Wellness takes centre stage with Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is one of the new wearables the company launched at its recent online Unpacked event. The smartwatch is now available at Samsung.com, Samsung Experience Stores and across major retail partners with a starting price of $549.99 for the 41mm model and $599.99 for the 45mm variant. Those who purchase the Galaxy Watch 3 until September 4 get a free Duo Wireless Charger Pad for free.

Samsung packs new features like a heart rate monitor, fall detection, integrated running coach, and access to a "fitness studio" via Samsung Health. The company also incorporates a new sleep score feature and insights into the Galaxy Watch 3. And it's now easy to set automatic reply options and view emoticons right from your wrist.

With its rotating bezel, you can control music playing on your phone right from the Galaxy Watch 3 and use hand gestures to answer calls or mute alarms and calls. The smartwatch is built with stainless steel and "high-quality" leather, so it doesn't lose the timeless timepiece look. Samsung boasts that the Galaxy Watch 3 is 14% thinner, 8% smaller, and 15% lighter than the previous generation's 45mm model.

The Galaxy Watch 3's Super AMOLED, full-colour display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass DX. It runs on an Exynos 9110 dual-core processor, Tizen-based Wearable OS 5.5, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB internal storage. The 41mm model has a 247mAh battery, while the 45mm model has a 340mAh battery. Both support WPC-based wireless charging. And both are compatible with Android 5.0 devices with 1.5GB RAM or higher and iOS 9.0 or higher.
