New leak suggests a redesigned Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, new colors, and no Watch Classic

At a glance:\n- Galaxy Watch 9 and Ultra 2 get new band designs, colors, and watch faces.\n- Ultra 2 will have a boxier shape, thinner bezels, improved side buttons, and an orange‑outlined quick button.\n- Samsung will not launch a Galaxy Watch 9 Classic this year.\n\n## Design and color updates\nThe leak, posted by Galaxy Techie on X, shows design sketches and software renders. It indicates Samsung is revamping the band lineup, adding new color palettes and watch faces for both the Watch 9 and Ultra 2.\n\nThe new colors include black with a bluish band and silver with a green band, while a beige variant is reportedly reserved for the base model. It remains unclear whether these hues apply to the Ultra 2, the Watch 9, or both.\n\n## Ultra 2 specifics\nThe Ultra 2 is said to adopt a boxier silhouette that borrows cues from the Watch 8 Classic, including a numbered bezel. Whether the bezel will remain rotatable, as it did on the Watch 8 Classic, is still unknown, but the leak claims the Ultra 2 will feature thinner bezels overall.\n\nSide buttons will be upgraded, and the quick button will sport an orange outline, giving the watch a more distinct look. Battery capacity is projected at 784 mAh, a significant increase over the 382 mAh in the Watch 9.\n\n## Software and specs\nThe software renders show the compass app, an app drawer, and a watch‑face selection screen, hinting at a refreshed UI. Regulatory filings suggest that, despite larger batteries, the charging speed will stay the same.\n\nSamsung has confirmed that the next Galaxy Watch will be powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite SoC. The company is expected to unveil the Watch 9 and Ultra 2 at the Galaxy Unpacked event slated for July 22 in London, and the leak confirms that a Watch 9 Classic will not be part of this year’s lineup.
