The render we saw yesterday had a brushed metal finish. It also didn't have a fluted or toothed bezel as expected. That design element is missing from this render as well, suggesting that Samsung might have done away with it.
The render shows that the Galaxy Sport colors will include black, teal-ish green and rose gold. The finish extends to the buckle as well with a matching strap. It doesn't betray much about the features of this new smartwatch but they will understandably be fitness-focused. The Galaxy Sport takes the baton from the Gear Sport, after all.
We see yet again that the rotating bezel appears to be missing from this smartwatch. Samsung fans have loved that design element. Not only did it look good but it was a breeze for navigating through the UI as well. The two buttons that we see on the right side may now do the bulk of the heavy lifting. Samsung will thus have to tweak the software as well to account for the lack of a rotating bezel.
Samsung hasn't confirmed when we can expect this wearable device to arrive. Some suggest that the company might unveil it on February 20 alongside the Galaxy S10. It will already have much to talk about at the event as the foldable phone is also set to be unveiled there. So this leaves the possibility that Samsung might unveil the Gear Sport at MWC 2019 in the last week of February.
