Samsung changed the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic's rotating bezel, and it's mostly good news


Watch 6 Classic owners should like the Watch 8 Classic's ridged steel bezel for its style, but maybe not for its feel.

Physical controls define the "Classic" experience as much as the retro chic; it's why so many Samsung watch fans skip alternating years to avoid the mainline models' digital bezel. I'm thrilled to have swapped back to a Classic design after using the Galaxy Watch Ultra for a year, even if it meant losing battery life for exact controls.
