Obviously, we\u2019re looking forward to a Galaxy Watch 9, but what else? A new Ultra model? Maybe another Classic? We\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Samsung brought us the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, alongside a minor Watch Ultra refresh. If you\u2019ll recall, the Watch 8 was in development under codename <strong>Fresh 8<\/strong>, while the Watch 8 Classic was <strong>Wise 8<\/strong>. And even though it didn\u2019t get a new codename last year, the Watch Ultra still went by <strong>Project X2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Looking through a recent Google Wear OS app update, we\u2019ve spotted what sure look like the next generation of Galaxy Watch codenames:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"galaxy watch 9 codenames\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/galaxy-watch-9-codenames.jpg 1220w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/galaxy-watch-9-codenames-64w-19h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/galaxy-watch-9-codenames-1000w-301h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/galaxy-watch-9-codenames-675w-203h.jpg 675w\" alt=\"galaxy watch 9 codenames\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/galaxy-watch-9-codenames.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>AssembleDebug \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take much imagination to see that <strong>Fresh 9<\/strong> looks like the Galaxy Watch 9, <strong>Wise 9<\/strong> should be the Galaxy Watch 9 Classic, and <strong>Project V2<\/strong> makes sense as a Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting consideration is that we\u2019re seeing this in Google software, rather than in a Samsung app. It\u2019s also nice to find a hard-to-ignore Galaxy Watch 9 Classic reference like this, especially in light of a recent theory Sammy Fans has been promoting, suggesting that Samsung\u2019s historic smartwatch release cadence might mean that the company would skip a new Classic model this year. At least based on this, we\u2019d bet the Watch 9 Classic still has a good chance of showing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/galaxy-watch-9-codenames-3672348\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 codenames hint at what&#8217;s coming https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/galaxy-watch-9-codenames-3672348\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-28 17:04:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":258343,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-watch-face-selector-hero-2-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72,86],"class_list":["post-258342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258342"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258342"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258342\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":258344,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258342\/revisions\/258344"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
