Samsung Galaxy Watch official at last
There have been leaks and rumors but now the latest smartwatch from Samsung is official.
Samsung Galaxy Watch
Yes, it's not a Gear, it's the first smartwatch with the word Galaxy in it since the company's first timepiece, which for good measure had both words in the name, the Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch.
It's the new flagship
If you were waiting for the Gear S4, this is what you're getting instead. So it's not a fitness tracker, it's a full-on all-round smartwatch. It looks like an evolution of the Gear S3.
Size is everything
Well, sizes, in fact. It comes in two versions, one with a 42mm case, one a little bigger, 46mm. For comparison, Apple Watch sizes are 38mm and 42mm. The screen measures 1.2 inches or 1.3 inches on the larger model. Weights are 49g and 63g respectively. For comparison, the lightest 38mm Apple Watch Series 3 with an aluminum case is 26.7g and the heaviest 42mm ceramic model is 46.4g.
