Samsung Developing RTOS Smartwatch Codenamed Galaxy Aero — Samsung is working on an RTOS-based smartwatch codenamed Galaxy Aero. Positioned between Galaxy Fit and Watch FE, it promises long battery life.

Samsung is developing a new smartwatch that will not use Wear OS, according to recent reports.

References to this smartwatch have appeared in the Galaxy Wearable app's code, where it is described as a watch with a screen.

Device Features and Software

The device is likely to include the standard sensors found in most smartwatches, such as heart rate and activity tracking.
