Samsung’s next fitness watch is probably coming this month

Samsung is headed to IFA later this month, and it’s starting to sound like we’ll see some

new smartwatches there. Android Headlines spotted an FCC filing from Samsung showing off a Samsung Gear Sport, a thus-far nonexistent smartwatch or fitness device of some kind. Given that it’s passing through the FCC right now, the device is probably almost ready to be released. Samsung used its IFA presentation to introduce a new generation of Gear smartwatches this time last year, so it makes sense that we’re seeing hints of that happening again this year, too. LIKE APPLE, TURNING SMARTWATCHES’ FOCUS TO FITNESS All we really know so far is that the Gear Sport supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and probably runs Tizen, given the lack of Galaxy branding. It’s not clear if it’ll take the shape of a smartwatch or be closer to a long fitness tracker, but the most recent Gear devices have all had identical round shapes. The last Gear-branded fitness band was released just over a year ago.                                                                                                            https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/8/11/16131028/samsung-gear-sport-fitness-watch-leak
