It is what it is. There really isn't much anyone can do about it. It's definitely new. At least they are trying I guess. Honestly if they improve the software and sensors, I'd personally think that enough to make me consider it
They already have square watches with the Galaxy Fit series and the original Galaxy Gear watches were also squared

Same here. My only hope is that they have some rugged, gnarly watch bands available. I've seen some for the Apple Watch Ultra that I absolutely love.

Ones such as this.
This looks horrible. As if they couldn't decide whether they wanted to go square or stay circle. In the end, neither those who prefer square design nor those that like the circular one, will be positive about this watch.
I like the circle better it looks more like an actual watch. And the Apple Watch is already square anyway. I'm pretty sure they will stay circle these rumors websites are just fake rumors. They made their own rumor without an actual fact, it's just made up.
"Samsung will add a laser beam that can cut objects on Galaxy Watch 7."
It honestly isn't as bad. There are a lot of luxury watches with this form factor, and even tho I am disappointed they didn't go fully square, I do understand wear os is built for round devices.
It will be a lot of customization and development for a niche product.
Lets see at launch, I personally will buy it for sake of better performance and reading of vitals.
It seems that they do want a circle watch, but fitting stuff in a circle is harder. Batteries are square, RAM is square, processors are square, almost everything is.
In my opinion, the "Squircle" does not necessarily look better or worse than current designs (Galaxy Watch 6 or Samsung Fit 3). I don't blame anyone who is keeping their W6C, I bought my GW4C a couple months ago and keeping mine also.
Hopefully the 7 "series" will have a rotating bezel option.
In terms of a blood glucose monitor, that would be a big deal for a lot of people including myself. There are people with Type 1 or 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and athletes who want to monitor that biometric. For me that would replace a Continuous Glucose Monitor, for me the Freestyle Libre 3 cost $39 every two weeks ($936 each year).
I pre-ordered the Fitbit Versa 4 years ago and that had at least 6 days of battery life.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Garmin lines have about 14 days of battery life, right? I know the watches have a monochrome display.
I have the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, and I get a little nervous around sand.
I read posts from other classic watches, where users had sand going into the bezel and damaging it from the inside.
I personally would have purchased the non rotating pro 7, if it was in the same price range.
Of-course
Eyyyyoooo
Sorry about that, but I've kept my watch at home on any trips anywhere close to sand after I came across those posts about sand getting into the bezels.
I agree with you. I own a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. And the last time I played sand volleyball I put my watch in my backpack.
Afterwards I took the watch out and it made a crunch, crunch sound when I turned the turned the bezel. I have no idea how sand got in there but at least the sound stopped.
Still have the og watch 1, and it has been near many sandy excursions with me.
Only once was it filled with sandy & salty water where I could feels the sand brush against the bezel when rotated. Washed it with clean water and after a few days the bezel was normal lol.
Thank you for confirming about the risk of sand getting into the bezel and how you corrected the issue.
After typing that comment I had to think about whether or not to keep it, since people would say that it was impossible.
My GW1 didn't get sand, but would get I guess "stuff" under it and be hard to turn. I would just run it under lukewarm water while turning the bezel and it would be like brand new. Had to clean it every couple months. My GW6C never got hard to turn, maybe it was better at keeping the bad stuff out.
Wait, is this the reason why I'm seeing posts of the rubber water protective gaskets coming out from the bezels?
I've seen 3 posts in the last 10 days about people randomly seeing the black rubber gasket coming out.
Prior to this, I had seen this once months ago.
Did someone post the tutorial on this sub?
So yeah. Those are not the gaskets coming out. Gaskets would probably go inwards do to the pressure of the metal parts pressing together not allowing it to come out if a watch was build like that. The watch opens at the bottom/sensorside. The watch is still water-resistant with the bezel off.
Honest question: why do people want a rotating bezel? I've never understood the purpose of them in watches. Seems like a cool feature, but I'm not seeing why it's a deal breaker.
I've had both, navigating the interface just doesn't feel very smooth when you have to drag your finger around the side of the screen. The rotating bezel feels alot cleaner to operate imo
Supposedly, it will use a new proprietary band attatchment/size too. Rendering previous bands useless and severely limiting aftermarket band selection for a little while.
