In July, Samsung could introduce two new connected watches: the Galaxy Watch 6 and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. However, the latter could see the return of the mechanical rotating bezel, which was discontinued last year.

Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked conference could take place in July, so a little earlier than usual. This would be an opportunity to introduce its new folding smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. But that’s not all: with the Galaxy Watch 6 and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, networked watches are also on the agenda.
Will the rotating bezel return to Samsung smartwatches?
The leaker OnLeaks has published the alleged design of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic on MySmartPrice. This would be the sign of the big return of the physical rotating bezel after being phased out last year. The Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro lacked it.

Another change that isn’t necessarily notable: the highest-end model would change its name. Last year we got the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. A nomenclature that Samsung would resort to in favor of a “Classic” model.
What we know about the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic
Other leaks have already revealed some details of this smartwatch. First of all, we can expect that there will be multiple bracelets on offer when the device is launched. Hardware-wise, we should be entitled to a 1.47-inch Super Amoled screen with a resolution of 470 x 470 pixels, a slight improvement over last year.

The autonomy is said to be improved thanks to a battery with a larger capacity: 425 mAh instead of 361 mAh last year. Another important change: Unlike the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is said to be entitled to two sizes: 42 and 46 mm.
