Samsung's next Galaxy smartwatch codename hints at Apple Watch beating update

We recently learnt that Samsung is working on a new smartwatch, likely to replace the Galaxy Watch, and now we have our second clue Now, thanks to a leak from Galaxy Club, we also know Samsung's next smartwatch is codenamed Noblesse Back to the watch, and this all makes us think Samsung is working on a classically designed timepiece to replace the two-year-old Galaxy Watch, instead of being a sporty successor to the newer Galaxy Watch Active 2.

It's an interesting move, and one that could see Samsung carve out a bit of a niche for itself, by aiming at fashion-conscious buyers, instead of the health and fitness crowd who buy the Apple Watch The codename could also lead to a watch with a higher price than Samsung's current wearables As a quick reminder, this is the codename being used internally at Samsung for an upcoming smartwatch with the model number SM-R840, which we recently reported on.

Given we only have a model number and code name to go on for now, we doubt the new watch will be revealed at Samsung's Unpacked event, which takes place on 11 February and is where we expect to see the new Galaxy S20 smartphone family, and new Galaxy Z Flip folding phone. . Source
