Leaks suggest Samsung is planning a smartwatch extravaganza at its upcoming Unpacked event on July 10. We can expect to see not just the standard Galaxy Watch7, but also a high-end Ultra model and a more budget-friendly FE version.

Adding fuel to the fire, a support page briefly appeared on Samsung's UK and Latin American websites listing a smartwatch with the model number SM-R861.

Previous rumours suggest this affordable option will borrow design elements from the Galaxy Watch4 series, including the popular rotating bezel.
