always on and meant to make life easier. Right now, Gemini helps with:
- Sending messages
- Finding places
- Checking reminders or events
- Giving health tips
In the future, AI could help even more by:
- Creating personalized fitness and wellness plans
- Offering real-time advice based on your breathing, heart rate, and sleep
- Using voice, gestures, and touch for smoother control
Final Thoughts
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 isn’t just another smartwatch. It’s a step into the future of AI-powered wearables. With Google Gemini built-in, it offers smarter help, better health tracking, and a more natural way to interact.
