A recent report by CNET Scott Stein seem to have unveiled Samsung’s upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch. In Scott’s report he states for a moment the Samsung Galaxy Watch was on Samsung’s website showing a listing of the upcoming smartwatch.
The listing showed a photo of a 42mm Rose Gold model with the listing number SM-R810NZDAXAR. Later in the day, the link connected to the website regarding the new Samsung Galaxy Watch was disconnected, and the page is now dead. The great news is that Scott took a screenshot showing a photo of the upcoming smartwatch (the above photo.)
