Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 lineup is expected to go official in July alongside the next generation of Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip smartphones. Most recently, alleged renders of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic smartwatch have leaked online showing its design and specifications. The upcoming wearable is seen featuring a rotating bezel around the circular display. The renders suggest a metal body and thick bezels for the wearable. Samsung ditched the physical rotating bezel with the launch of the Galaxy Watch 5 series and replaced the hardware feature with a digital bezel.

Known tipster Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks), in collaboration with MySmartPrice, has leaked the renders of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The design renders show the wearable in a black shade with rotating bezels. This would allow users to rotate the bezel to navigate through the widgets and apps. The design of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is identical to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.

Samsung dropped the physical rotating bezel from its wearables with the launch of the Galaxy Watch 5 series last year. Instead, the South Korean brand has equipped a digital bezel. The reason for the return of the rotating bezel is unknown.
