The LTE-enabled
Samsung Galaxy Watch is now available from Verizon in 42mm and 46mm sizes. The
42mm model is US$ 379.99 or US$ 15.83 a month over 24 months. You can even pay US$ 329.99 for the device, as long as you ink a two-year pact. The color options
include Rose Gold and Black. The 46mm version will set you back US$ 399.99, or you
can make 24 monthly payments of US$ 16.66. And if you want to sign a two-year
contract for the sake of old times, the watch is priced at US$ 349.99. The only
color option at this size is Silver.
The Galaxy Watch
carries a 1.2-inch (42mm) or 1.3-inch (46mm) OLED display with a 360p
resolution. An Exynos 9110 is under the hood, and the watch comes with 768MB of
RAM and 4GB of native storage. The battery capacity depends on which model you
have on your wrist. The 42mm variant sports a 270mAh battery, while the 46mm
version uses a 472mAh battery to keep the lights on. Sammy's home-grown Tizen
OS is pre-installed.
The Samsung Galaxy
Watch tracks your exercises, sleep, calorie intake and more. It reminds you to
stay hydrated, and with the LTE model you can make calls, send texts, use
Samsung Pay and stream music even without your smartphone nearby. The Samsung
Galaxy Watch will also track your heart rate. Turn the bezel to see the latest
sports scores or to view your playlists, and you can change the watch face
whenever you feel like it.
Purchase a Samsung
phone at the same time as the Galaxy Watch and you'll get a US$ 50 savings, and
Verizon will also give you US$ 10 off the first month of service.
