You have to hand it to Samsung -- the company has never been afraid to break from the cookie-cutter smartwatch mold. Unlike the predictable updates from its competitors, Samsung surprises us nearly every year. The new Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, announced at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, blend design cues from previous generations: There's the Ultra's functional, squared-off frame and the romantic elegance of the Classic's physical rotating bezel -- a feature that made me fall
