Update: July 25, 2022 (03:53 AM ET): We’ve updated this hub to include more apparent price listings spotted online. You can view the “What will the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 price be?” section for the updated info.

Original article: The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 successfully raised the bar for Wear OS devices. It even introduced (and monopolized) Wear OS 3, keeping Samsung ahead of the competition for months. However, the device is reaching the end of its fame as the spotlight turns to the next generation. Rumors and speculation suggest that the Galaxy Watch 5 is on its way, and might be bringing some big improvements.

Will there be a Galaxy Watch 5?

In this twilight zone of a year, it might seem like yesterday that Samsung’s current flagship smartwatch arrived. In reality, the launch of the next generation is already around the corner. A series of leaks have essentially confirmed that a Galaxy Watch 5 is in the works. The real question is how the company will follow up the success of its previous generation and what innovations Samsung has planned to stay ahead of the curve.

When will the Galaxy Watch 5 release date be?

Previous generations of the Galaxy Watch line have arrived each year in August. In 2019, we got the Galaxy Watch Active 2  rather than a direct successor to the Galaxy Watch. However, in 2020 Samsung returned to its August launch date with the Galaxy Watch 3.

We expect the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 to follow suit and arrive sometime this upcoming August. That means the device is likely only a few months away and, more importantly, will beat the highly anticipated Pixel Watch to users’ wrists.

For what it’s worth, leaker Jon Prosser claimed that the watches would be revealed on August 10. He further asserted that the devices would go on sale from August 26.
