The Samsung Galaxy Watch3 has been leaked nearly fully at this level. There’s some we nonetheless do not know — how a lot it will value, for instance — however we’re pretty certain it may be revealed on August fifth at Samsung Unpacked, we have a lot of the specs at this level, and even a take a look at a dwell Watch three with a band getting unboxed and arrange in a hands-on video. If Samsung has any large Watch three secrets and techniques left, they’re nicely hidden, however here is every little thing we all know to date.

What’s going to it appear like?

Our greatest take a look at the Watch three but is on this unboxing video, which exposes mainly every little thing concerning the watch.

This video just about has ruined Samsung’s large reveal, and whereas we have extra pictures beneath, none provide the shut look this video does.

We have seen technical drawings, images, and renders, and by all indications, the Galaxy Watch3 will look extra like a standard watch than its predecessors, with extra pronounced facet buttons and second indicators etched round its face.

Our first take a look at the unit within the flesh got here by the use of images from South Korea’s Nationwide Radio Analysis Company:

There are two types labeled SM-840 and SM-850; the previous has knurling across the bezel whereas the latter has a smoother look.

Final month, TechTalkTV on Twitter surfaced some low-quality images of the watch in motion, displaying off the UI. Shortly thereafter, we obtained higher-quality images from an nameless supply:

There’s nothing notably revelatory right here; simply the knurled SM-840 sporting a well-known Tizen interface. You may also see Samsung’s trademark radial app picker within the first photograph. In line with SamMobile, that interface will probably be managed with a bodily rotating bezel — a preferred function from the primary Galaxy Watch that was absent from the Watch Energetic and Active2 (though the latter did have a capacitive touch-sensitive bezel).

What are the specs?

SamMobile reported to have gotten its palms on the Galaxy Watch3’s spec sheet final month. Throughout the 2 case sizes that will probably be obtainable — 41 millimeters and 44 millimeters — it appears like the one variations in specs will probably be show and battery dimension.

The Galaxy Watch3 can also be reportedly going to be geared up with a coronary heart charge monitor with eight pulse-reading photodiodes and assist for blood strain monitoring, plus an electrocardiogram sensor. It is price noting that the Galaxy Watch Active2 had an ECG sensor worldwide, but it surely was solely enabled in Korea, so hopefully that may be cleared to be used in different international locations when the watch launches.

Batteries on this new collection are anticipated to be a bit smaller than these on the unique Galaxy Watch, with the 41mm settling for a 247 mAh cell and the 45mm variant rocking a 340 mAh battery — though these are the identical sizes as present in final yr’s Active2 watches, which Corbin obtained over two days of battery life from in his assessment.

The identical nameless supply who offered the images above additionally gave us just a few screenshots of the Watch3 related to the Galaxy Wearable app:

You may see within the first display screen that there is 56 p.c battery remaining, which apparently interprets to 16 hours and 54 minutes of time left. If you happen to stroll that out, you get 30 hours and 11 minutes of life on a full cost. In fact, it will not be that exact; precise battery life will rely on utilization. Nonetheless, it offers us a tough concept.

When will or not it’s obtainable?

We’ve not heard something concrete about an announcement or launch date for the Galaxy Watch3, but it surely appears seemingly it will be unveiled at Samsung’s Notice20 occasion on August 5, the place we must always be taught pricing and availability on the corporate’s latest wearable.

Any new particulars we be taught concerning the upcoming Galaxy Watch3 will probably be added proper right here, so make sure to test again within the weeks main as much as its anticipated reveal in August.
