Samsung Just Accidentally Leaked Its New Galaxy Watch - And What It Means

Samsung Galaxy Watch is all but confirmed as the name of the company's latest smartwatch to take on the Apple Watch, Fitbit Ionic and others The confirmation? It comes from Samsung itself on its own website! This was first reported by Scott Stein at CNET Samsung's commitment to smart watches has been steady and solid from its initial Samsung Galaxy Gear in 2013 through several iterations with long, rectangular watch faces to the most recent models with circular displays.

The first smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear, used Android but then switched to Samsung's own Tizen OS and all Samsung watches since have used the word Gear and the operating system Tizen Surely it can't be a coincidence that Samsung is moving back to using Galaxy in the name and not Gear? There have been rumors that a Wear OS watch was coming The Samsung website pictured the new watch alongside the current Gear S2 - the listing has now been completely removed from the site - and it looks elegant and classy in rose gold.

All hints point to Samsung announcing its latest wearable alongside the new Galaxy Note phone, as happened with last year when the gear Sport and Gear Fit2 Pro were revealed with the Note 8 Since the Galaxy Note 9 is to be announced in a big event in New York on August 9, I'd bet that's when the new watch will be outed, too. .
