Overview
Overview
The first smartwatch under this series, the Galaxy Watch, was released in August 2018. The Galaxy Watch series shares the circular form factor of the Samsung Gear S2 and S3, as a result much of the OS features are shared between the Gear S2 and S3 and the Galaxy Watch.

Operating system
Operating system
For the original Galaxy Watch, the Watch Active and Active 2 and the Watch 3, Samsung used its in-house developed Tizen OS, which it previously used for the Samsung Gear series of watches. With the announcement of the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic in August 2021, Samsung entered into a partnership with Google to work together on Wear OS bringing some features from Samsung's Tizen with One UI Watch to Wear OS, while other features remained exclusive to Samsung's own customization to the OS, despite the fact that Wear OS is closed-source.

Galaxy Watch
The baseline Galaxy Watch series started as the lower cost Galaxy Watch Active line. Unlike the original Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch3, these watches were missing the rotating bezel. The Active line put more focus on fitness and wellness. With the 4th generation, the “Active” label was dropped in favor of the form-factor becoming the base smartwatch in the series. The Galaxy Watch4 was used as the base for the Galaxy Watch FE in 2024. The Watch 5 introduced a temperature sensor and added support for fast charging. The Watch 6 had an increased battery capacity and increased RAM. The Watch 7 had increased storage, an improved sensor, and support for faster charging. The Watch 5 Pro and Watch Ultra are the only watches to support GPX routes. • Model — Watch Active — Watch Active 2 — Watch 4 — Watch 5 — Watch 6 — Watch 7 — Watch 8 — Watch 9 • 40 mm — 44 mm — 40 mm — 44 mm — 40 mm — 44 mm — 40 mm — 44 mm — 40 mm — 44 mm — 40 mm — 44 mm — 40 mm — 44 mm • Support status — Unsupported — Supported • Dates — Announced — 20 February 2019 — 5 August 2019 — 11 August 2021 — 10 August 2022 — 26 July 2023 — 10 July 2024 — 9 July 2025 — 22 July 2026 • Released — 8 March 2019 — 13 September 2019 — 27 August 2021 — 26 August 2022 — 11 August 2023 — 19 July 2024 — 25 July 2025 — 7 August 2026 • Model number — SM-R500 — SM-R830 SM-R835 LTE — SM-R820 SM-R825 LTE — SM-R860 SM-R865 LTE — SM-R870 SM-R875 LTE — SM-R900 SM-R905 LTE — SM-R910 SM-R915 LTE — SM-R930 SM-R935 LTE — SM-R940 SM-R945 LTE — SM-L300 SM-L305 LTE — SM-L310 SM-L315 LTE — SM-L320 SM-L325 LTE — SM-L330 SM-L335 LTE • OS — Initial — One UI Watch 1.0 Tizen 4.0.0.3 — One UI Watch 1.2 Tizen 4.0.0.7 — One UI Watch 3.0 Wear OS 3.0 — One UI Watch 4.5 Wear OS 3.5 — One UI Watch 5.0 Wear OS 4.0 — One UI Watch 6.0 Wear OS 5.0 — One UI Watch 8.0 Wear OS 6.0 — One UI Watch 9.0 Wear OS 7.0 • Latest — One UI Watch 2.0 Tizen 5.5.0.2 — One UI Watch 8.0 Wear OS 6.0 — One UI Watch 9.0 Wear OS 7.0 • Dimensions mm (in) — Height — 39.5 mm — 40 mm — 44 mm — 40.4 mm — 44.4 mm — 40.4 mm — 44.4 mm — 38.8 mm — 42.8 mm — 40.4 mm — 44.4 mm — 40.4 mm — 43.7 mm — 40.4 mm — 43.7 mm • Width — 39.3 mm — 43.3 mm — 39.3 mm — 43.3 mm — 40.4 mm — 42.7 mm — 46 mm — 42.7 mm — 46 mm • Depth — 10.5 mm — 10.9 mm — 9.8 mm — 9.8 mm — 9 mm — 9.7 mm — 8.6 mm • Weight g (lb) — 25 g — 37 g — 44 g — 25.9 g — 30.3 g — 28.7 g — 33.5 g — 28.7 g — 33.3 g — 28.8 g — 33.8 g — 30 g — 34 g — 32 g — 36 g • Colors — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 #dedacf — #dedacf — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 — #dedacf — #bbbcc0 • Display — Size — 1.1 in — 1.19 in — 1.39 in — 1.19 in — 1.39 in — 1.19 in — 1.39 in — 1.31 in — 1.46 in — 1.31 in — 1.46 in — 1.34 in — 1.47 in — 1.34 in — 1.47 in • Resolution — 360 x 360 — 396 x 396 — 450 x 450 — 396 x 396 — 450 x 450 — 432 x 432 — 480 x 480 — 432 x 432 — 480 x 480 — 438 x 438 — 480 x 480 — 438 x 438 — 480 x 480 • Type — Super AMOLED • Glass — Gorilla Glass 3 — Gorilla Glass DX+ — Sapphire crystal • RAM — 768 MB — 768 MB 1.5 GB — 1.5 GB — 2 GB • Storage — 4 GB — 16 GB — 32 GB • Processor — Samsung Exynos 9110 — Samsung Exynos W920 — Samsung Exynos W930 — Samsung Exynos W1000 — Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite • Connectivity — Wi-Fi — Wi-Fi 4 — Wi-Fi 5 • Bluetooth — 4.2 — 5.0 — 5.2 — 5.3 — 5.4 — 6.0 • Cellular — colspan="14" LTE optional • NFC — colspan="15" • Positioning — GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS • Battery — Capacity (mAh) — 230 — 247 — 340 — 247 — 361 — 284 — 410 — 300 — 425 — 300 — 425 — 325 — 435 — 390 — 445 • Sensors — Accelerometer — colspan="15" • Gyroscope — colspan="15" • Barometer — colspan="15" • Electro-optical sensor — colspan="15" • Photodetector — colspan="15" • ECG — colspan="14" • HRM — colspan="3" — colspan="12" • Blood oxygen monitor — colspan="3" — colspan="12" • Blood pressure monitor — colspan="3" — colspan="12" • Bioelectrical impedance analysis — colspan="3" — colspan="12" • Temperature — colspan="5" — colspan="10"
