Nothing is official or confirmed yet, but there have been a lot of leaks and rumors about what we can expect from Samsung's new smartwatches. There has also been talk that a third super-premium model could be on the way, based on leaked codenames.
For now, we expect the Samsung Galaxy Watch to keep the same name, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch Classic becomes the Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro; Given that it's a larger, more luxurious option, the rebrand makes sense.
As for the actual improvements over last year's models, the 2022 smartwatches are rumored to charge much faster at least, which would be a welcome improvement over current models, even if it isn't. battery duration.
It's not all good news though, as there's talk of the Classic/Pro model ditching the rotating bezel this time, which we wouldn't like to see. It gives users a different and very intuitive way to access on-screen menus and functions, so we expect it to be included in at least some of the newer devices.
