What we’re expecting
Samsung introduced the squircle with Watch 7, Watch 8 kept it, and Watch 9 is expected to do the same. The Classic model with a rotating physical bezel is not coming in 2026, confirmed by multiple leakers. Leaked color options for Watch 9 are Black, Silver, and Beige.
Three years running, Samsung is rounding the same corners. The Galaxy Watch 9 is reportedly arriving with the same squircle shape and the same sensors as the Watch 8, which itself looked like the Watch 7. The Classic and its rotating bezel aren't coming back this year.
