The Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro will be the names of the next Samsung smart wearables. The latest update of the Samsung health app has provided some clarity on the naming pattern of the Galaxy Watch 5 series. The update which could point to an imminent launch of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro models, also indicates the absence of the classic model in the Watch 5 lineup.

The Galaxy Watch 4 beta update for the Samsung Health app has added support for the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro. The Galaxy Watch 4 beta update does not provide any significant changes to its features. There was no mention of the Galaxy Watch 5 Classic in the health update. It is most probable that the classic model will not be part of the new Watch 5 series. There’s a precedent because Samsung acted similarly before the launch of the Galaxy Watch 4 series.

Rumors around the Galaxy Watch 5 have been rife before now. Some tipsters have commented that the Watch 5 Pro will not have a rotating bezel. Samsung is also rumored to have used durable materials like sapphire glass and titanium to offer improved protection. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is certainly the higher of the two models and it has a premium look.

There are no specifics yet on the rollout of the Galaxy Watch 5 series. In the case of the Galaxy Watch 4, the health app update preceded the launch by a month.

If you ever owned a Galaxy watch, you know how satisfying the physical rotating bezel is to use. It’s probably the most loved feature of Samsung’s Galaxy watches. The bezel makes it easy to scroll through widgets, screens, and apps. However, according to a new leak, it might be the time to bid adieu to the beloved rotating bezel.

There were already rumors about Samsung considering ditching the classic watch design along with physical rotating bezels. Now a new tweet by tipster Ice Universe suggests that the South Korean tech giant may actually do it.

Replying to a tweet by a user, who was being optimistic about Samsung retaining the bezel on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, the tipster Ice Universe said “the galaxy watch5 Pro will disappoint you”. He didn’t say the watch won’t have a rotating bezel, but his tweet hinted at the possibility.

It is worth mentioning that Samsung had tried to get rid of this hardware feature in previous watches too but the decision was so bemoaned by users that it had to bring it back. The rotating bezel does not hamper the watch’s waterproofing or durability and it’s actually a very popular feature among users, so we don’t really understand why Samsung is trying to self-sabotage itself by going down that road.

According to rumors, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will sport OLED displays, Wear OS, GPS, IP rating, skin temperature measurement, and all the necessary tracking sensors. The watch will likely feature a big 580mAh battery. It is also reported that the watch 5 Pro will come with a titanium and sapphire build.

We’re still months away from the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 lineup. Samsung will likely unveil its latest Galaxy watches in August along with its brand new foldables.
