TL;DR<\/p>\n
Codenames that appear to reference this year\u2019s Galaxy Watch 9 family have surfaced in a Google Wear OS app.
\nIt\u2019s likely they represent the Galaxy Watch 9, Watch 9 Classic, and a new Watch Ultra 2.
\nWe also see a possible hint that Pixel Watch raise-to-talk could be expanding to Samsung\u2019s watches.<\/p>\n
With summer right around the corner, new Samsung Galaxy Watch<\/a> models will almost certainly be here soon \u2014 the biggest question is: which ones? Obviously, we\u2019re looking forward to a Galaxy Watch 9<\/a>, but what else? A new Ultra<\/a> model? Maybe another Classic? We\u2019ve already heard a few competing theories, and now we may be starting to get close to some answers, as we uncover new evidence in the form of some Galaxy Watch codenames.<\/p>\n Last year, Samsung brought us the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic<\/a>, alongside a minor Watch Ultra refresh. If you\u2019ll recall, the Watch 8 was in development under codename Fresh 8<\/a>, while the Watch 8 Classic was Wise 8. And even though it didn\u2019t get a new codename last year, the Watch Ultra still went by Project X2.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Looking through a recent Google Wear OS app update, we\u2019ve spotted what sure look like the next generation of Galaxy Watch codenames:<\/p>\n AssembleDebug \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t take much imagination to see that Fresh 9 looks like the Galaxy Watch 9, Wise 9 should be the Galaxy Watch 9 Classic, and Project V2 makes sense as a Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.<\/p>\n One interesting consideration is that we\u2019re seeing this in Google software, rather than in a Samsung app. It\u2019s also nice to find a hard-to-ignore Galaxy Watch 9 Classic reference like this, especially in light of a recent theory Sammy Fans<\/a> has been promoting, suggesting that Samsung\u2019s historic smartwatch release cadence might mean that the company would skip a new Classic model this year. At least based on this, we\u2019d bet the Watch 9 Classic still has a good chance of showing up.<\/p>\n Beyond those codenames, we\u2019ve also got some progress to share on new Galaxy Watch features.<\/p>\n Raise-to-talk<\/a> was one of our favorite new capabilities to debut with the Pixel Watch 4, but so far, it\u2019s remained a Pixel Watch exclusive. Now, this is hardly anything definitive, but the existing RttSettingsManagerPixelWatch setting we\u2019ve seen in Google code has now been joined by a new RttSettingsManager3pWearOs one. Labeling it \u201cWear OS\u201d rather than \u201cPixel Watch\u201d could easily imply broader support, and we could even see that \u201c3p\u201d meaning \u201cthird party.\u201d<\/p>\n For now, though, none of this is officially proof of anything, and we\u2019re really just taking it all in to help inform our expectations for what Samsung should be announcing in just another month or two. Most recently, that\u2019s been looking like a possible July 22 London event<\/a>, where we should also get to meet Samsung\u2019s latest foldables, including that new Wide model<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
