With the latest Galaxy Watch8 Series, Samsung brings calm to the chaos, offering a refined and intelligent wearable designed to help you sleep better and live more mindfully this holiday season.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seamlessly fusing advanced sleep tracking, real-time stress monitoring, and an elegant minimal design, the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/watches/galaxy-watch/galaxy-watch8-44mm-silver-bluetooth-sm-l330nzsaasa/buy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Watch8</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/watches/galaxy-watch/galaxy-watch8-classic-46mm-black-bluetooth-sm-l500nzkaasa/buy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Watch8 Classic</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are your everyday partners in restoring balance, building healthier habits and navigating life with greater ease and intention.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Where performance meets peace of mind, right on your wrist</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Galaxy Watch8 Series makes staying active and managing stress feel natural. From easy jogs to serious runs, the </span><b>Running Coach </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">adapts to your level and goals, while </span><b>Together</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> turns motivations into a social game with friends and family.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7353" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Mindfulness-KV-1024x841.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="841" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Mindfulness-KV-1024x841.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Mindfulness-KV-685x563.jpg 685w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Mindfulness-KV-768x631.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the day gets overwhelming, the Galaxy Watch steps in with </span><b>High Stress Alerts </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">to keep you mindful.

Powered by Samsung’s most advanced </span><b>BioActive Sensor </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">yet,  the Galaxy watches deliver next-level health insights, tracking sleep patterns, heart rate, and stress signals in real-time.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7354" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/BioActive-Sensor_Antioxidant-Index-KV-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="682" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/BioActive-Sensor_Antioxidant-Index-KV-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/BioActive-Sensor_Antioxidant-Index-KV-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/BioActive-Sensor_Antioxidant-Index-KV-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Advanced sleep coaching, intuitive sleep apnea detection, and innovative features, such as the </span><b>Bedtime Guidance</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, go beyond counting hours to help you understand your circadian rhythm and recommend the ideal sleep window for a more restorative sleep.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While you sleep, the </span><b>Vascular Load </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">keeps tabs on the stress on your system, and the new </span><b>Antioxidant Index</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> measures carotenoid levels in just five seconds, empowering you with significant data to make smarter and healthier lifestyle choices as you age.</span></p>

The new </span><b>One UI 8 Watch </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">update introduces intelligent touches, such as the </span><b>Multi-Info Tiles </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">and the</span><b> Now Bar</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, giving you quicker access to the information that matters most, right when you need it.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7355" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Galaxy-Watch8-Product-KV-683x1024.jpg" alt="" width="683" height="1024" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Galaxy-Watch8-Product-KV-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Galaxy-Watch8-Product-KV-375x563.jpg 375w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Galaxy-Watch8-Product-KV-768x1152.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MANILA, Philippines</span><b> – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s no secret that Filipinos love Christmas. There&#8217;s a lot of things to be excited for: spending time with family, fun parties and of course, the gifts! That&#8217;s why a Christmas shopping strategy is important, now made easier with Samsung&#8217;s exclusive deals for Galaxy devices that make this Yuletide season even more special.</span></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><b>Beat the Rush, Beat the Stress</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starting your Christmas shopping in November is your first step in getting a stress-free and merrier Christmas. It means avoiding the chaotic December crowds at malls and online stores. You&#8217;ll have more time to browse, compare prices, and make thoughtful choices instead of panic-buying at the last minute. Plus, items are more likely to be in stock, so you won&#8217;t settle for second-choice gifts or worry about late deliveries.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And speaking of smart shopping, now’s the perfect time to explore exclusive offers on Galaxy devices. Whether you&#8217;re eyeing the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/smartphones/galaxy-s/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy S series</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/smartphones/galaxy-z/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Z series</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, take advantage of flexible payments, trade-in bonuses, and discounts on Galaxy Watch or Buds—available through December 31, 2025.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With their stellar cameras with AI Pro-Visual Engine, advanced AI capabilities of Galaxy AI, powerful performance, and sleek design, Galaxy devices are the perfect gift for everyone on your list.</span></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><b>Maximize Your Budget with Early Order Deals</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7316" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/006-product-galaxy-s25ultra-titaniumsilverblue-titaniumblack-titaniumgray-titaniumwhitesilver.jpg" alt="" width="8256" height="5504" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/006-product-galaxy-s25ultra-titaniumsilverblue-titaniumblack-titaniumgray-titaniumwhitesilver.jpg 8256w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/006-product-galaxy-s25ultra-titaniumsilverblue-titaniumblack-titaniumgray-titaniumwhitesilver-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/006-product-galaxy-s25ultra-titaniumsilverblue-titaniumblack-titaniumgray-titaniumwhitesilver-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/006-product-galaxy-s25ultra-titaniumsilverblue-titaniumblack-titaniumgray-titaniumwhitesilver-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 8256px) 100vw, 8256px" /></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">November is when big discounts and best deals open their doors. But with Samsung, your premium gifting is guaranteed and made accessible with its 0% Credit Card Installment Offers with longer terms with options extending up to 36 months for eligible credit card holders until the end of the year. This means you can give the gift of cutting-edge technology without the immediate financial burden – simply spread your payments over time while enjoying zero interest. (Per DTI Fair Trade Permit No. FTEB-237872 Series of 2025)</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Give the gift of a flagship experience with Samsung’s Trade-In/Trade-Up Program, available until December 31, 2025. Just trade in an old device—including non-Samsung smartphones, tablets, watches and buds—and receive its appraised value plus a Guaranteed Trade-In Bonus of ₱10,000. Select models also come with exclusive Upgrade and Switching Offers, making your transition smoother and more rewarding.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Trade-In/Trade-Up Program also applies to purchases of the Galaxy S and Z Flagship Series, as well as the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tablets/galaxy-tab-s/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Tab S Series</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.

