Samsung is ditching the Galaxy Watch 5 Classic from the Watch 5 lineup


Samsung is tweaking their Galaxy watch strategy as the company’s latest beta health app just listed both the Galaxy Watch 5 and a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, there’s no mention of a Galaxy Watch 5 Classic which means that we might not end up seeing a classic version of the Galaxy Watch the next time they unveil the new version.

What the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will look like is not very clear, however, Ice Universe [A very well-known tipster] Has said that Samsung might drop the rotating bezel and that the wristwear might just use a light but strong titanium case and scratch-resistant sapphire glass. While these new additions could add to the price, they will give this watch a great new upscale look as they improve the durability as well.

The Pro version of the watch is expected to run wear OS like its predecessor, although there is no rumored release date yet. We would recommend you to not just keep your eye out for the Galaxy Watch 5, but also for the Pixel Watch as it might be a really great competitor and a much more value for money package.
