FULL STORY
======================================================================

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic have been reportedly spotted on a list 
of Google Play-supported devices, adding weight to the rumors that the brands 
two new best smartwatch devices will debut during Samsungs Galaxy Unpacked 
event later this month. 

Currently expected to go ahead on July 26, Samsungs summer Galaxy Unpacked 
event will unveil a slate of new devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 
5 and Z Fold 5 foldable phones. We were also expecting the Samsung Galaxy 
Watch 6 range, including the flagship Watch 6 and the Watch 6 Classic, but 
have heard no confirmation of the existence of a Watch 6 Pro. 

This latest tidbit of information, if accurate, could be considered 
confirmation that no Pro model will be arriving this year. 

First spotted by PriceBaba , the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic have 
been found on a database of devices that are supported by Google. As Samsung 
Galaxy Watches tend to run its own version of Wear OS, wrapped within its One 
UI Watch interface, it requires support for the Google Play store, so its 
appearance on such a database makes sense. 

The codenames for small and large versions of both models are fresh6bs and 
fresh6bl for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and wise6bs and wise6bl for the Watch 
6 Classic, the last letters presumably standing for small and large 
respectively. 

Previous Classic editions such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic featured 
a physical rotating bezel in order to seem more like a classic timepiece with 
analog elements. We assume the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic will have a 
similar feature. Analysis: No 6 Pro yet (Image credit: Future) 

A Classic model was missing from last years lineup of Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 
devices, with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro taking its place instead. A 
premium watch with a rugged raised bezel and advanced GPS features, it was 
Samsungs most powerful watch to date. 

This year, the roles seem to have been reversed again, with the Watch 6 
missing a Pro model and the classic taking its place instead. We wonder if 
this is the start of a trend, with Samsung releasing two watches each cycle, 
alternating between a Pro and a Classic model in the second slot. 

Last year, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro went toe to toe with the Apple 
Watch Ultra, but how does the basic Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 get on vs the 
Apple Watch Series 8 ?
