Samsung Galaxy Watch 2 takes on the Apple Watch 6 with a sleek new design

Samsung's Galaxy Watch 2 is on the way, and if the latest leaks are true, it could come in a finish comparable to the premium Apple Watch models

According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Watch 2 will be available in traditional aluminum and stainless steel, as well as a titanium option Samsung appears to be taking a cue from the Apple Watch 5, which introduced titanium as a high-end edition last year

As SamMobile points out, this will be the first time Samsung will sell a titanium smartwatch Titanium is an attractive, lightweight, and durable material, although the discoloration of the wearable requires pre-treatment

It is also expensive If Samsung really gets the memo from Apple, it will raise the price of the Galaxy Watch 2 titanium model The aluminum Apple Watch Series 5 starts at $399, while the top-of-the-line titanium version is $799

In our review of Samsung's Galaxy Watch, we liked the stainless steel look of the first model, but the titanium version may appeal to those seeking a fancier Tizen smartwatch

The original Galaxy Watch was once one of the best smartwatches we tested, and the new version, with its sleek design and enhanced specs, could certainly come in for Apple's smartwatch crown

Leaked information about the Galaxy Watch 2 has not revealed much else about the upcoming wearable, aside from a longer battery life and 8GB of onboard storage

It is possible that the Galaxy Watch 2 will debut at the next Samsung Unpacked keynote along with the Galaxy Note 20 If so, it would be in line for a smartwatch showdown with the Apple Watch 6, which is scheduled to launch this fall
