While the Galaxy Note 9 and its four-figure price tag (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3296457/android/samsung-galaxy-note-9-hands-on.html) got all of the attention at Samsung’s Unpacked event, it wasn’t the only new product it unveiled. There’s also a new smartwatch with a new name: the Galaxy Watch. But while this is the first Samsung wearable to carry the Galaxy name, it still runs the Tizen OS rather than Google’s Wear OS.
And it hasn’t gotten much smaller either. Like the Gear S3 Frontier (https://pcworld.com/article/3151517/android/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-a-big-bold-move-to-establish-smartwatch-dominance.html), which was last updated in 2016, the Galaxy Watch comes in two different sizes, 42mm and 46mm, with a bezel all around. Samsung has kept the circular frame as well, so no one will mistake it for an Apple Watch despite a new Rose Gold color option.
