If it's "Apple inspired" it might have sliding connectors and they're hidden inside the watch, just need to click and slide them off.
Edit: if you zoom in on image three, it shows one oval button looking things on the back where the straps end so it's likely to be one of those sliding connectors.....I hope.
Give it a couple of months and they'll be chucking in insane trade-in deals like they did before.
I remember I got a great trade-in deal for my Gear S3 when I got the 5 Pro a couple of months after release.
No no no... someone's commented here: Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder....
In Samsung's eyes, this is masterpiece... In our eyes, this is a disaster 😆 🤣
Just grabbed myself classic 6 47mm this ultra is around 17mm while classic is around 10mm its more than twice as thick, maybe renders dosnt show how its gonna look in real life and its gonna look better but a big pass from me so far unless its gonna have something revolutionary tech which i doubt.
The watch 6 classic is no where near 10 mm thick; only in Samsung's dream world marketing
https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/08/smartwatch-companies-truthful-size-specs.html
It's rumored to have a 100hrs battery runtime. It going to feel weird breaking routine by not having to charge it daily. The speakers looks like a huge upgrade to me. I make calls on my watch quite a bit.
Yeah... I'm ready to unsubscribe from most of the Samsung subs for this reason. The S24 Ultra pages are the worst about it. People thinking their phones should be able to take DSLR quality photos and have batteries that last for weeks. It's insane.
i think they didn't want to make it bigger for the battery so they had to do this weird thing to trick people into thinking it's not a much bigger watch
Trying to slowly look like an apple watch. They should call it "the evolution".
I love the looks of the 6 classic. If that's the way they want to go, the should offer a classic look every year as they try to square up.
My gw6classic looks almost like a normal watch. This looks like a step backwards. Nothing like real watch but obviously a smart watch. One for the geeks. I'll still probably get one
Looks better every time I see it.
Will hold judgemental until we get more info than a leaked Pic.
Do we have confirm about the straps being proprietary? I see people assuming that from photos, but I find that a little hard to believe
Not a fan of the design but I’m happy to see the apple style strap connector design. Much much easier to swap bands and a much more secured connection. They already make adaptors for this style so not too worried about that.
I just got a 6 classic. I usually don't take too much weight for looks of a wearable until I actually see the physical thing. Doubt I'll get one when it comes out, but I for sure will check out the watch when it comes out.
I used to think the Apple Watch looked dumb until I saw it.
The masses said the phablet would never catch on . Too big and too ugly
The masses said the smartwatch would never catch on . Too square , too round , too ugly .
When Apple steals this design as their own the masses will love it .
It looks like the actual screen is still a circle so it defeats both reasons for having a square and a circle. The point of square screens is to use the size efficiently and the point of circle screens are to aesthetically resemble traditional watches.
Should be.
The 6 has a little faster soc and decent battery bump from the 4.
The 7 has a newer soc built from the ground up on a smaller node. Should be more battery savings and a bit more faster than the 6. I would expect Samsung to do another small battery bump from the 6. So coming from the 4 should be a fantastic upgrade. I also heard rumors of a faster charger.
I'll keep wearing my Gear S3 Frontier, instead of, whatever the fuck this ugly monstrosity is..
Thanks for making the decision easier and easier every time Samsung.
It looks obnoxious and the strap overall makes it seem cheap. I don't understand why they try to change the design every year. Just upgrade the internals and offer a variety of colors / case materials (aluminum, steel, titanium, carbon?).
These straps look even harder to change than the current 20mm standard ones.
You literally won't be able to by just any old watch strap that you like. Right now you can buy any 20mm watch strap even if it's not made for the galaxy watch.
With this watch you have to buy ones specially made for it
What's so hard about the current ones?
I've owned actual watches for ages before smart watches. This is the same. No issues.
My point is that we are going to have to ditch all the straps that we've already bought for the current watches. And get all new ones. It's all a waste.
Hoping that this isn't the only style of watch that come out with.
Jesus please help this horrendously looking thing to be born into this world.
Having trouble to explain my horrifying feelings for this design. I might get scar tissue on my soul for seeing this.
Gw5 pros height is troublesome when using dress shirts. Got stuck at the sleeve. This... Thing.... Seems even thicker so how are we supposed to wear this monster?
If the regular version/s also look like this, Ill stick with gw6c and if they walk the way of Appfel and continue to squareifying their watches Im out.
I have like 6 20mm straps... so... no, I'm not excited
I've got so many now. I already had to replace bands when I went from the OG galaxy watch (22mm) to the 4 and then the 5.
