Delivering the LTE connectivity, wellness
capabilities and design to match your lifestyle

Galaxy Watch, a premium, powerful smartwatch for those who want to
do it all—and look good while doing it. Its long-lasting battery
and LTE connectivity gives consumers a true standalone experience1.
With advanced wellness features and fitness tracking, it helps you
achieve your health goals. And with Samsung’s signature rotating
bezel and more robust lineup of style options including three new
watch color finishes in Silver, Midnight Black and Rose Gold, and
new watch band colors, you get a smartwatch that looks like a
traditional timepiece and is intuitive to use.

“At Samsung, we have a long history of providing consumers with
choice, while maintaining innovation within our products, and we
are excited to continue the proud heritage of our Galaxy line with
our wearables,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile
Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. “The new Galaxy Watch
was designed for all lifestyles to help meet consumer needs, such
as more efficient battery life to stay connected longer, and better
wellness tracking to help users maintain their goals – we are
delivering them with connected experiences, all at the touch of a
wrist.”
Connected Health
Everyone has different health, wellness, and fitness goals; no
matter what they are, Galaxy Watch helps you meet them. With a new
stress management tracker2, Galaxy Watch tracks your heart rate,
and provides breathing exercises to help users stay focused. In
addition, the Galaxy Watch’s advanced sleep tracking3 monitors all
levels of sleep, including REM cycles, to help users get the rest
they need to take on their day.
The Galaxy Watch’s advanced fitness tracking features keep you
motivated, and on track. It automatically tracks six of the most
popular exercises—walking, running, cycling, elliptical, training,
rowing, and dynamic workouts—and features 21 new indoor exercises
from a selection of 39 activities. And because balanced nutrition
is as important as exercise, the Galaxy Watch is designed to help
users track food and water intake. Input your meals and get
personalized alerts from Samsung Health, or use Bixby on your
Galaxy device to automatically count calories, and get a
personalized summary on your Galaxy Watch.
Personalization to Match Any Lifestyle
A watch is the classic fashion accessory, and the Galaxy Watch
lets users express their own unique style. It offers more sizes and
styles with a 46mm version in Silver, as well as a 42mm option in
Midnight Black and Rose Gold. Users can further customize with a
selection of watch faces and watch band options available on
Samsung.com. The Galaxy Watch is designed with Samsung’s signature,
circular rotating bezels while embracing the digital look with
Always On Display, in addition to improved usability —making it
easier to get the most out of the device, with the look of a
traditional timepiece. And the Galaxy Watch is ready to go where
you go. It is certified military-level durability4 with Corning®
Gorilla® Glass DX+ and 5 ATM5 water resistance, so it can go from
the swimming pool to the shower without leaving your wrist.
Stay Connected – No Matter Where Your Day Takes You
The Galaxy Watch is designed with your active lifestyle in mind
and has an improved battery life that gets days of power on a
single charge6—as well as low-energy architecture, so users can
recharge on their schedule, not their watches. And with LTE
connectivity, Samsung Galaxy Watch users can enjoy a true
standalone experience. They can answer calls, respond to text
messages, use GPS mapping, stream music, and more, all from their
wrist, and all without a smartphone in their pocket. Users can also
start and end their day with morning and evening briefings to help
stay on top of reminders, weather and their latest schedule.
Experience the Best of Samsung’s Galaxy Ecosystem
The Galaxy Watch is more than a smartwatch, it’s part of the
Galaxy Ecosystem. Users can enjoy a seamless experience with
Samsung Health, Samsung Pay7, Bixby, SmartThings and select
third-party partnerships such as Spotify and Under Armour. Easily
access and control your IoT compatible devices on the Galaxy Watch
with SmartThings—turn on the lights in the morning or adjust the
temperature before bed. Samsung makes music and multimedia control
even easier on the Galaxy Watch with Spotify, allowing users to
listen to songs offline or without a smartphone8. It’s also easy to
keep information secure thanks to Samsung Knox, and unlock PCs or
tablets using Samsung Flow.

available for $329.99, and the 46mm version will be available
