These are the specs revealed by the FCC documents for the next-gen Galaxy Watch. The filings include a sketch of the smartwatch's backside, confirming a circular design with a 45mm stainless steel case (this being the larger variant), Gorilla Glass DX, 5ATM and MIL-STD-810G, as well as GPS and LTE connectivity. Keep in mind that even though the FCC sketch mentions a stainless steel construction, the Galaxy Watch should also be released in aluminum and titanium, as reported exclusively by SamMobile last week.
The same sketch also suggests that Samsung's next smartwatch will simply be called the Galaxy Watch. However, the Galaxy Watch Active 2's backside doesn't feature the model's full name either (it's labeled as the Galaxy Watch), so there's no guarantee yet that the upcoming model won't be called the Galaxy Watch 2 or the Galaxy Watch Active 3. In fact, the back shown in the FCC sketch strongly resembles that of the Galaxy Watch Active 2. Whatever the case may be, we don't have a shot of the front dial yet, so it remains to be seen if the upcoming smartwatch will have a physical rotating bezel like the original Galaxy Watch or a virtual one akin to the Active models.
