Samsung Keeps 4-Watch Lineup Unchanged After 2026 Review
3 articles · Updated · PCMag · Jun 12
Summary
June 12’s review left Samsung’s recommended wearable lineup unchanged: Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, Watch Ultra, and the lower-cost Watch FE.
The refresh was a currency-and-availability check rather than a product shake-up, with editors reaffirming the current picks instead of adding or dropping models.
Galaxy Watch 8 remained the top choice for most buyers, helped by new AI wellness features, built-in Google Gemini, and a 3,000-nit display despite one-day battery life.
Watch 8 Classic stayed the battery-focused premium option with about 2 days of use, while Watch Ultra remained the rugged pick and Watch FE the budget smartwatch alternative.
The broader lineup still reflects Samsung’s Wear OS era, with Google apps preinstalled across current watches and the Galaxy Ring noted as a health-tracking alternative.
