Samsung could bring back a fan-favourite model and feature—a Galaxy Watch Classic with a rotating bezel.
Tipster @OnLeaks collaborated with @SammyGurus to publish high-resolution CAD renders and a 360-degree video of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.
The renders show what is allegedly the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic with a cushion-shaped case and a rotating bezel. The Classic model and rotating bezel disappeared last year with the launch of the Galaxy Watch7 lineup.
The rotating bezel was a fan-favourite feature because it helped Samsung differentiate its Galaxy Watches from the competition and it improves navigation—the bezel makes it easy to scroll through menus.
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will reportedly have a 1.5-inch display and a battery capacity of 450mAh. Its cushion case suggests that its overall aesthetic could very similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch 8 lineup sometime in July.
