The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic could be with us by the end of July – and now we have a pretty good idea of what these two models are going to look like, thanks to some leaked promotional images.
These come courtesy of the usually reliable WinFuture (via XDA Developers), and they show the two smartwatches from almost every angle and in different colors. Samsung Galaxy Watch traditionalists will be pleased to see the return of the rotating bezel on the Classic model.
The standard Galaxy Watch 6 is shown in black, silver and beige — and according to WinFuture the same colors (as well as a few others) are being offered for other Samsung products unveiled at the Unpacked event in late July. Think of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Tab S9, for example.
For the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, we only get black and silver colors in this particular leak, though more may be available at launch. It’s possible that Samsung could offer different colors in different regions, or keep some colors exclusive to its online store for those who order directly.

According to WinFuture, the Galaxy Watch 6 has the same dimensions — 40mm or 44mm sizes are available — but the OLED screens are slightly larger. They are also said to be made of scratch resistant sapphire glass.
For the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, the sizes are said to be 43mm and 47mm due to the rotating bezel. We are also expecting a leather strap option for this more expensive model. Both the Standard and Classic models will be water resistant to 50 meters.
You’ll recall that the Galaxy Watch 4 had Standard and Classic variants, while last year we got the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, neither of which had a rotating bezel for menu and function controls. At least based on this leak, it looks like the classic branding is back for 2023.
All will be revealed in a little over a month: We think Samsung’s next big Unpacked showcase is going to happen in the last week of July. For the Galaxy Watch update, we are expecting new health tracking features and a faster processor.
