Galaxy Watch 7 name and models
- Classic or Pro: No rumors about a name change, although it is still possible that Samsung alternates between the “Pro” and “Classic” models.
- Historical references: With the Galaxy Watch 5 series, Samsung launched its first rugged outdoor wearable, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which didn't have a rotating bezel. Last year, however, marked the return of the Galaxy Watch Classic line, featuring a rotating hardware bezel for easier interface navigation. So, with the Galaxy Watch 7 series, Samsung could either release another Pro watch or continue with the Classic versions.
If anything is highly likely, it's that the Galaxy Watch 7 series will come in different sizes, likely 40/44mm for the more affordable Galaxy Watch 7 and 43/47mm for the more premium Watch.
Galaxy Watch 7 design and display
- Probably little or no change: There are no specific design-related rumors yet regarding the Galaxy Watch 7. This means we should probably expect the 7th generation of the smartwatch to be essentially similar to the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.
- Design, summarized: In the case of the Galaxy Watch 7, we could get a relatively compact, lightweight and minimal body made of aluminum. The standard Galaxy Watch 7 doesn't have a rotating bezel; instead, the bezel around the screen is touch-sensitive, allowing you to swipe and navigate the interface. If this makes sense, the Galaxy Watch 6 looks much more like a regular smartwatch.
At the same time, the Galaxy Watch 7 Classic will likely use stainless steel or titanium for its case construction and, of course, could very well have a hardware rotating bezel. This is one of our favorite features of Samsung smartwatches, a unique and very useful feature that sets the watch apart from most other smartwatches on the market.
- Exceptional resistance: It's logical to expect IP68 water and dust resistance to remain part of the features list; the same goes for 5ATM submersion resistance.
Galaxy Watch 7 Battery and Hardware
- A 3nm bomb: A major and very enticing rumor claims that it is not the Galaxy S25, but the Galaxy Watch 7 that could be the first Galaxy device with a 3nm chip. The chip in question is likely the Samsung Exynos W940, which will be the natural evolution of last year's Exynos 930 chip, based on a 5nm manufacturing process.
- Why is this so important: What are the advantages of a 3nm chip compared to a 5nm chip? Simple, the smaller chip has many performance and efficiency benefits, as well as a smaller chip footprint. Hopefully, the 3nm Exynos W940 chip will help the Galaxy Watch 7 line achieve much better battery life and efficiency, always a crucial aspect on a smartwatch.
- Probably the same batteries on board: We don't know if Samsung will be able to fit larger batteries into the Galaxy Watch 7 models. Any potential improvements in battery life could only come from the 3nm Exynos chip. It's possible that the Galaxy Watch 7 will have similar battery capacities to the Galaxy Watch 7. Galaxy Watch 6 series: 300/425mAh for the 40/44mm Galaxy Watch 6 and 43/47mm Galaxy Watch 6 Classic models, respectively.

- You should wait for the Galaxy Watch 7 if You like Samsung's Galaxy Watch devices and are potentially looking for a replacement. On the other hand, the Galaxy Watch 7 could be the perfect entry point into the Galaxy Watch lineup.
- You shouldn't wait for the Galaxy Watch 7 if you recently upgraded to a Galaxy Watch 6/Galaxy Watch 6 Classic or the Galaxy Watch 5/Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
