Modern life moves fast – between work, fitness, family and downtime, there is always something demanding our attention. For many people, finding balance in a world of deadlines, commitments and wellness goals is not easy.

This is where having the right technology and having it work seamlessly can make the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling in control.

Paired with the Samsung Galaxy Z Series, the new Galaxy Watch8 goes beyond simple health tracking. Working alongside the smartphone, it becomes part of a seamless ecosystem that keeps your life organised, balanced and connected.

Everyday balance made simple

Wellness has become the new wealth, but in a world that never slows down, balance often feels harder to achieve. The

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series

helps you put health right back at the top of the list with a holistic approach to tracking health and wellness metrics.

Picture waking up in the morning feeling well rested because the Galaxy Watch8 series’ Sleep Coach prompted you to have an early night. The Sleep Tracker feature also shows not only how many hours you slept, but the quality of your rest.

As you start your day, the Energy Score feature provides a daily snapshot of how your body is prepared to take on the day, helping you decide whether it will be a gym day or one focused on rest and recovery.

After breakfast, simply place your thumb on the watch’s sensor to measure your carotenoid levels, an indication of how healthy your current diet and lifestyle are. This antioxidant measurement feature is one of the first in a smartwatch.

In just five seconds, the BioActive Sensor uses multi-wavelength absorption technology to detect carotenoids in the skin and gives you a score from 0 to 100 that falls into one of three levels. The result reflects the influence of factors such as diet, stress, alcohol and sun exposure on your antioxidant level, giving you a handy early alert while encouraging you to make healthier choices throughout the day.

If you are looking to improve your health metrics, you will also find the Running Coach helpful. It creates personalised runs catered to your level of fitness, letting you train at your own pace and build progress. The Body Composition feature provides useful information, including your fat and muscle mass, which can help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Keeping your day in control

Beyond health and wellness, the Galaxy Watch8 is also designed to keep your everyday tasks in check and your daily life running smoothly. When paired with the

Galaxy Z Fold7

or the

Galaxy Z Flip7

, the smartwatch and phone combination transforms into an always-on ecosystem that helps you up your productivity with some very nifty integrated features.

Imagine wrapping up a meeting and seeing a gentle reminder on your watch that it is time to head to your next appointment, or discreetly glancing at the Galaxy Watch8 to catch an important message from your phone, while not breaking the flow of the conversation.

Together with the Galaxy Z series, the experience becomes even smarter. The Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung’s slimmest and lightest fold yet at less than 1cm thick when folded, opens up to a spacious display perfect for work or entertainment on the go. The Galaxy Z Flip7 offers a seamless viewing experience while sporting a compact and stylish form factor. Both phones are powered by Galaxy AI and Google’s Gemini, unlocking new ways to work smarter.

With Gemini, you can ask the Galaxy Watch8 series to handle tasks on your phone. Reply a message hands-free while jogging, create a reminder of where you parked your car, or summarise the contents of an email – all by simply speaking to the Galaxy Watch8.

Samsung has included some Galaxy-exclusive features as well. When paired with the Galaxy Z Fold7 or Z Flip7, the Galaxy Watch8’s Camera Controller app lets users control their phone’s camera using their watch so they can easily snap selfies and group shots from a distance.

Which Galaxy watch is right for you?

Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch8 comes in two models: the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic. The Galaxy Watch Ultra has also been refreshed with a 2025 version.
