Samsung recently listed three new model numbers of unknown devices on its website that reportedly belong to the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 series. It lines up with previous reports that an all-new model of the Galaxy Watch is in the pipeline.

The new model numbers were found in new support pages on different regional Samsung websites, as WinFuture's Roland Quandt first spotted. The devices identified in these pages are SM-R905F, SM-R915F, and SM-R925F. It is not surprising that the support pages only carry model numbers at the moment. But Quandt said these products would be later introduced as the 40mm Galaxy Watch 5, 44mm Galaxy Watch 5, and 45mm Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, respectively.

Rumors about a new high-end Samsung smartwatch have been circulating online in previous months. Well-known leaker Evan Blass recently shared a list of Galaxy Watch 5 models with their codenames and color options, which also suggested that the smartwatch series will have three variants.

Per the same list, the standard Galaxy Watch 5 model is codenamed "Heart" and will come in two sizes. The high-end model was also labeled "Galaxy Watch 5 Pro" in the list with the codename "Project X."

The earlier leak also suggested Samsung will use titanium for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Titanium, a metal known for being lighter and stronger than aluminum, is commonly offered as an exclusive feature for more expensive Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch variants.

Following these reports, Samsung fans looking forward to getting a new smartwatch with a titanium body may have to purchase the Galaxy Watch 5. It is worth noting that Apple is also expected to launch a "Pro" model of the Apple Watch is also rumored to be made of titanium.

Blass also shared clear renders of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (via 91Mobiles) last week, revealing their design. The latter's appearance was described to be "more formal," making it a likely successor to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. Details on the back of the watches also at Samsung using "sapphire crystal" for the displays of the upcoming watches.

The emergence of new Samsung support pages with model numbers possibly belonging to Galaxy Watch 5 models is not entirely surprising. The company is expected to have its next major Unpacked event in August, where the new smartwatches and foldable phones will likely be unveiled.
