- Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic with a brand-new Dynamic Lug System for watch bands.
- While the new system promises better comfort and 11% more accurate heart rate tracking, older Galaxy Watch bands and other standard third-party 20mm bands are no longer compatible with the new smartwatches.
- Users with a collection of older straps will need to invest in new ones designed for the Galaxy Watch 8 series.
Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. While there are welcome upgrades all around, the watches also introduce a new design element that might not sit well with longtime Galaxy Watch users.
The Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic have a new Dynamic Lug System that replaces the long-standing 20mm standard band compatibility seen across previous Galaxy Watch generations.