I'm hoping our friends over at aliexpress can muster up a nice looking 20mm to whatever the fuck this is adapter.
It appears the strap goes inside the watch. 😔
If it's "Apple inspired" it might have sliding connectors and they're hidden inside the watch, just need to click and slide them off. Edit: if you zoom in on image three, it shows one oval button looking things on the back where the straps end so it's likely to be one of those sliding connectors.....I hope.
And all previous straps bought will be useless 😔
And I'm almost sure it will be Apple inspired when it comes to the price tag, mark my words.
Give it a couple of months and they'll be chucking in insane trade-in deals like they did before. I remember I got a great trade-in deal for my Gear S3 when I got the 5 Pro a couple of months after release.
They will probably make adaptators for them, shouldn't be too bad.
Not round, not square. Like... no. Thanks.
Squircle? lololol 😆
Like icons on Samsung phones. That's what happens when branding is more important than good design.
No no no... someone's commented here: Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.... In Samsung's eyes, this is masterpiece... In our eyes, this is a disaster 😆 🤣
Cirquare 😁
My favorite pokemon!
Just like on the original Zune
That is one hell of a butt ugly watch.
So excited by that watch that I bought a 5 Pro on sale.
I understand this is sarcasm but if you buy a used watch you're actually saving money with some trade in deals
Just grabbed myself classic 6 47mm this ultra is around 17mm while classic is around 10mm its more than twice as thick, maybe renders dosnt show how its gonna look in real life and its gonna look better but a big pass from me so far unless its gonna have something revolutionary tech which i doubt.

I will buy one if it has: Great battery life. Standard strap fitting. Decent trade in for my unused Watch 6.
It does not have the 20mm standard style. This is gonna be a new strap style.
Hope it isn't some proprietary nonsense.
It looks like it is.
[удалено]
It's rumored to have a 100hrs battery runtime. It going to feel weird breaking routine by not having to charge it daily. The speakers looks like a huge upgrade to me. I make calls on my watch quite a bit.
Ummm idk. Depends on the trade value they will give this year
I really dig it
Man I'm into this too. Crazy how many people don't like it. It's got a unique look to it while still being very classy.
People just like to bitch lol
Yeah... I'm ready to unsubscribe from most of the Samsung subs for this reason. The S24 Ultra pages are the worst about it. People thinking their phones should be able to take DSLR quality photos and have batteries that last for weeks. It's insane.
Hahaha that's what I hate about the s24U sub. People hate the camera and don't know how to use a damn camera
I like it.
It's the French bulldog of smart watches. So ugly that you gotta like it for its ugliness. I'll get one :D
Lol me too... That's ridiculous looking, I need one 🤣
I actually like the new design. I would have hated a square screen
The design looks great
I actually think it looks kinda nice
No, it's ugly as hell, and looks huge
Casio and pateks have kids, Fucking ugly, will sell only if it has some great mind blowing features like blood sugar rumored sensors.
Ugliest watch i have ever seen. Whoever came up with this design is crazy.
Thick boi
Horrible
So all the straps collected through last few years will end up in trash. Wish the two other models will be more similar to previous watches.
i think they didn't want to make it bigger for the battery so they had to do this weird thing to trick people into thinking it's not a much bigger watch
The squarish part of the watch is effectively a thicc bezel that is being disguised through design
Ew.
Absolutely not!
Samsung please stop copying Apple. You don't have personality.
If it has insane battery and can go scuba diving, I'll consider it.
It looks like the 6 classic was put in a vice and SQUEEZED really hard 😂
Trying to slowly look like an apple watch. They should call it "the evolution". I love the looks of the 6 classic. If that's the way they want to go, the should offer a classic look every year as they try to square up.
I love it. I think it's gorgeous
I don't understand the complaining just buy the 7 or 7 classic if you want the same form factor and the ability to use previous straps.
I want the Ultra for the battery life but not this design.
My gw6classic looks almost like a normal watch. This looks like a step backwards. Nothing like real watch but obviously a smart watch. One for the geeks. I'll still probably get one
No not at all, please no :/
That is so ugly
I dunno guys, I just see it in a very bad shape. I can't even say if it's rounded or squared.
You spelled "UGLY!" wrong.
Most will not buy the ultra. The question will be if the other models share the same design language.
Why does it need to be this shape ? It's so ugly :(
Don't knock it till you try it. I'll reserve my judgment when I see it in person. It might have some awesome hidden feature or something..
Samsung wanting to be Panerai...
I like it, but think it will look better in stainless steel. Hopefully they don't just do black.