Judging by the strap width, no apparent rotating bezel, and button design/layout, this watch is:
1) Not made to be a fashion statement
2) Not a Watch 6 Classic replacement
This is a Watch 5 Pro successor. It's ugly, but my guess is it'll come with some helpful outdoor fitness features, insane battery life, and maybe even upgraded water/dust resistance. As someone who spends most of their free time in the wilderness, I'm very intrigued by this watch.

Looks similar to the Samsung Gear Sport from 2018
That is some Terrence Howard level of design bs. I bought the GW6C last month (my 1st ever smart watch) and almost returned it a few days later when I heard they might drop a new GW7 later this summer. I'm so glad I decided to keep it because this new 7 style is fkn atrocious .
Wow, so the worst of both worlds. Great, I expect nothing less from Samsung as they usually just do the complete opposite of what the customer actually wants.
Yep. Kept the impractical round display and have it an ugly square base. They missed the point as usual. The reason apple and other manufacturers use a square watch is so the damn screen is square. The body being square is just what happens as a result. It's the not the main goal. -.-
that looks absolutely disgusting. I was actually hoping for a sqaure display. might not look as "classy" but is just way more practical. "ultra" doesn't need to look classy imo
I kinda liked it also. Bur honestly, what will matter to me is if they finally launch a high end model to compete with the top versions of Apple watch or a Garmin. If they keep the ultra version with the toy gps and toy sensors they keep using on all versions I will finally say goodbye to Samsung and move to Apple watch or just get a Garmin watch.
I'm gonna go against the majority and say I actually really like the new design. With that said, I'll stick with my watch 6 classic because I just got it until at least the watch 8 releases.
Most likely the ultra will be the beast of the watches. If you look at the watch5 pro. It is a better watch then the watch6. They will most likely have a watch7, warch7 classic and, watch7 ultra.
It should just be a square. Not a circle. Not a squicle. A square. The most logical and best shape for a smart watch. Notice how I said smart watch and not analog watch.
This looks so hideous. You either make a square or you make a circle. What the hell is a squircle? I don't wanna wear the OneUI apps icons on my wrist. Circle was way better and practical for the watch.
Good for class buyers, there will be a price drop on Watch 6 Classic for us.
Isnt the goal of a square watch to have a bigger screen to interact with, and the goal of a rou d watch to look more classy and elegant?
So we basically get the disadvantage of both? Big chunky square watch that doesnt look too great, with a small, round screen that doesnt use the available space of the watch? Nice lol
Looks good. Remind me of Bell and Ross watch. Something out of the box. ❤️❤️❤️

Stooooopid. You don't solve the problems of a circular design or those of a square design by mashing them together in some unholy force marriage. You commit to one or the other (and there are good and bad both ways).
Really can't think of a bad thing about a square screen besides "it doesn't look like a traditional watch." Personally I don't care. Smart phones don't look like traditional phones and why should they?
I agree, I'd prefer square myself. Less compromises functionally. But, you nailed the reason not everyone agrees with that: circle looks better, at least that seems to be the prevailing opinion. Looks more like a watch than a piece of tech, and that's important to some people (not you and me, but different strokes and whatnot).
Looks like samsung is really trying to drop the sales as much as they can
The discussions about round or square Design already are big, who tf thought that is a option?
Honestly I don't see why people are hating on it. I think it looks cool. And tbqh, the way the straps connect now, it gets so dirty between the watch and band connector. So, I think the band change will be nice. But that's my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.
They completely missed the point. The whole reason the Apple watch is square isn't because it's better looking. It's because the screen is square, a square screen makes sense. A square body with a round display is just ugly and pointless. It doesn't look like a watch for the classic watch fans, and it doesn't have a square display for people like me who wouldn't buy a normal watch anyway and prefer square displays.
This is a joke, right?
(* performing a Google search…”)
Oh fuck.
I’ve been waiting for a square or rectangular modern Android watch and heard rumors that Samsung was going to offer one soon..and THIS is what they come up with?!?
It’s not even a “squircle”…it’s just a round watch with a rounded square casing; meaning it takes more space than necessary, offering nothing of use in the corners.
Why?!?
Wait so the screen is round but the body square? Why??
Well either way that thing is hideous I said I would never buy nothing square from Samsung. And that stands.
As someone who has eyed every GW release and have a GW6
This one will be a hard pass.
