Exciting changes are coming to the Samsung Galaxy Watch series! Recent leaks suggest that the highly anticipated Galaxy Watch 8 will break away from the traditional fully circular design that Samsung fans have come to expect.

According to newly surfaced images from leaked firmware, the Galaxy Watch 8 and its sibling, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, are set to flaunt a bold new look. This shift to a design dubbed 'squircle,' blending square and circular features, marks a significant upgrade reminiscent of the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Spotted by Android Authority, these images reveal a smartwatch with a circular display but with a more squared-off overall shape, noticeably elevating the buttons as well. The standard Watch 8 model will maintain its two-button layout, while the Classic will feature three buttons, similar to the Ultra. It's still unclear how the Classic will differ from the Ultra beyond the anticipated rotating bezel.

Samsung isn’t shy about teasing this new design. During their latest earnings call, the company hinted at "innovative designs" for the upcoming Galaxy Watch, promising enhanced health features and a premium experience.

While we await official confirmation, it looks like the familiar design we've loved for years may be evolving. What do you think about this bold new direction for Samsung's smartwatches?

Stay tuned for more updates on the Galaxy Watch 8, including any sneak peeks into its features and pricing!
