The Short Version
Code evidence points to a Galaxy Watch 9 Classic with rotating bezel and raise-to-talk feature, with a July 2026 launch expected.
Code buried in software suggests the Galaxy Watch 9 Classic is coming back with its physical rotating bezel, the feature fans complained Samsung dropped, plus raise-to-talk, which lets you start a voice command just by lifting your wrist without pressing anything. Both are things Pixel Watch 4 already does or already has. A July 2026 launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 would confirm Samsung is playing catch-up to its own software partner.