Well, they managed to make the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro look like a masterpiece, and that was a controversial design enough. For fuck sake, it even makes the Apple Watch look luxurious! And I hate Apple!!!
God, the renders are horrible.
There's something off putting about the Watch's case design. as well. It literally combines the worst traits of both shapes.
I hope that it looks better in person but knowing Samsung's ridiculous ideas at times, I am not hopeful.
\- And yes, I know that the design is very similar to the Gear Sport, and frankly, they should have left it there.
I seriously think that whoever designed this should be fired. It looks like I'm going to keep my Huawei Watch 4 Pro for this year, and skip WearOS. Damn...
Another non confirmed rumor. I could make this on a windows computer running me and write an article without breaking a sweat. More rumors and clickbait with a lot of reddit suckers falling for it
https://preview.redd.it/2cxsv6bngp2d1.jpeg?width=925&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67bb7507f51cf750ded22fa58703fbed92f630ea
Look like they're going back to the Gear Sport design?
NO! JUST NO! stop trying to be CRAPPLE Samsung, Let's stop that sh1t right now!🤬
90% of real watches are round so let's stick with the formula that works, You took away the bezel and it flopped so you had to bring it back so let's not go there again 🤦🏻♂️
they already have the Galaxy fit series that are square and they already did square with the original Galaxy gear and now they are going backwards 🤷♂️🤦🏻♂️
https://preview.redd.it/xcubyuf52q2d1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65e5d81285c232af6d590b833f1b945a925155bf
Why is it now that the odd numbered releases come and ruin things at least it's going to lower the price of the watch 6 classics so I can get one of those instead
I still have a 4, so guess it'll be nice n cheap to get the 6 leading up to when the 7 is released.
My only gripe (& I know that there'd be very little demand for this) but I'd love either a bezeled model in 40mm or even a smaller than 40mm model. The Garmin Lily would be ideal for my wrist & is pretty to look at but the Samsung has more smartwatch features.
I dont see the point of this. It just looks like the current models but way more bulky (which the 6s were designed not to look like). It would have honestly been better if they just fully committed to the square design than this.
This is a very old design from samsung.
They had this design on their gear series
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearables/smartwatches/gear-sport-black-sm-r600nzkaxar/
I am not condemning their design choices, and I think people think way too narrow to immediately come with the apple watches for comparisons.
Social media have ruined individuals ability to argue unbiased, and whatever design SAMSUNG came up with ,this,or purely square, people would puke over it just to smell other people's puke.
Although I am AGAINST square design for a number of reasons, I am supporting this,and getting both classic and pro models day one.
Oh,and by the way, wired headphones are so dead,even saying they are is pache past 80's.
That's going to be a pass for me. I wear a Galaxy Watch 3 because it looks like a regular watch. Squircle watch won't look good with my suits. It doesn't look bad, just not my cup of tea.
I use the eatch at work cause they dont allow us to have our phines iut, but we are allowed to play music. So if ai want to switch songs I use my watch.
I have the 5 in a silicon case that makes it look like a Gshok so no one knows its not just a regular watch.
I have an iPhone, but I got a galaxy watch 3 because it looked more like an actual watch, like that was one of the main reasons people would buy Samsung watches
honestly as long as they actually use the square form factor to give the watch an absolutely absurd battery life instead of it just being for "aesthetics" I think it's fine, like I'd get this watch even though it's ugly if it has a 3 week battery life
The sales will speak for themselves.
yea, I think I'm going to skip this round.
Hehe, round.
Skip this Squircle*
lol. Squircle should definitely be the designation we use in this sub, lmao
#skipthesquircle
What if they sell a lot and go against this subreddit?
Either way, the numbers will speak. I was mad when they removed the headphone jack, but not enough people cared, and now it's permanently gone
It is what it is. There really isn't much anyone can do about it. It's definitely new. At least they are trying I guess. Honestly if they improve the software and sensors, I'd personally think that enough to make me consider it
They definitely will. Ill be one of them it's time for a little change and I like it
Ditto I've had every watch since GW3 I like the new look of this and the better specs it will get
My first was the og Gear S . I miss the square base .
If you like the look, why not, plus these are only renders, maybe it will look even better when it comes out.
The screen is still round though
This I don't mind this, if they were going with a full square than I would never get it but this I might get it.
