Galaxy Watch 6
The Galaxy Watch 6 will be available in two sizes, with a diameter of 40mm and 44mm. This does not change the external dimensions, but the company has fine-tuned its displays and is now installing slightly larger OLED panels in the smartwatches. Expected colors – Black, Silver, and Beige.
Galaxy Watch 6 Classic
As rumored, the Classic version of the Galaxy Watch 6 comes with the physical rotating bezel back again, whereby the edge around the displays, which are otherwise the same size as the normal editions of Samsung watches, is slightly wider.
Adding to this, the Watch 6 Classic will therefore find its way into case widths of 43mm and 47mm, also stands out from the cheaper sister models. It will probably only be available in Black and Silver, while the entire lineup is water resistant up to 5 ATM.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy smartwatches appeared on FCC certification. droidlife spotted the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Watch FE on the FCC certification database. This input suggests that the affordable smartwatch may join the Galaxy Unpacked in July 2024.
FCC database listed Samsung’s SM-L300, SM-L305, SM-L310, SM-L315, and SM-R861. Model numbers L300 and L310 could be the Wi-Fi versions of the two sizes for the Galaxy Watch 7. However, the L305 and L315 models could be called Watch 7 LTE, in two sizes.
Apart from the Standard variant, Samsung’s Watch 7 lineup will also consist of Classic and Pro/Ultra. So far, these models have not appeared on the FCC certification site. We will likely get to know more about the upcoming models in the near future.
Additionally, the SM-R861 is expected to be the Galaxy Watch FE or the Watch 4 (2024). This is speculated because Samsung’s Watch 4 was SM-R860. It also hints at similar specs and features in the Watch FE as the Watch 4 with the latest Wear OS version.
