TL;DR
- Galaxy Wearable app contains code references to exclusive “HMG Edition” versions of the Ultra Performance and Analog Balance watch faces for the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
- “HMG” likely refers to Hyundai Motor Group, aligning with a recent summit where Samsung gifted custom-packaged devices to attending Hyundai executives.
- Unlike commercial collaborations like Thom Browne, these custom faces and devices were built for corporate gifts and are unlikely to see a public commercial release.
Samsung is no stranger to rolling out special-edition variants of its devices, but a new code finding suggests the company has cooked up something that might be a bit too rare for ordinary consumers to get their hands on. Code within the Galaxy Wearable app reveals that Samsung has prepped exclusive “HMG Edition” watch faces for the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, likely to complement HMG Edition variants of those watches and other devices.