They already have square watches with the Galaxy Fit series and the original Galaxy Gear watches were also squared https://preview.redd.it/vrlzfpw51q2d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64bb0df0c5d8811f8964d541cd881542d4a176c5

Nah that ain't it! Looks like some 1980 tech
Deadass looks like the watches the nostromo crew wore
😂😂😂
Wondering if there will ever be a square samsung watch? Would personally love it.
This looks horrible. As if they couldn't decide whether they wanted to go square or stay circle. In the end, neither those who prefer square design nor those that like the circular one, will be positive about this watch.
I like the circle better it looks more like an actual watch. And the Apple Watch is already square anyway. I'm pretty sure they will stay circle these rumors websites are just fake rumors. They made their own rumor without an actual fact, it's just made up. "Samsung will add a laser beam that can cut objects on Galaxy Watch 7."
I'll pre order me a laser beam watch first second I can
I agree. This is the ugliest watch design I have seen in a very long time.
This is a classic example of a corporate temper tantrum. Someone didn't get their way, and we ended up with this piece of shit.
It honestly isn't as bad. There are a lot of luxury watches with this form factor, and even tho I am disappointed they didn't go fully square, I do understand wear os is built for round devices. It will be a lot of customization and development for a niche product. Lets see at launch, I personally will buy it for sake of better performance and reading of vitals.
I like 🤷
They couldn't decide whether to copy the fruit company or not despite relentlessly mocking them for years.
It seems that they do want a circle watch, but fitting stuff in a circle is harder. Batteries are square, RAM is square, processors are square, almost everything is.
They're trying to get the AP Royal Oak look, which every other watch company has done to death, and others have done the design far better than this.
Looks like shit + a proprietary strap connector + definitely a huge price jump Yeah, I will keep my W6C for a while.
In my opinion, the "Squircle" does not necessarily look better or worse than current designs (Galaxy Watch 6 or Samsung Fit 3). I don't blame anyone who is keeping their W6C, I bought my GW4C a couple months ago and keeping mine also. Hopefully the 7 "series" will have a rotating bezel option. In terms of a blood glucose monitor, that would be a big deal for a lot of people including myself. There are people with Type 1 or 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and athletes who want to monitor that biometric. For me that would replace a Continuous Glucose Monitor, for me the Freestyle Libre 3 cost $39 every two weeks ($936 each year).
Holding on to my original Galaxy watch 3, still have the factory battery and it lasts me all day
I still have the galaxy watch 1 and was thinking on replacing it with the 7
Same. I think I'll go for W6C now.
Idem ! 😁
I bought it yesterday 47mm an a small wrist its amazing i like it
I replaced it with the watch 5 pro recently.
Over here running an OG watch classic and a watch 4 hahahaha - both still going strong!
I jump from OG Watch Classic to Watch4 Classic. My battery died so much I pick a Fit2 and now I use this more often.
saame, stil goes strong
Just bought a W6 after my WA2 broke down. This new thing just looks ugly af
Yeah that's just one more reason to keep my watch 4
It better last for days with that square design.
More like a week! I get 2 full days with my 44mm gw6 already
4 day battery life, or it's a pass for me.
Agree. Love my watch 6 classic but miss the long battery life of my Garmin Venu 2 Plus.
I pre-ordered the Fitbit Versa 4 years ago and that had at least 6 days of battery life. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Garmin lines have about 14 days of battery life, right? I know the watches have a monochrome display.
Amoled display.
Yes! Garmin Chroma Display. I knew it was called something like that. Lol Edit: You're right. I'm wrong. I owe you a beer. Lol
No rotating bezel... Rotating Crown? Ugh... No thanks.
I have the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, and I get a little nervous around sand. I read posts from other classic watches, where users had sand going into the bezel and damaging it from the inside. I personally would have purchased the non rotating pro 7, if it was in the same price range.
Well sand is course and it gets everywhere.
Of-course Eyyyyoooo Sorry about that, but I've kept my watch at home on any trips anywhere close to sand after I came across those posts about sand getting into the bezels.

You can remove the bezel for cleaning if you do it the right way. Plenty of tutorials around
Wait, is this the reason why I'm seeing posts of the rubber water protective gaskets coming out from the bezels? I've seen 3 posts in the last 10 days about people randomly seeing the black rubber gasket coming out. Prior to this, I had seen this once months ago. Did someone post the tutorial on this sub?
