New images of Samsung’s yet to be announced Galaxy Watch 3 have leaked online, giving us our first look at the company’s upcoming wearable. The images appeared on South Korea’s NRRA certification website, where they were spotted by MySmartPrice. Lovers of the old 2018 design with a physical rotating bezel will be happy that it is back. This was a feature missing from last year’s Galaxy Watch Active 2, and two buttons on the right of the device.

The Galaxy Watch 3 is will be Samsung’s follow-up to last year’s Galaxy Watch Active 2, I won this watch and I can indeed say its one of the best smartwatch to buy if you’ve got an Android phone.
The images have several plethora of details that have emerged about the watch. First, we learned that it would be called the Galaxy Watch 3 rather than the Watch 2 thanks to a listing from a Thai regulator, and similar listings from the FCC suggests that there’ll be both LTE and Wi-Fi versions of the watch and that it will come in two sizes — 45mm and 41mm, reportedly corresponding to 1.4 and 1.2-inch displays.
When it comes to materials, the Galaxy Watch 3 is expected to be available with a stainless steel case (though there may also be a titanium model), GPS, and includes a 5ATM rating making it water resistant at a depth of 50 meters for up to 10 minutes a time. SamMobile reports that the watch will also have heart rate and blood pressure monitors, and an ECG sensor. The internal specs of the Galaxy Watch 3 are 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and either a 247mAh or 340mAh battery, depending on the size.
The leaks today could imply that an official announcement isn’t far away. With Samsung expected to unveil the latest entry in its Note lineup in a few months’ time, it’s easy to speculate that we’ll see a wearable announced alongside it.
