The Galaxy Watch 8 series got Google Gemini before Google could add it to its own Pixel Watches.

At Wednesday's Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra, all of which have Google Gemini integrated into its One UI 8 Watch operating system. During the livestream, Samsung touted Gemini as a useful hands-free way to operate its health and fitness features.

Asking Gemini to "start a 300-calorie circuit training workout" activates Samsung Health behind the scenes, so you can track your workout without navigating to the app. Other examples include using Gemini as a voice assistant to send messages or schedule calendar events. Whether as a health and fitness coach or personal assistant, Gemini on the Watch 8 series introduces an exciting new use case for AI wearables.

Earlier in the event, Samsung shared the Google Gemini integration with its new foldable phones, the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. Ever since debuting Galaxy AI a few years ago, it has maintained heavy focus on bringing AI features to its devices, and this event was very much on brand with those efforts.

Preorders for the three new models in the Galaxy Watch 8 series start today, and going on sale July 25. Here's the price breakdown:

  • Galaxy Watch 8: $349 for WiFi, $399 for WiFi plus 4G LTE

  • Galaxy Watch 8 Classic: $499 for WiFi, $549 for WiFi plus 4G LTE

  • Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025): $649 for WiFi plus 4G LTE