<p><strong>NEW YORK – July 9, 2025 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.</strong> today introduced <a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/watches/galaxy-watch/galaxy-watch8-44mm-silver-bluetooth-sm-l330nzsaasa/buy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Galaxy Watch8</strong> and <strong>Galaxy Watch8 Classic</strong></a><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><strong>[1]</strong></span></a>, establishing an iconic design identity across the entire Galaxy Watch lineup. Building upon the foundation of the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s cushion design, this series boasts the thinnest, most comfortable Galaxy Watch ever<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> for continuous health tracking. The Galaxy Watch8 series suits diverse lifestyles and provides advanced capabilities, setting a new standard for style and personalized health experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We are committed to empowering billions of people to live healthier lives through our innovative technology,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “By combining purposeful design with advanced sensor technology and an intuitive AI-powered experience, the Galaxy Watch8 series serves as a starting point for a healthier, more connected life, making it easier than ever to take meaningful steps toward users’ well-being.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Redesigned Inside and Out for Ultimate Wellness</strong></h3>
<p>By reimagining both form and function, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers unmatched comfort alongside industry-leading performance, making it the ultimate companion for everyday wellness. <span>The</span> distinctive cushion design, which debuted with Galaxy Watch Ultra, now defines the entire Galaxy Watch lineup. To achieve the thinnest design yet, the internal structure of Galaxy Watch8 was completely reengineered and its component mounting capability has been improved by 30%, resulting in an 11% thinner design. Combined with the Dynamic Lug system, this design moves naturally with the wrist, providing greater comfort and improved stability<sup>2</sup> for a better fit and enhanced health-tracking accuracy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch8’s sleek profile is complemented by its exceptional performance. Even when you are outdoors under bright sunlight, the display is 50% brighter<sup>2</sup> with a peak brightness of 3,000nits for easy visibility, and the enhanced battery<sup>2</sup> ensures the watch can keep up with an active lifestyle. Moreover, the dual-frequency GPS provides more detailed and precise location results<sup>2</sup> while our most powerful 3nm processor delivers faster performance and greater power efficiency. With the groundbreaking BioActive Sensor that enables deeper and more accurate health insights, the Galaxy Watch8 series helps provide a holistic view of your health.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Motivation for Lasting Health Changes</strong></h3>
<p>Sleep is a window into your overall health and each restful night allows your body and mind to recover immediately the very next day. That’s why Samsung is continuously advancing the sleep experience, offering tailored sleep coaching, helping to create an optimal sleep environment, and even detecting moderate to severe signs of sleep apnea. On top of that, the Galaxy Watch8 series comes with <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/feature-stories/great-health-can-happen-overnight-with-galaxy-watch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new unique health features</a> on the Samsung Health app<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> that help you build healthier habits through instant, motivational insights – from sleep to nutrition and workout.</p>
