India, Sept. 18 -- If ever there was a smart attempt at finding middle ground that'd work best for a broader demographic of potential buyers, this would be it. There may be distinct preferences otherwise, between a round smartwatch face or a squarer one. Samsung has blended the best of both worlds in the new Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, with a chassis that is square-ish while the display remains a familiar circle. This is something Samsung calls the cushion design, and this isn't purely a visual trick, for this opens up space for components and a stronger watch band attachment mechanism. An inspiration from something introduced in last year's Galaxy Watch Ultra and there's little wrong with it.
