I am a big fan of smartwatches that don’t look techy. This is why I am a big fan of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. It looks much like a traditional watch, but brings all the benefits of modern technology. In this case, it comes with a traditional dark leather band. Paired with the nearly circular design, it offers a classic look.
Of course, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic does much more than look good. It’s also a very capable piece of modern technology. It all starts with a gorgeous Super AMOLED display with an impressive 3,000 nits of brightness, making it suitable for outdoor viewing under direct sunlight. It measures 1.37 inches and has a resolution of 438 x 438. It’s also protected by a sapphire crystal, a material usually reserved for high-quality watches (smart or not).

I am a huge fan of the rotating bezel, too. Not only does it resemble traditional diver watches, but it also adds another way to navigate and interact with the watch. You can rotate it to move around the UI.
Battery life is pretty nice, too. It can last about 30 hours with Always-On Display enabled, or 40 hours if you disable said feature.
