Samsung last year ditched the Gear S moniker for the Galaxy Watch. Thus, the Samsung Galaxy Watch was launched alongside the Galaxy Note 9 in August 2018. The company also released a Golf Edition in September and then the Galaxy Watch Active was announced in February this year. The company will this year launch a successor and it is rumoured to go by the codename “Renaissance.”
The leaked codename was first reported by SamMobile who quoted an unnamed inside source to have provided the scanty information.

The Galaxy Watch 2 is expected to be launched around the same time the Galaxy Note 10 will be unveiled this August. However, not much has been heard concerning the device at present, apart from the codename “Renaissance”. The codename, however, points to something interesting in terms of new features and capabilities. There are suggestions that it could have also been chosen to fit in thematically with the Galaxy Note 10, which bears the codename “Da Vinci.” In this case, there is the possibility that Samsung is planning to expand cross-functionality between the smartwatch and smartphone. The Galaxy Watch was launched in 46mm and 42mm sizes. That may also be the case for its successor.
As we draw closer to the anticipated August launch for the Galaxy Watch 2, we’ll most likely get more information and leaks concerning the model as time goes on.
