They've been leaking left, right and centre, and now we know the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Fit, Galaxy Fit e and Galaxy Buds are coming because Samsung has revealed them all in its own companion smartphone app.

In the latest version of the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app, the device list now includes those four new wearables with names we've seen reported in previous rumours.

Wareable verdict: Samsung Galaxy Watch Active review

Those alleged Galaxy Watch Active renders have now been firmed up and match the image included in the Galaxy Wearable app, shown above. It also reveals that it will be a 40mm sized watch, which means it'll be smaller than the Gear Sport and the smallest available Galaxy Watch.

Next up is the Galaxy Fit and Fit e, which appears to be the successor to the Gear Fit2 and Fit2 Pro. This is the first time we've seen an image of the tracker, which features a watch face we've seen crop up on Galaxy Watch Active renders. There's still no indication on what that 'e' stands for, but this could well signify an e-sim model of the new Samsung tracker.

Last up are the Galaxy Buds, a new hearable we've seen plenty of details leak over, including the device turning up in promotional materials from Samsung.

So, with the timing of these new Samsung wearables landing in the company's own app, it feels like our biggest indication yet that these will all be revealed at Samsung's Unpacked event on 20 February. We'll be there, so you can expect us to get our hands all over that new smartwatch, fitness tracker and hearable.
