The advent of a new year brings along a swarm of excitement in the tech world. For tech enthusiasts specifically focused on wearables like smartwatches, 2024 promises a remarkable lineup of devices. Matching up well with the much-awaited smartphones of the year, there will be a variety of smartwatches to pick from.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is most likely to incorporate a higher Series Pro model. The probability of this stems from Samsung's trend of alternating Classic and Pro series for its premium watch segment. Given that the last year was lined up with Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, this year is likely to see the introduction of Galaxy Watch 7 Pro. The Pro model's unique features like super long battery life, high durability and advanced features for rigorous outdoor activities distinguish it from the Classic series.

Amongst the expected upgrades in Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is a 3nm chipset, a significant step up from the 5nm Exynos W930 in previous models. This enhancement fluidly translates into a power increment along with an extended battery life. Furthermore, the smartwatch is rumored to switch to microLED displays from the prevalent AMOLED. The anticipated launch for Galaxy Watch 7 is August 2024, and it wouldn't be surprising to see features like blood pressure monitoring making their way into this model.

OnePlus is ready to compensate for their unsatisfactory first shot at a smartwatch with OnePlus Watch 2. It teases a unique design amalgamating a round dial with a Casio-like flattened right edge. It is also equipped with a 1.43-inch OLED display and possibly runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip and Wear OS 4.

Apple Watch Series 10 might be groundbreaking as it aligns with Apple Watch's 10th anniversary. Predictions encompass a revamping design making the watch slimmer complemented by an innovative strap attachment mechanism. Additionally, it may debut new sensors for blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection.

Affordability seekers can anticipate the launch of Apple Watch SE 3. This budget version might resemble Apple Watch Series 8 in size and incorporate S9 chip from Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Users may also get the luxury of ECG since it first appeared on Apple Watch Series 4 in 2018.

Google's Pixel Watch 3, although early in the speculation stage, may have a unique round design and use Google's own Tensor chip. Optimistically, it would accommodate a broader user base by offering two different sizes and cut down on bezel thickness. However, the dependence on Fitbit Premium for optimal functionality is an aspect Google could consider tweaking.