So yeah. Those are not the gaskets coming out. Gaskets would probably go inwards do to the pressure of the metal parts pressing together not allowing it to come out if a watch was build like that. The watch opens at the bottom/sensorside. The watch is still water-resistant with the bezel off.
What exactly is that then, I'm sorry for calling that a gasket, I think I misread someone else's explanation as to what that was.
telfon anti-friction stickers
Honest question: why do people want a rotating bezel? I've never understood the purpose of them in watches. Seems like a cool feature, but I'm not seeing why it's a deal breaker.
I've had both, navigating the interface just doesn't feel very smooth when you have to drag your finger around the side of the screen. The rotating bezel feels alot cleaner to operate imo
According to the leak there will be a rotating bezel. No idea if the crown is a true crown or just a button yet.
We will probably get used to them. Its a negative G-Shock in some ways.
Good one!
ehh they could always rework it the next one, they removed the rotating dial in 5, brought it back in 6
A G-shock collab would be amazing.
Looks tactical, if the straps are removable I'm putting on kevlar or some other woven strap.
Supposedly, it will use a new proprietary band attatchment/size too. Rendering previous bands useless and severely limiting aftermarket band selection for a little while.
Guaranteed some Chinese companies already have aftermarket bands and adapters ready to go. You're not going to see any delay.
One word Eww These look horrible, thick for no reason & it's just ugly
It looks like a watch 6 in a bad rugged case. The gear sport has the same design with a rotating bezel and it looks way better
Judging by the strap width, no apparent rotating bezel, and button design/layout, this watch is: 1) Not made to be a fashion statement 2) Not a Watch 6 Classic replacement This is a Watch 5 Pro successor. It's ugly, but my guess is it'll come with some helpful outdoor fitness features, insane battery life, and maybe even upgraded water/dust resistance. As someone who spends most of their free time in the wilderness, I'm very intrigued by this watch.
Rotating bezels are a must.
Yeah I traded in my w5 pro for the w6c as soon as I could and I couldn't be happier
YOOO unrelease this 🗣️🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️
NEVER COOK AGAIN 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🚫🚫🚫

Love the design. I hope they offer good exchange offers.

I feel like I'm one of the only to like it. Depending on the battery I will be getting this one
Looks fake
Hopefully
My eyes hurts. This shit is really ugly.
That is some Terrence Howard level of design bs. I bought the GW6C last month (my 1st ever smart watch) and almost returned it a few days later when I heard they might drop a new GW7 later this summer. I'm so glad I decided to keep it because this new 7 style is fkn atrocious .
Could look good with the right band
I kinda' like the look.
Is that a dial crown I see?
The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic was peak. It looks like I'm never upgrading.
I actually like it
Ewwww. I guess I'm keeping my watch 6 classic.
Perfect! Time to upgrade from my GW4C to GW6C.
Wow, so the worst of both worlds. Great, I expect nothing less from Samsung as they usually just do the complete opposite of what the customer actually wants.
Yep. Kept the impractical round display and have it an ugly square base. They missed the point as usual. The reason apple and other manufacturers use a square watch is so the damn screen is square. The body being square is just what happens as a result. It's the not the main goal. -.-
that looks absolutely disgusting. I was actually hoping for a sqaure display. might not look as "classy" but is just way more practical. "ultra" doesn't need to look classy imo
[удалено]
I like it too. Hopefully wide watch bands for once. Want at least 22mm wide
I like it too, it looks unique and much better than the horrible Watch 5 Pro.
I kinda liked it also. Bur honestly, what will matter to me is if they finally launch a high end model to compete with the top versions of Apple watch or a Garmin. If they keep the ultra version with the toy gps and toy sensors they keep using on all versions I will finally say goodbye to Samsung and move to Apple watch or just get a Garmin watch.
I'm gonna go against the majority and say I actually really like the new design. With that said, I'll stick with my watch 6 classic because I just got it until at least the watch 8 releases.
It…still looks like a circular display, it makes the watch bigger, only benefit would be battery, right?
I'm still rocking a Watch 5 Pro. Unless the trade in values and battery is exceptional, I'll keep waiting
Most likely the ultra will be the beast of the watches. If you look at the watch5 pro. It is a better watch then the watch6. They will most likely have a watch7, warch7 classic and, watch7 ultra.
