Renders of Samsung’s upcoming Ultra smartwatch have been appearing for weeks, and the latest batch offers one of the clearest looks yet. These new images help settle several lingering questions about design while confirming a number of rumored specifications and stylistic changes.
Renowned leaker Evan Blass recently published a fresh set of Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 renders on his Substack. The photos depict the watch in a Titanium Gray finish and show a circular display set inside a squircle-shaped case. Overall, the device retains the rugged aesthetic of the original Ultra while integrating a few notable refinements.

One immediately visible change is the bezel: unlike the original Galaxy Watch Ultra, the new render shows hour markings from 1 to 12 around the bezel. Earlier leaks suggested Samsung might slim the bezels, but when compared side-by-side with the first Ultra, the overall case proportions look quite similar. The numbered bezel is the most distinctive update. The wristband has also been simplified. Samsung appears to have preserved the dual-buckle fastening but removed the previously ridged texture for a cleaner, more understated strap design.
Turning the watch over reveals the heart-rate sensor and the expected array of health-tracking sensors. The renders also show dual speaker vents along the left edge of the case, which suggests continued emphasis on audio features alongside health and fitness functionality.
What the Renders Confirm
Several hardware details that have circulated in rumors align with these images. Reports indicate Samsung will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite platform in the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, paired with 2GB of RAM and a significantly larger battery — around 800mAh — compared with the 590mAh cell inside the original Ultra. If accurate, that battery increase could meaningfully extend real-world battery life. The new chipset also opens the door for upgraded wireless features such as Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0, and UWB support, although final connectivity options will depend on Samsung’s final configuration.
This generation marks a change in Samsung’s lineup strategy. Sources suggest the company is skipping a separate Classic model for 2026, positioning the Ultra 2 as the only model that borrows the Classic’s traditional rotating-bezel styling—complete with numeric markings. At this stage it remains unclear whether the numbered bezel in the renders represents a functional rotating bezel or a fixed decorative ring that mimics the Classic look.
Current leaks point to a possible July launch for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, likely coinciding with the Galaxy Watch 9 and a new group of foldable phones. Given the pattern of high-profile leaks ahead of Samsung events, these renders probably won’t be the final images we see before the official announcement. Still, they provide a useful preview of what Samsung appears to be prioritizing: refined styling, improved battery capacity, and updated internals powered by Qualcomm’s latest wearable chipset.
