Samsung’s Titanium Galaxy Watch 3 now has a price and a release date – it will start at $ 599.99 and launch on October 2.
Functionally, the new titanium model is identical to the stainless steel model that Samsung released earlier this year, with the exception of the case material (obviously) and the inclusion of a matching titanium bracelet instead of a stainless steel strap. leather. Whether it’s worth the $ 170 price premium over the comparable $ 429 stainless steel model will largely depend on your watchmaking preferences.
For starters, Samsung is planning to release just one variant of the 45mm Bluetooth-only watch in a single “mystical black” color scheme. You won’t be able to get the most premium material in the smaller 41mm size or with LTE, at least for now.
Samsung isn’t the only one offering a titanium smartwatch – Apple introduced a premium titanium variant of its Apple Watch Series 5 last year, though it started at a much more expensive $ 799 price tag.
The Galaxy Watch 3 was one of Samsung’s best smartwatches, featuring the return of the rotating bezel for navigation and a large screen, though it is still held back by a limited selection of apps and the company’s much-derided Bixby assistant.
