The discovery of codenames for upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch models indicates that a new Galaxy Watch 9 series, including a Classic and possibly an Ultra 2, is on the horizon. This signals Samsung's continued innovation in wearable technology, potentially offering consumers more advanced features and options. The integration hints, such as expanded Pixel Watch functionalities, also suggest increased interoperability within the ecosystem, benefiting both users and the broader tech industry.

TL;DR Codenames that appear to reference this year’s Galaxy Watch 9 family have surfaced in a Google Wear OS app.

It’s likely they represent the Galaxy Watch 9, Watch 9 Classic, and a new Watch Ultra 2.

We also see a possible hint that Pixel Watch raise-to-talk could be expanding to Samsung’s watches.

With summer right around the corner, new Samsung Galaxy Watch models will almost certainly be here soon — the biggest question is: which ones? Obviously, we’re looking forward to a Galaxy Watch 9, but what else? A new Ultra model? Maybe another Classic? We’ve 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.

Last year, Samsung brought us the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, alongside a minor Watch Ultra refresh. If you’ll recall, the Watch 8 was in development under codename Fresh 8, while the Watch 8 Classic was Wise 8. And even though it didn’t get a new codename last year, the Watch Ultra still went by Project X2.
