We have seen the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series, including a Classic model, appear in the Chinese certification listing. So while it’s no surprise that we’ll be seeing them appear online at some point, it is where it has showed up that was the mild shocker.
Serial leakster @OnLeaks has shared on X an eBay listing for what is allegedly the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic. With it are enough live images that it leaves nearly nothing else to the imagination. This includes a pairing screen noting the smartwatch’s name as well as one 0ZXT, though it’s unclear what that stands for.
Back to the smartwatch itself, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic has the look that’s quite reminiscent of the Ultra, with its circular bezel which sits on a bump above the square body with smoothened out corners. Perhaps the only element that’s left unclear is the way the straps attach to the main body. Also included in the listing is the image of the box showing a 64GB storage capacity, which is double that of the Ultra.
Beyond that, there are shots of the proprietary charger, and a few more of its underside, though not without a clear view of the sensors. There are also a few showing the pairing process, though it seems ultimately unsuccessful as, understandably, it doesn’t yet work with the Galaxy Wearable app.
The eBay listing for the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic, as it turns out, is an auction that ends later this week, with the bid at the time of writing being US$570 (~RM2,415). Considering it’s expected to debut alongside the foldables in July, that’s quite a bit ahead of the official launch. Though it probably won’t get access to its full functionality, unless the company enables it on the Galaxy Wearable app ahead of time.
