Samsung’s latest leak suggests the company will skip the Galaxy Watch 9 Classic in favor of a refreshed Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Rendered images show a boxier chassis, slimmer display bezels, and a numbered outer ring. The move shifts focus from a mechanical bezel to a slimmer, more robust design.

Inside, One UI 9 Watch will overhaul Samsung Health, add a new face picker and a dedicated compass interface. The new Quick button will drop its solid orange coating for a subtle outline, while side‑button area expands. Users can expect new band colors and a cleaner navigation experience.

The leak comes from tipster Galaxy Techie on X, echoing earlier FCC filings that had fans hoping for a dual release. The numbered ring, running 1 to 12, may or may not rotate, leaving the classic mechanical dial in doubt. Samsung’s shift could streamline the lineup for 2026.

With a cleaner interface, slimmer bezels, and a focus on durability, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 positions itself as the flagship for outdoor enthusiasts and business users alike. Samsung’s decision to drop the Classic line clarifies the brand’s smartwatch strategy, making the Ultra 2 the clear choice for 2026 wearables.
