Unlike smartphones, wearables don’t tend to get annual upgrades to their processing power because they don't really need one. The demands of your average smartwatch are much more limited than smartphones, after all.
As such, Samsung tends to upgrade the processor after two or more generations. The Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Galaxy Watch 3 all used the Exynos 9110, before the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 took on the Exynos W920. Last year the Galaxy Watch 6 was upgraded to the Exynos W930, and we were fully expecting the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 to pack the same processor.
