Samsung is working on a new smartwatch that will include the features of a fitness band, reports suggest.
The new smartwatch, a successor to the firm's Gear S3, will combine the features of the Gear S3 with Samsung's Gear Fit 2 wearable.
It is designed to be something you wear all day 'from work to the gym' and will be fully waterproof, with a smaller body and strap to improve comfort.
Details of the new device were accidentally revealed in an email survey sent by Samsung to members of its SmartLab Plus programme.

SmartLab is a consumer engagement scheme designed to collect customer comments on upcoming products.
'Samsung needs your opinion on some taglines that are being considered for when promoting the below product,' Samsung wrote in the email.
'The new product concept takes the best bits from Gear S3 and Gear Fit 2 in the form of a smartwatch (rather than an activity tracker).'
The new smartwatch will come with a smaller body and thinner straps to provide 'maximum comfort'.
The watch straps will be replaceable, allowing customers to personalise their look much like users of rival wearables Fitbit or the Apple Watch.
The new device is also expected to be fully waterproof, meaning customers can use it to track swimming performance.
'The product offers great peace of mind withstanding water to the point where it is swim proof, allowing all forms of fitness tracking,' Samsung wrote.
'The smart watch offers all-round fitness for everyone from beginners to experts; activity tracking, weight/calorie management, active sports and coaching.

'It features a revised user interface for improved widgets with glanceable information including progress towards your goals.'
In the email, Samsung wrote that the device will also give customers smart inactivity alerts, reminding you to stay active when you're on a flight, or telling you to take a break while driving.
Samsung closed the email with: 'Whilst having a wide-range of fitness features, the product is designed to be something you wear all day from work to the gym.'
MailOnline has contacted Samsung for comment.
