The previous generation was once available for free if you purchased a Samsung phone, but more recent promotions offered the smaller version of the watch for $10/month. We expect similar deals to appear once the Galaxy Watch 8 is officially released.

“We believe that wearable technology should adapt to the user, not the other way around,” said Hon Pak, SVP and Head of the Digital Health Team at Samsung Electronics. “Our innovations in the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Ring, and Samsung Health represent our commitment to making health management effortless and accessible for everyone.”

As reported by Smartprix (via SamMobile ), a device with the model number SM-L505U and the name "Galaxy Watch 8 Classic" has been spotted in the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) database – where every device that wants to connect to cell networks has to be registered.
