Patent shows Samsung might be making a smartwatch with a rotating bezel

We all know that patent filings don’t necessarily mean we get to see the actual product. But it does give us a glimpse of what companies can offer us in the future. Samsung reportedly applied for a patent of a smartwatch with a rotating bezel. Based on the design, it has a ring you can control with a simple rotation and it shows tasks and to-do lists in a pie chart sort of way. Putting a rotating bezel on a smartwatch would definitely be something new. Hopefully, we get to see this applied to an actual product soon.
