After we found out that Samsung is enticing developers to adopt their SDK and develop apps for a round smartwatch, we started to wonder when Samsung’s round smartwatch would eventually be announced. If today’s latest rumour is anything to go by, this round smartwatch is going to be debuted alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, expected to be announced at IFA 2015, because that’s when it’s announced every year. This makes a lot of sense given that a smartwatch has been announced there the last few years with a Note device, so this rumour is logical at the very least.
However, as with all rumours, this one should be taken with a grain of salt. The device is expected to be called the Samsung Gear A, though it’s possible the naming might change between now and when it’s released. Samsung has been remarkably quiet following the release of the Apple Watch, as no doubt they consider the Apple device to be their biggest competition in the wearable space. We just hope Samsung makes their devices a little more open this time so that Android users without Samsung devices can use them too.
