Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and Ultra 2 Rumored for 2025 Launch

by | Feb 3, 2025 | Galaxy Watch, News

Samsung might launch both Classic and Ultra-branded smartwatches this year. Rumors have already hinted at a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and now reports suggest an Ultra model is also in the works. Both could debut alongside the new foldables in the second half of the year.

Samsung to bring back a Classic watch this year, expand the Ultra lineup

For the past few years, Samsung has alternately launched a Classic smartwatch featuring a physical rotating bezel. There was a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in 2021 and a Watch 6 Classic in 2023. Continuing the trend, the company was expected to introduce a Watch 8 Classic this year. Sure enough, the device appeared on the GSMA database a few weeks ago, confirming the model number SM-L505U.

Now, X user @kro_roe claims that Samsung’s next-gen smartwatch lineup also includes an Ultra model. There have been speculations about the company potentially following a similar trend for the Ultra lineup. In 2022, when Samsun didn’t launch a Galaxy Watch 5 Classic, it introduced the Galaxy Watch Pro with a big battery. Last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra is sort of an upgraded version of the Pro.

If this rumor is accurate, Samsung may have decided that the Classic and Ultra lineups can co-exist, targeting a separate group of users. Of course, there will be a regular Galaxy Watch 8, so we are looking at three different models, and possibly five different sizes. More details should emerge in the coming months.

All of these upcoming Samsung smartwatches will go official alongside the new foldables in July or August this year. The Korean conglomerate may launch four new folding phones in 2025. The regular Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 may be accompanied by an entry-level Galaxy Z Flip FE and a tri-fold (aka multi-fold) supposedly called the Galaxy G Fold (really Samsung?). Stick around for more.
