Samsung Galaxy Watch set for August 24 release alongside Galaxy Note 9
Samsung Gear Sport
Initial rumors surrounding the smartwatch, which was known as the Gear S4 at the time, claimed that a launch would take place alongside the Note 9 on August 9, although this was contradicted later on by rumor surrounding an IFA announcement. However, if the new information is accurate, it appears a reveal alongside the Galaxy Note 9 will be happening after all. Furthermore, sales are also set to coincide with those of Samsung’s next flagship smartphone, which means shipments will begin just over two weeks later on August 24. Also, it’s availability in two sizes is reconfirmed.
As of now, Samsung is yet to officially tease its next smartwatch offering but with the announcement now set to take place alongside the Galaxy Note 9, it appears the South Korean giant may be hoping to capitalize on the popularity of its flagship in order to promote its next wearable.
