Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event is still days away, though fresh leaks have already started making headlines. A new report has leaked several watch faces expected to arrive with One UI 9 Watch. It offers a mix of classic styling, information-rich layouts, and travel-focused features. Most of these designs are also expected to reach older Galaxy Watches that qualify for the software update.

New Designs Focus on Different User Needs

The leaked collection includes a watch face called Analog Balance, which is expected to serve as the default design for the Galaxy Watch 9. It follows a traditional analog layout with a clean interface that keeps the display uncluttered. Users can still add widgets for information such as battery level, weather, step count, and Samsung's Energy Score. The leaked version uses a dark theme, while customization options are expected to include different colours and layouts.

For users who prefer digital displays, Dual Digit takes a different direction. Large numbers dominate the screen, making the time easier to read from a distance. A vertical colour bar tracks the passing seconds, adding a visual element without reducing readability. The layout also supports shortcuts and widgets for quick access to frequently used features.

Information Takes Centre Stage

The leak also points to Radial Dashboard, a watch face designed for users who prefer more information on a single screen. Circular widgets surround the digital clock, allowing quick access to workout progress, battery level, weather updates, navigation, compass directions, and health data. The layout reduces the need to switch between apps during daily use.

Samsung is also stated to be preparing a Dual Clock Info Board, a watch face aimed at travellers and users working across multiple time zones. It displays two clocks simultaneously while leaving space for additional widgets. The design could appeal to users who regularly communicate with family, friends, or colleagues in different countries.

Ultra-Exclusive Feature May Return

Another watch face mentioned in the leak is Ultra Performance, which is reportedly being developed for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. The design follows Samsung's rugged Ultra identity and displays more information at once than the standard layouts. According to the report, this watch face could stay exclusive to the Ultra model at launch.

The leak also suggests the return of Low Light Mode, which automatically changes the display to a red colour scheme in dark surroundings. The feature is intended to make the screen easier on the eyes while helping preserve night vision in low-light conditions.

The leaked watch faces are expected to debut alongside One UI 9 Watch during Galaxy Unpacked. While Samsung has yet to confirm the designs, the report indicates that most of them will also reach eligible older Galaxy Watch models through the upcoming software update. The Ultra Performance watch face appears to be the only exception for now.