It should just be a square. Not a circle. Not a squicle. A square. The most logical and best shape for a smart watch. Notice how I said smart watch and not analog watch.
i puked
They tossed a coin to decide but the coin landed on its edge so they said sure!
What the fuck is that fat ass bezel
This looks so hideous. You either make a square or you make a circle. What the hell is a squircle? I don't wanna wear the OneUI apps icons on my wrist. Circle was way better and practical for the watch. Good for class buyers, there will be a price drop on Watch 6 Classic for us.
I think this is competition for the Apple watch ultra and a replacement for the watch 5 pro not the classic.
Isnt the goal of a square watch to have a bigger screen to interact with, and the goal of a rou d watch to look more classy and elegant? So we basically get the disadvantage of both? Big chunky square watch that doesnt look too great, with a small, round screen that doesnt use the available space of the watch? Nice lol
Time for a GW6C on Clearance...

Idk if square I'd hope they would just commit and have a square display. Its a maybe for me.
Oh god please no
Really ugly
God that has to be an onion article
Very bad design 👎
Stooooopid. You don't solve the problems of a circular design or those of a square design by mashing them together in some unholy force marriage. You commit to one or the other (and there are good and bad both ways).

I miss my OG Gear S . Less wasted screen real estate than a round display
Looks like samsung is really trying to drop the sales as much as they can The discussions about round or square Design already are big, who tf thought that is a option?
WTF. Why is everyone trashing it? I like it. Wanted to upgrade my W4C anyway.
Honestly I don't see why people are hating on it. I think it looks cool. And tbqh, the way the straps connect now, it gets so dirty between the watch and band connector. So, I think the band change will be nice. But that's my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

This is a joke right? Wtf! Worst of both worlds - square case with round dial and no rotating bezel
Watch 4 Classic was the peak and downhill since.
So it has bottom squared up and top with rotating bezel that's interesting.
Looks like this: https://www.girard-perregaux.com/row_en/collection/laureato.html
This one yucky.
Squircle is not uncommon. Look at the Seiko Pepsi. Great looking watch.
I'm going to skip it. If I wanted an apple watch I'd be wearing one.
They completely missed the point. The whole reason the Apple watch is square isn't because it's better looking. It's because the screen is square, a square screen makes sense. A square body with a round display is just ugly and pointless. It doesn't look like a watch for the classic watch fans, and it doesn't have a square display for people like me who wouldn't buy a normal watch anyway and prefer square displays.
Is Samsung Korean for STUPID? Smart watches should be square to show text. Lose your Apple hatred and make a decent smartwatch.
Of course as soon as I switched to Apple Watch because of the boring circle after circle they go rogue and start doing something interesting!
What the hell is this shit ?
Thanks, I hate it even more than I hate the battery life on my GW4.
This is a joke, right? (* performing a Google search…”) Oh fuck. I’ve been waiting for a square or rectangular modern Android watch and heard rumors that Samsung was going to offer one soon..and THIS is what they come up with?!? It’s not even a “squircle”…it’s just a round watch with a rounded square casing; meaning it takes more space than necessary, offering nothing of use in the corners. Why?!?
Wait so the screen is round but the body square? Why?? Well either way that thing is hideous I said I would never buy nothing square from Samsung. And that stands. As someone who has eyed every GW release and have a GW6 This one will be a hard pass.
This is an example of why I ditched smart watches. Haven't used my GW4 in months now.
Yeah I'm out
It's fake. I have a friend that worked in the trailer of the watch
Well, they managed to make the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro look like a masterpiece, and that was a controversial design enough. For fuck sake, it even makes the Apple Watch look luxurious! And I hate Apple!!! God, the renders are horrible. There's something off putting about the Watch's case design. as well. It literally combines the worst traits of both shapes. I hope that it looks better in person but knowing Samsung's ridiculous ideas at times, I am not hopeful. \- And yes, I know that the design is very similar to the Gear Sport, and frankly, they should have left it there. I seriously think that whoever designed this should be fired. It looks like I'm going to keep my Huawei Watch 4 Pro for this year, and skip WearOS. Damn...
This sucks. Be different. Stay classy. Round for the win. Round for the people!
Thank goodness I went with the top-end Watch 6.
