Jump to Summary

Samsung is gearing up to revamp its smartwatch lineup with the introduction of the Galaxy Watch 7 series, which will include a standard Galaxy Watch 7 and a new Galaxy Watch Ultra. The standard Galaxy Watch 7 is expected to be available in three colors: Marble Gray, Cream White, and Forest Green. The Galaxy Watch Ultra, on the other hand, is rumored to feature a Grade 4 titanium chassis, Sapphire Crystal display protection, and an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. Prices for the Galaxy Watch 7 are anticipated to be between $299 and $310, while the Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to range from $699 to $710.

The official announcement is expected at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, where other products like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and new wireless headphones will also be unveiled. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is set to be the most expensive smartwatch in Samsung's lineup, surpassing the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro's launch price. It is rumored to include features such as a 590mAh battery, 10ATM water resistance, and a larger 47mm size, which will be available only in Titanium Gray.

Leaks suggest that the Galaxy Watch Ultra aims to compete directly with the Apple Watch Ultra, which is currently priced at $800. The Galaxy Watch 7 series is expected to maintain similar pricing to its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 6, with the 40mm and 44mm versions priced similarly. The Ultra model's pricing strategy suggests Samsung's intent to undercut its rivals while offering a high-end, rugged smartwatch with advanced features. Further details, including the exact specifications and availability, are expected to be disclosed at the upcoming event.
