TL;DR Samsung’s next launch event is on July 9, and we expect to see the Galaxy Watch 8 series announced.

In just a little over a week, media will descend upon New York City to formally meet the company’s latest hardware, and beyond the spotlight-stealing lineup of new foldable phones, we’re also expecting to see the Galaxy Watch 8 series make its debut.

For all the watch faces we’ve found today, we have a name to go along with them, as well as a wider banner image showing off some of the face options available.
