Earlier this month alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Samsung also took the wraps off their latest smartwatch in the form of the Galaxy Watch. The watch would feature support for cellular connectivity and for T-Mobile customers who were interested in it, it seems that Samsung has started accepting pre-orders for it.
The 42mm version of the watch is priced at $380 while the larger 46mm model will retail for $400. For those learning about the Galaxy Watch for the first time, this is Samsung’s latest smartwatch which under the hood will pack the Exynos 9110 processor clocked at 1.15GHz. There will be 1.5GB of RAM, 4GB of storage, a heart rate sensor, IP68 certification which makes it water and dust resistant, and NFC.
Unfortunately it seems that the rumors were wrong about the watch’s platform of choice. Due to the fact that the watch uses the Galaxy branding, it was speculated that the Galaxy Watch could actually end up using Google’s Wear OS platform. Instead Samsung has decided to keep using Tizen instead, where the watch will come with Tizen 4.0.
As for battery life, Samsung promises all day battery life where the 46mm model will pack a 472mAh battery while the smaller 42mm model will be packing a 270mAh battery.
