In July, Samsung could announce two new connected watches: the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. But 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, which is a little earlier than usual. This would be an opportunity to present its new folding smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. But that’s not all: connected watches will probably be on the program, with the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.
Will the rotating bezel be back on Samsung smartwatches?
THE leaker OnLeaks published what would be the design of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic on MySmartPrice. This would sign the great return of the physical rotating bezel, after its abolition the previous year. It had been absent from the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

Another change not necessarily notable, the most high-end model would change its name. Last year, we got the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. A nomenclature on which Samsung would go back, in favor of a model ” classic “.
What we know about the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic
Other leaks have already revealed some details of this smartwatch. First of all, we can think that several bracelets will be offered when the device is marketed. On the hardware side, we should be entitled to a 1.47 inch Super Amoled screen with a definition of 470 by 470 pixels, a slight improvement over last year.

Autonomy should be improved thanks to a battery with greater capacity: 425 mAh instead of 361 mAh last year. Another important change: unlike the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic should be entitled to two sizes: 42 and 46 mm.
