Next month, Samsung is expected to hold its annual summer edition of Galaxy Unpacked, where at least two new Galaxy Watches should launch alongside the Galaxy S27 Ultra smartphone.
Recently, SammyGuru discovered both the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2 in China’s 3C certification database. However, there’s something missing: Apparently, we won’t be seeing a new version of the Classic model.
The 3C certification does appear to list at least one spec for the two watches. The listing confirms that both watches will support 10W charging, which is the same as the Ultra Watch and the Galaxy Watch 8.

No Classic model?

A lack of a Classic model isn’t too surprising, since Samsung typically releases it on a two-year schedule. So after last year’s Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, we likely won’t see it again until the Galaxy Watch 10 Classic next year.
However, at the end of May, Android Authority did find development codenames including one, ‘wise9’, which seems to indicate that a Classic model is in the works. “Wise9” would seem to signify the Watch 10 Classic, as the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic was codenamed wise8.

Currently, we lean toward trusting the certification listing, but it’s possible Samsung could surprise us on July 22, when the launch is rumored to occur.

Galaxy Unpacked 2026 is likely going to be a full event in July.
Not only are we expecting the next Galaxy Watches, but at least three foldable phones. The usual iterative Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 should be accompanied by a new Galaxy Z Fold Ultra, a wider version of the Z Fold that’s meant to rival the rumored iPhone Fold.
We could also potentially get another look at Samsung’s ‘Intelligent Eyewear’ Glasses, which were previewed at Google I/O in May, though Samsung has confirmed that they won’t actually release until the Fall.
