Samsung’s next-gen smartwatches identified by model numbers SM-L300, SM-L305, SM-L310, and SM-L315, have been spotted on the FCC certification. The latest Galaxy Watch 7 series will be revealed at the next Samsung Unpacked event scheduled to be held on July 10, 2024.
We got wind of some of the features, including Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, and different models; Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 7 Classic/Pro, and Galaxy Watch 7 FE. Samsung is also expected to showcase the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Samsung, Apple, and Google have been the leading competitors in the wearables and smartwatch market for years now. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is one of the best smartwatches for Android users, especially those with Samsung phones. It features a rotating bezel, health and fitness tracking, durable sapphire glass, potentially longer battery life, LTE connectivity, and a more competitive price than the Apple Watch Series 9.
Although the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic are ideal for Android users, the Apple Watch Series 9 continues to set the standard for smartwatches. It runs on the efficient S9 chip, with improved battery life and on-device Siri processing for quick and private responses. Features include Double Tap, which lets you control the watch by tapping two fingers together, an FDA-cleared electrocardiogram sensor, and SpO2 measurement, although this last feature is no longer available on US models sold after January 18, 2024, due to the Apple Watch blood-oxygen monitoring patent dispute.
Google’s Pixel Watch 2 which is another good smartwatch for Android users now includes auto-start workout detection, fall detection, SpO2 measurements, and a modernized Fitbit app. It also introduces Safety Check and Body Response features for stress detection and management. Although it’s great for health and fitness tracking, the battery life lasts only about a day.
