Not only Google, Samsung is also updating a couple of his smartwatches, to be precise, these are former Samsung Galaxy Watch6 and Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic Punta models, who return to beat a shot a few months after the last time.

Indeed, at present it would be more appropriate to speak in the singular: the only report – testified by the following screenshot published by a Samsung Community user in Korea – is related to Solo Bluetooth version model Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic. The translation of the Changelog reveals that we are in the presence of the most classic of minor updates: they are listed only Stability and safety improvements.
