For the first time, readers can now view official render images of the Galaxy Watch 8 series in unadulterated form without a watermark after US leaker Evan Blass recently emailed three images to subscribers. The unusual format of the Galaxy Watch Ultra appears to becoming the norm.
The press photos of the Galaxy Watch 8 series recently sent by Evan Blass via email are no longer a surprise, but they have never been seen before in their original form without the leaker's occasionally prominent watermark in the way. All three Galaxy Watch 8 models are seen from the front, in contrast to the last leak, which showed a slightly sideways angle.
The new images confirm that Samsung is making the unusual combination of the round display and slightly angular case of the Galaxy Watch Ultra the standard across the entire Galaxy Watch 8 portfolio in 2025. The successors to the Galaxy Watch 7 will also be launched in this format, including the Classic version, which will be available once again this year and features a rotating bezel.
According to Evan Blass, the Galaxy Watch Ultra will be launched as the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025). Previous leaks have already provided one or two hints about the technical innovations and similarities with its predecessors. Model variants with 64 GB of storage are apparently also planned, as an eBay link pointed out, although the Exynos W1000 chipset is likely to remain in service for at least another year. Moreover, Samsung may have already indirectly revealed the launch date of its Unpacked event, namely mid-July 2025.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
