The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is expected in 2022, and we have a wish list for it.
With the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, Samsung launched two of the best and in some ways most disappointing wearables of 2021. These devices promised a whole new operating system, melding the best of Tizen with Wear OS, all powered by a speedy new chipset, and with a host of new health tracking skills. And they largely delivered on that, but with a number of caveats and issues. So for the inevitable Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (and the possible Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Classic) we want a number of changes, the biggest of which we’ve highlighted below. We’ve also taken a look at when Samsung’s next flagship wearable is likely to launch, how much it might cost, and we’ve even collected some early rumors about it. As soon as more leaks emerge we’ll add them to this article too, so this will remain the definitive source of Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 information ahead of its launch. A leaked release schedule obtained by South Korean site The Elec states that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will land sometime in the second half of 2022, though that’s hardly surprising given that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 range landed in August of 2021. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 landed in August of 2020, so August of 2022 is our best guess for when we’ll see the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. There’s no news on what it might cost just yet, but the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 starts at $249.99 / £249 / AU$399 (rising in price for a larger size or LTE connectivity), while the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic begins at $349 / £349 / $549, so we might see similar pricing for the next model.