Galaxy Watch Classic
Galaxy Watch Classic
The Galaxy Watch Classic line supersedes the Samsung Gear S2 and S3, inheriting the rotating bezel introduced with the Gear S2. For the first and third generation of the Galaxy Watch line, it functioned as the base smartwatch of the series. The classic line did not get a device in the second generation. However, as of the 4th generation, the original design was promoted to take on a more premium spot in the line-up. The 4th, 6th and 8th generation all continue the use of the rotating bezel as an optional navigation interface. The Watch5 Pro and Watch Ultra omit the feature, both the 5th and 7th generation do not have a Classic variant of the smartwatch. • Model — Watch — Watch 3 — Watch 4 Classic — Watch 5 Pro — Watch 6 Classic — Watch Ultra — Watch 8 Classic — Watch Ultra 2 • 42 mm — 46 mm — 41 mm — 45 mm — 42 mm — 46 mm — 45 mm — 43 mm — 47 mm — 46 mm — 47 mm • Support status — Unsupported — Supported • Dates — Announced — 11 August 2018 — 5 August 2020 — 11 August 2021 — 10 August 2022 — 26 July 2023 — 10 July 2024 — 9 July 2025 — 22 July 2026 • Released — 24 August 2018 — 6 August 2020 — 27 August 2021 — 26 August 2022 — 11 August 2023 — 19 July 2024 — 25 July 2025 — 7 August 2026 • Model number — SM-R810 SM-R815 LTE — SM-R800 SM-R805 LTE — SM-R840 SM-R845 LTE — SM-R850 SM-R855 LTE — SM-R880 SM-R885 LTE — SM-R890 SM-R895 LTE — SM-R920 SM-R925 LTE — SM-R950 SM-R955 LTE — SM-R960 SM-R965 LTE — SM-L705F SM-L705N SM-L705U — SM-L500 SM-L505U — SM-L715 • OS — Initial — Tizen 4.0.0.0 — One UI Watch 2.0 Tizen 5.5.0.1 — One UI Watch 3.0 Wear OS 3.0 — One UI Watch 4.5 Wear OS 3.5 — One UI Watch 5.0 Wear OS 4.0 — One UI Watch 6.0 Wear OS 5.0 — One UI Watch 8.0 Wear OS 6.0 — One UI Watch 9.0 Wear OS 7.0 • Latest — One UI Watch 2.0 Tizen 5.5.0.2 — One UI Watch 8.0 Wear OS 6.0 — One UI Watch 9.0 Wear OS 7.0 • Dimensions mm (in) — Height — 45.7 mm — 49 mm — 42.5 mm — 46.2 mm — 41.5 mm — 45.5 mm — 45.4 mm — 42.5 mm — 46.5 mm — 47.4 mm — 46.7 mm — 47.4 mm • Width — 41.9 mm — 46 mm — 41 mm — 45 mm — 46 mm • Depth — 12.7 mm — 13 mm — 11.3 mm — 11.1 mm — 11 mm — 11.2 mm — 10.5 mm — 10.9 mm — 12.1 mm — 10.6 mm — 10.7 mm • Weight g (lb) — 49 g — 63 g — 48.2 g — 53.8 g — 46.5 g — 52 g — 46.5 g — 52 g — 59 g — 60.5 g — 63.5 g — 61.5 g • Colors — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 — #bbbcc0 • Display — Size — 1.19 in — 1.31 in — 1.19 in — 1.39 in — 1.19 in — 1.39 in — 1.31 in — 1.46 in — 1.34 in — 1.52 in • Resolution — 360 x 360 — 396 x 396 — 450 x 450 — 432 x 432 — 480 x 480 — 438 x 438 — 498 x 498 • Type — Super AMOLED • Glass — Gorilla Glass DX+ — Sapphire crystal • RAM — 768 MB 1.5 GB — 1 GB — 1.5 GB — 2 GB • Storage — 4 GB — 4 GB 8 GB — 16 GB — 32 GB 64 GB — 64 GB • Processor — Samsung Exynos 9110 — Samsung Exynos W920 — Samsung Exynos W930 — Samsung Exynos W1000 — Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite • Connectivity — Wi-Fi — Wi-Fi 4 — Wi-Fi 5 • Bluetooth — 4.2 — 5.0 — 5.2 — 5.3 — 5.4 — 6.0 • Cellular — colspan="9" LTE optional — colspan="1" — colspan="1" LTE optional — colspan="1" • NFC — colspan="12" • Positioning — GPS, GLONASS — GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS • Battery — Capacity (mAh) — 270 — 472 — 247 — 340 — 247 — 361 — 590 — 300 — 425 — 590 — 445 — 800 • Sensors — Accelerometer — colspan="12" • Gyroscope — colspan="12" • Barometer — colspan="12" • Electro-optical sensor — colspan="12" • Photodetector — colspan="12" • ECG — colspan="2" — colspan="10" • HRM — colspan="2" — colspan="10" • Blood oxygen monitor — colspan="4" — colspan="8" • Blood pressure monitor — colspan="4" — colspan="8" • Bioelectrical impedance analysis — colspan="4" — colspan="8" • Temperature — colspan="6" — colspan="6"
