About the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (2025) brings back Samsung's signature physical rotating bezel in a 46mm stainless steel case with the new cushion design. It runs the 3nm Exynos W1000 with a 445mAh battery — roughly two full days per charge in independent testing — on Samsung's latest One UI Watch.
Like every Galaxy Watch, the 8 Classic officially requires an Android phone with Galaxy Wearable for setup; iPhone doesn't appear on Samsung's compatibility list. With Lynio on your iPhone and Lynio Watch installed from the Play Store on the watch, pairing takes about three minutes — brief access to an Android phone may be needed once, depending on the watch's setup state.
The rotating bezel is genuinely useful with Lynio: scroll through mirrored iPhone notifications without smudging the display. As an Optimized model, calls, contacts, Apple Health sync and auto-reconnect are all tuned for the 8 Classic.