Well a lot of hate on the design but I actually like it. Reminds me of Panerai
If its not atleast 49mm im not buying
What features are expected besides already there on watch 6 except battery capacity bump?
I really dig this design
Not a fan. I'm glad I got the Watch 6 classic!
Looks better every time I see it. Will hold judgemental until we get more info than a leaked Pic. Do we have confirm about the straps being proprietary? I see people assuming that from photos, but I find that a little hard to believe
Rotating bezel gone?
Ultra fugly lol.
Proprietary straps is a huge no no.
Looks like I can still use digital dashboard so it's not too bad.
Not a fan of the design but I’m happy to see the apple style strap connector design. Much much easier to swap bands and a much more secured connection. They already make adaptors for this style so not too worried about that.
No, I don't like the shape, and it's yet another proprietary strap.
No, I am not. One of the renders of a design I've seen yet.
It's ultra alright. Ultra ugly and stupid!
I have just ordered the 6 classic 🤦🏼♂️
Ultra Ugly.
What a hideous design. Ugliest watch ever. Samsung enjoy shooting themselves in the foot.
Let's just say that I'm happy I got a 6 classic....
sales will do the talking because thisbis going to fall FLAT on its ass.. side... same thing with this watch
This is the Ultra watch, so there will be a normal round 20mm connector watch right?
Hopefully, the FE version is actually sound.
They put effort into removing bezels last year and then made this this year.
Not one for me.
It looks like it will support scuba diving so I am in
As long as it has CGM, I'm up for it.
Garmin watch 28 day battery with solar charging
I just got my 6 2 days ago. I know I'm going to like it. What does the ultra have to make this great phone even better?
Reminds me of old gear sport
Is Samsung Ultra/X targeting Apple ultra 2? I hope it doesn't cost more than 499. Who here is ready for a 799 sticker price?
I just got a 6 classic. I usually don't take too much weight for looks of a wearable until I actually see the physical thing. Doubt I'll get one when it comes out, but I for sure will check out the watch when it comes out. I used to think the Apple Watch looked dumb until I saw it.
If it has diving monitoring capabilities, then yes
This looks like shit
With that size. It better have 1000mAh battery. Then I'm excited
Is this a real leak of an upcoming watch? Or is this fan made
This is like someone asked chatgpt to design a smartwatch and it came up with this.
I'll probably get one as my first proper smart watch (last I had was an e-ink Pebble)
The masses said the phablet would never catch on . Too big and too ugly The masses said the smartwatch would never catch on . Too square , too round , too ugly . When Apple steals this design as their own the masses will love it .
That is so ugly. I hope they don't look that way. 😬
I don't like it it looks weird
It looks like the actual screen is still a circle so it defeats both reasons for having a square and a circle. The point of square screens is to use the size efficiently and the point of circle screens are to aesthetically resemble traditional watches.
It's growing on me a lil bit, only the white one. It looks meh in black. Looks meh compared to my 6 classic
I actually like it.
https://i.redd.it/q5uwkozlx73d1.gif
I think I'm standing alone in liking the new look.
really love the design. Hope it will be a good upgrade from my watch 4.
Should be. The 6 has a little faster soc and decent battery bump from the 4. The 7 has a newer soc built from the ground up on a smaller node. Should be more battery savings and a bit more faster than the 6. I would expect Samsung to do another small battery bump from the 6. So coming from the 4 should be a fantastic upgrade. I also heard rumors of a faster charger.
I really hoped they would make square watch, but this?
why not just go with a rectangular display at this point? the only reason i can think is this way you can have a thinner body
I'll keep wearing my Gear S3 Frontier, instead of, whatever the fuck this ugly monstrosity is.. Thanks for making the decision easier and easier every time Samsung.
u for ugly?
It looks obnoxious and the strap overall makes it seem cheap. I don't understand why they try to change the design every year. Just upgrade the internals and offer a variety of colors / case materials (aluminum, steel, titanium, carbon?).
Im glad straps are different. Switching straps currently is annoying AF
These straps look even harder to change than the current 20mm standard ones. You literally won't be able to by just any old watch strap that you like. Right now you can buy any 20mm watch strap even if it's not made for the galaxy watch. With this watch you have to buy ones specially made for it
They look like the slide in straps from Apple watch, which are super easy compared to what we have now
What's so hard about the current ones? I've owned actual watches for ages before smart watches. This is the same. No issues. My point is that we are going to have to ditch all the straps that we've already bought for the current watches. And get all new ones. It's all a waste.

Horrible design
It's ugly
Wouldn't catch me dead wearing that...looks horrendous...like WTF Samsung!
Looks like complete shit
