SamMobile have revealed a lot of details about Samsung’s upcoming SmartWatch, which is codenamed as Project Orbis, but the most important bit was about its form factor. They've revealed in the past that Orbis would feature a circular display, unlike any other SmartWatch from the company, and Samsung seems to have indirectly confirmed it in its official blog. Samsung has announced that it will release an SDK for the company’s next-generation SmartWatch even before the official unveiling of the product, which would be the first time for the company. In the accompanying image, you can see a teaser image of the SmartWatch with a circular display.
