Future Samsung Galaxy Watch to feature different type of strap mechanism

Samsung exploring a different type of strap mechanism for Galaxy Watch. A new patent submission reveals the company’s plans to introduce a new way that is easier to attach, adjust, and secure the band to your wrist.

91mobiles spotted a new Samsung patent, which talks about a different type of strap mechanism on the Galaxy Watch. Samsung’s watches already offer a quick-release mechanism to change straps, but it will be even easier in the future.

Titled “WEARABLE DEVICE INCLUDING STRUCTURE FOR ASSISTING ASSEMBLY,” the wearable-centric patent reveals a new type of strap design, which could make Galaxy Watches of the future much easier to use.

The patent shows a strap with three components and there’s a core made up of two fastening portions, one of which moves and one of which is static.

The strap consists of two halves of a band, a frame that connects them to the core, and grooves that help secure the connection between the two.

The patent doesn’t point to any tentative release timeline for the new strap mechanism. While the information is limited, the image shows the new design would make it easier to attach and detach watch bands at a moment’s notice.

In addition, the design also suggests that the bands stay securely fastened to your watch when you’re wearing it. The new mechanism would enable bands to fit more comfortably and crucially, offering more accurate fitness tracking.

Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra. The next-gen wearables could be introduced in the second half of the next year. It is not certain that the Watch 8 will debut the patented strap design mechanism.
