======================================================================Samsung 
could be planning a big upgrade for its Galaxy Watch A new patent reveals a 
different type of strap mechanism It could make straps easier to attach, 
adjust, and secure 

Your next Samsung Galaxy Watch could come with a brand-new strap mechanism 
that would make it easier to attach, adjust, and secure the band to your 
wrist, according to a new patent filed by the company. 

Samsung's Galaxy Watch range makes up some of the best Android smartwatches 
on the planet, and its wearables currently feature a nifty quick-release 
mechanism to help you change straps. 

However, it looks like the company is working on an updated design. 91Mobiles 
has spotted a new patent filed on the World Intellectual Property 
Organisation website. Titled "WEARABLE DEVICE INCLUDING STRUCTURE FOR 
ASSISTING ASSEMBLY," it reveals a new type of strap design that could make 
Galaxy Watches of the future much easier to use. Samsung's next Galaxy Watch

As the report explains, the patent reveals a strap with three component 
parts. There's a core made up of two fastening portions, one of which moves 
and one of which is static. The strap itself is made up of two halves of a 
band and a frame to connect them to the core, and finally grooves, which 
facilitate the connection between the two. 

The new design should make it easier to attach and detach watch bands at a 
moment's notice while ensuring they stay more securely fastened to your watch 
when you're wearing it. 

The patent also appears to suggest that the design would enable bands to fit 
more comfortably and crucially states that this could lead to more accurate 
fitness tracking and health data. 

That latter point is the most exciting detail of this potential upgrade, as 
getting your smartwatch to fit correctly is vital when it comes to getting 
accurate heart rate monitoring, sleep-tracking, and exercise readouts. 

The Galaxy Watch 7 , while fantastic, wasn't a huge upgrade on the Series 6. 
If Samsung sticks to its usual release cadence we could get a new Watch 8 
next year, and rumored changes could include a move to the 'squircle' design, 
as well as possible blood glucose and diabetes monitoring. You may also like