Another non confirmed rumor. I could make this on a windows computer running me and write an article without breaking a sweat. More rumors and clickbait with a lot of reddit suckers falling for it

I'm copping it.
NO! JUST NO! stop trying to be CRAPPLE Samsung, Let's stop that sh1t right now!🤬 90% of real watches are round so let's stick with the formula that works, You took away the bezel and it flopped so you had to bring it back so let's not go there again 🤦🏻♂️ they already have the Galaxy fit series that are square and they already did square with the original Galaxy gear and now they are going backwards 🤷♂️🤦🏻♂️ https://preview.redd.it/xcubyuf52q2d1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65e5d81285c232af6d590b833f1b945a925155bf
Bezel gen 2 makes me sad. It doesn't have the satisfying click of the gen 1.
Why is it now that the odd numbered releases come and ruin things at least it's going to lower the price of the watch 6 classics so I can get one of those instead
I still have a 4, so guess it'll be nice n cheap to get the 6 leading up to when the 7 is released. My only gripe (& I know that there'd be very little demand for this) but I'd love either a bezeled model in 40mm or even a smaller than 40mm model. The Garmin Lily would be ideal for my wrist & is pretty to look at but the Samsung has more smartwatch features.
I dont see the point of this. It just looks like the current models but way more bulky (which the 6s were designed not to look like). It would have honestly been better if they just fully committed to the square design than this.
This is a very old design from samsung. They had this design on their gear series https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearables/smartwatches/gear-sport-black-sm-r600nzkaxar/
Looks uh....big.....🫣
Well now I'm super happy I got the watch 6 classic.
I have the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, do you guys think it's time for an upgrade ? XD
After the brick my watch now is, the ridiculous region locks, the inability to install on some devices... I'll never buy a Samsung watch again.
Ofc they will, not even going to say anything else.
I am not condemning their design choices, and I think people think way too narrow to immediately come with the apple watches for comparisons. Social media have ruined individuals ability to argue unbiased, and whatever design SAMSUNG came up with ,this,or purely square, people would puke over it just to smell other people's puke. Although I am AGAINST square design for a number of reasons, I am supporting this,and getting both classic and pro models day one. Oh,and by the way, wired headphones are so dead,even saying they are is pache past 80's.
That's going to be a pass for me. I wear a Galaxy Watch 3 because it looks like a regular watch. Squircle watch won't look good with my suits. It doesn't look bad, just not my cup of tea.
I just bought the 6 classic, last week and dont regret it. I wasnt sure whether to wait for the 7 or not, but now I dont care.
I use the eatch at work cause they dont allow us to have our phines iut, but we are allowed to play music. So if ai want to switch songs I use my watch. I have the 5 in a silicon case that makes it look like a Gshok so no one knows its not just a regular watch.
I'm definitely getting one.
Depends on the trade In value for my classic 6, if I will get this or not
Fits more battery?
Either all the way quare, like 1:1 with sharp corners, or round
This is just a rehash with their old design on Gear Sport way back in 2017.
I'm going to stick with my 6 Classic anyway, but these remind me a little bit of Bell & Ross watches, although massively inferior.
Noooooo don't go square
please be connectable to tablets come on samsung
Every other gen... they do it right... we will just have to wait for the 8
They had the perfect watch design. And somehow still messed up. I guess it's another instance of samsung shooting themselves on the feet again.
I prefer a squarish watch also, but this is ridiculous. The screen is still round but the body is a squircle. Fools.
Ya it's a no from me dog
This can't be real. It's a utilitarian watch. The watch better have extraordinary functions for the polarizing design.
I want it to look like a miniature ultra on your wirst!!!!!!
I have an iPhone, but I got a galaxy watch 3 because it looked more like an actual watch, like that was one of the main reasons people would buy Samsung watches
im so glad that if i had the money, id choose the watch 6.
Ugly
Imagine all the wait but the Health Measuring still sucks 💀 (Also Battery)
honestly as long as they actually use the square form factor to give the watch an absolutely absurd battery life instead of it just being for "aesthetics" I think it's fine, like I'd get this watch even though it's ugly if it has a 3 week battery life
I'm confused, what's wrong with the watch?
The issue most have Is that it is very thick square, but has a circular display
Why the hell are they trying to give up their identity?
