0:00So, by the time this video comes out,
0:01you’ve probably already watched our
0:03videos on the Samsung Galaxy Zfold 7 and
0:08also the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 along
0:10with the Z Flip FE. But did you know
0:12that aside from these two phones,
0:14Samsung also launched a bunch of
0:16wearables at the Galaxy Unpacked event?
0:18And in fact, I’m wearing one of them
0:20right now. This is the new Samsung
0:23Galaxy Watch Ultra. And here with me is
0:26the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Series 8.
0:30Over here on my left is the standard
0:32Series 8 model. And on my right is the
0:35classic model which has a rotating bezel
0:38which you can use to navigate the menu.
0:41It’s perfect if you miss the old Samsung
0:43Galaxy watches that still had the
0:45rotating bezel to navigate around the
0:48menu. But which one of these should you
0:50pick? Well, stay tuned for a quick
0:52hands-on review video of the new Samsung
0:54Galaxy Watch Series 8 and the new Galaxy
0:56Watch Ultra on my wrist right now.
1:03[Music]
1:06Let’s start things off with the new
1:07Galaxy Watch 8 series. There are two
1:09variants of the Watch 8 available, the
1:10standard Watch 8 and the Watch 8
1:12Classic. The main difference between the
1:14two, the Watch 8 Classic comes with a
1:16rotating bezel, a feature that Galaxy
1:18Watch users have surely missed from the
1:20Watch 7 series. As for the standard
1:22Watch 8, it doesn’t come with a rotating
1:24bezel. In terms of the styling, the
1:26regular Watch 8 adopts a fresh new
1:28design featuring a squarish case paired
1:30with a circular display which is
1:31inspired by the Watch Ultra. It is
1:33available in two different sizes, 40 mm
1:35and 44 mm. The 40mm model features a
1:38smaller 1.34 in display while the 44mm
1:40model comes with a 1.47 and 47in
1:43display. Both use a super AMOLED panel
1:44with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness.
1:47No matter which variant you choose, they
1:49are noticeably thinner, measuring just
1:508.6 mm thick. As for the Watch 8
1:53Classic, it only comes in one size,
1:55that’s 46 mm. This means if you have a
1:57smaller wrist, it might look a bit big
1:59on you, but on my wrist and Miguel’s
2:00wrist, it looks great. It also adopts
2:02the squarish case seen on the standard
2:04Watch 8, but this time it has a rotating
2:06bezel that gives it a sporty look and
2:08feel. One thing that is new on the Watch
2:098 Classic is the addition of the quick
2:11button. Similar to the one on the Galaxy
2:13Watch Ultra, it’s the crown located in
2:15between the two buttons on the case. It
2:17can also be programmed to use in various
2:19ways. Despite measuring 46 mm, the Watch
2:228 Classic features a 1.34 in display
2:25using the same Super AMOLED panel with
2:263,000 nits peak brightness as the
2:28standard watch 8. Thanks to its design,
2:30it is a bit thicker, measuring 10.6 mm,
2:32but at least you do get a rotating
2:34bezel. Two colors are available for the
2:36Watch 8 Classic, white and black. The
2:37case itself remains standard with a
2:39brush metal finish, while the bezel and
2:41strap change colors. Both the Watch 8
2:43and Watch 8 Classic use the Exynos W1003
2:46nanometer chip with 2 GB of RAM.
2:48However, the Watch 8 comes with only 32
2:50GB of storage, while the 8 Classic is
2:52doubled at 64 GB. For reference, it’s
2:54the same chip found in the previous
2:56Watch 7 series. While the chipset is
2:58carryover from before, the battery is
3:00marginally bigger. The 40mm Watch 8 now
3:03features a 325m hour battery, while the
3:0644mm variant comes with 435 mAh battery.
3:09Meanwhile, the Watch 8 Classic is
3:11equipped with a 445 millia battery pack.
3:14Both watches ship with One UI8 watch,
3:16which comes with a bunch of new
3:18features, including real-time feedback
3:20during workouts, high stress alert, and
3:22even a mood tracker. Due to our limited
3:24time with the device, we didn’t really
3:25get to try them out. However, stay tuned
3:27for our full review, so you can see us
3:28trying out these new features. As for
3:30the Watch Ultra, it’s not exactly the
3:32new Watch Ultra 2 as we expected.
3:34Instead, it’s more of an update from
3:36last year. The design is identical
3:38before, but it does get a new color,
3:40titanium blue. There’s also a lot more
3:42storage space available now, which is 64
3:44GB. And that’s pretty much it on the new
3:48watch Ultra, or rather updated Watch
3:50Ultra. It also ships with 1 UI 8 watch,
3:52giving it the same features as the new
3:54Watch 8 series. Now, for the price,
3:56similar to the new foldable smartphones,
3:58there’s also a price hike for Samsung’s
3:59new wearables. The 40mm Galaxy Watch 8
4:02starts at 20,990 pesos, while the 44mm
4:05variant cost 22,990 pesos. If you want
4:08the LTE version of the 40mm Watch 8,
4:10that will set you back 23,990 pesos. As
4:13for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, it
4:15starts at 29,990 pesos, while the LTE
4:17variant retails for 32,990 pesos.
4:20Lastly, the updated Galaxy Watch Ultra
4:22now retails at 40,990 pesos. Yes,
4:26they’re a lot more expensive now. But if
4:27you bundle it with the phones, you might
4:28be able to get them at a discount or
4:30even for free. Check out the Samsung
4:32Philippines website and see for yourself
4:34what you can get for the new Galaxy
4:36Watch 8 series and the updated Galaxy
4:38Watch Ultra. Now that you’ve seen all of
4:41the new Samsung Galaxy Watches, which
4:43one is for you? Would you pick the
4:46Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra or would you
4:49get the Samsung Galaxy Watch Series 8
4:51Classic or would you even get just the
4:54standard Samsung Galaxy Watch Series 8?
