Specifications

Price (US)Not published No fetched page yielded a clean base-config US MSRP for the 40mm Bluetooth variant. The Samsung Ireland source page shows no numeric price. The Amazon US corroboration URL (B0F7PN7C8Z) re-fetched to an Amazon bot-block placeholder ("Continue shopping", 163 chars) with no price.

Source: samsung.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by amazon.com. Verified against the Samsung Ireland official specs page for the exact SKU SM-L320NDAAEUA (Galaxy Watch8 Bluetooth, 40 mm, Graphite) — model, name and capacity match confirmed, no sibling/variant substitution. Confirmed verbatim on that page: 40 mm case (Body Dimension 42.7 x 40.4 x 8.6 mm; FAQ "two sizes, Small (40 mm) and Large (44 mm)"), Super AMOLED main display ("Technology (Main Display): Super AMOLED", 438x438, 1.3in, up to 3000 nits), 325 mAh battery rated "Up to 30 hrs (*AOD On)" (Usage Time AOD-off up to 40 hr) — battery_hr=30 uses the AOD-on figure, L1+L5 dual-frequency GPS (Location Technology: GPS, Glonass, Beidou, Galileo), "5ATM + IP68 / MIL-STD-810H" durability with spec table "Durability: 5 ATM" (=50 m via standard ATM-to-metres rating), ECG via the Electrical Heart Sensor (Sensors list + Health list includes ECG), Body Weight 30.0 g, and both Bluetooth and Bluetooth+LTE models offered (lte_option=true). os NULLED: the fetched Samsung page lists OS only as "Wear OS Powered by Samsung" — the string "Wear OS 6" could not be found verbatim on any fetched page (the Google Fi page cited in the prior write-up was not re-fetched this pass), so os was set to null. Corroboration URL (Amazon B0F7PN7C8Z) returned only an Amazon bot-block placeholder ("Continue shopping", 163 chars) on re-fetch and corroborated nothing; every surviving spec value is therefore taken directly from the Samsung source page. Release 2025-07 is supported on the Samsung page itself by this exact SKU's downloadable User Manual dated 18.07.2025 plus The Verge and CNET review citations dated 07/2025. priceUsd left null: no fetched page yielded a clean base-config US MSRP. Surviving spec keys: 9 of 10 (only os nulled), above the half threshold, so publish remains true.
