👀 Leaks & Rumors
Leaked renders suggest the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 and Watch Ultra 2 are getting thinner bezels and boxier cases for a July 22 debut, but none of that matters unless Samsung finally matches the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and Coros Pace 3 on battery life—updated design, stalled innovation.
Marty’s Take:
Hold off on any $300+ smartwatch purchase until July 23. Samsung Unpacked events consistently trigger clearance pricing across the market — Apple Watch, Pixel Watch 3, and Galaxy Watch7 all see discounts as retailers prep for new inventory. The Galaxy Watch9 redesign looks fresh, but if your priorities run toward training load and recovery metrics, our comparison guides show why Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and Coros Pace 3 still own that lane.
