Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Release Date & Price

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 3 alongside the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra during the virtual Unpacked event on August 6 this year.

In terms of pricing, consumers will have to pay Rs 38,990 for the 45mm LTE version or Rs 34,990 for the 41mm version. Meanwhile, the non-LTE variants are cheaper at RS 32,990 for the 45mm version and RS 29,990 for the 41mm version.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Design & Display

Let's start our Galaxy Watch 3 review with design. The design of the Galaxy Watch 3 is more refined, compare to that of the original Galaxy Watch. It is slimmer and lighter. So wearing it on the wrist will be more comfortable.

There are two sizes to choose from. The smaller option is a 41mm and the larger option is a 45mm. Both models share the same core features with only some small differences in terms of the specs.

With the 41mm version, you have a 1.2-inch display while the 45mm has a 1.3-inch display. Both displays are Super AMOLED ones. Samsung uses Corning Gorilla Glass DX to protect the device. It is bright, clear, and easy to read. Even when you exercise outdoors, you won’t have any problem reading the screen.

The Galaxy Watch 3, while having the same shape and size, is 14% than the original. Samsung still keeps the rotating bezel but in a less chunky style.

Both variants come in stainless steel. The 45mm is slightly heavier at 53.8g while the 41mm is 48.2g. Samsung also offers an extra-light titanium version but only in the 45mm size with a weight of 43g.

The watch is comfortable to wear during workouts as well as casually. The 45mm comes in Mystic Black and Mystic Silver. And the 41mm version comes in Mystic Bronze and Mystic Silver. All 22mm straps are compatible with the 45mm version while the 41mm device uses the 20mm straps.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Performance & Software

It is disappointing that Galaxy Watch 3 uses the same chipset that used on the original Galaxy Watch.

Thanks to the 1GB RAM, apps loaded quickly. For smartwatches, processing power isn’t a major thing normally as they have fewer things to run.

All versions have 8GB of storage. The OS as well as the pre-loaded apps take up 3.59GB. So you will have around 4GB for other apps and music.

The Galaxy Watch 3 runs Samsung’s Tizen software. Even though Samsung’s ecosystem doesn’t support as many apps from third-party companies as watch OS, Tizen is still accomplished software.

Navigating around is easy thanks to the watch’s rotating bezel. You can tap or swipe with your finger too.

The Galaxy Watch 3 works with Android and iOS devices. Some elements are optimized for Android devices only. But overall, it still works with iPhones.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Fitness

This is the smartwatch’s key component. The Galaxy Watch 3 tracks seven activities including walking, running, cycling, swimming, rowing, dynamic workouts, and elliptical workouts.

The voice assistant of the device is OK. But it doesn’t always work. The Watch 3 also has stress tracking with heart rate monitoring and breathing exercise suggestion.

There is a brand new feature here which is fall detection, similar to what we have seen on the Apple Watch 4 and 5. The smartwatch also reads VO2 Max, calculating the amount of oxygen that your body takes in when exercising.

There is blood pressure monitoring and an electrocardiogram as well.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Battery

While the original Galaxy Watch has a 472mAh battery, the Watch 3 only sports a 340mAh battery. And with this, the smartwatch can last you two to three days but only with general usage. If you exercise a lot, use a heart rate monitor and GPS, the battery life of the device will decline to only about a day and a half. That is all the information that you need to know about the device, from Galaxy Watch 3 price, release date, to its specs.
