The code SamMobile found in the Galaxy Wearable app refers to a “galaxy_RTOS_watch,” which is reportedly called the “Galaxy Aero.”
Samsung already uses a customized version of FreeRTOS on its $60 Galaxy Fit 3 fitness tracker.
The fact that it might use the OS on a new watch suggests it will be similarly affordable.
All of those factors make a cheap wearable more appealing than a $380 Galaxy Watch 9 might be in the back half of 2026.
If Samsung plays its cards right, its new wearable could pull off the same trick.
