Key takeaways in a nutshell:
- Galaxy Watch 7: Classic size options (40mm & 44mm) with a splash of color (Forest Green, Cream, and Marble Gray).
- Galaxy Watch Ultra: A single, robust 47mm size, potentially offered in Titanium Gray and possibly Black in select markets.
- Premium Showdown: The Ultra positions itself as a competitor to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, boasting a hefty price tag (rumored to start at $700) and top-of-the-line features.
Samsung is on the cusp of launching two highly anticipated smartwatches next month. The Galaxy Watch 7, a familiar name with a promise of annual upgrades, will grace our wrists alongside the brand-new Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung’s foray into the premium smartwatch arena. Leaks have been painting a vivid picture of these upcoming wearables, and a recent one sheds light on the crucial aspects of choice – colors and sizes.
The Galaxy Watch FE, a recently launched, budget-friendly smartwatch, serves as Samsung’s entry point into the Wear OS world. But for those seeking cutting-edge technology, the Galaxy Watch 7 beckons. With whispers of a $300 starting price, the Watch 7 promises the latest smartwatch chip from Samsung, an enhanced display, and seamless integration with the newest Wear OS and One UI Watch.
The familiar size choices of 40mm and 44mm make a comeback, allowing users to find the perfect fit. Leakster Arsene Lupin confirms these size options and unveils the color palette – a refreshing mix of Forest Green, Cream, and Marble Gray. While additional colorways might surface later, these three will be the initial offerings.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra, on the other hand, adopts a more singular approach. This first-of-its-kind “Ultra” smartwatch from Samsung is rumored to come in a single, commanding 47mm size. The leak also suggests a solitary color option – Titanium Gray. However, whispers of black renders raise the possibility of a second color variant, potentially with limited availability in specific markets.
As the rumors suggest, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is poised to be Samsung’s most expensive smartwatch ever, with a price tag exceeding $700. This ultra-premium offering aims to compete directly with the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Samsung equips the Ultra with a luxurious titanium frame, a colossal battery, a best-in-class display, a premium design, and a robust build, all geared toward the most demanding users. We can expect these new watches to debut alongside the next generation of foldable phones at Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event on July 10th.
