The Samsung Galaxy Watch4 unveiled last August is offered in multiple colors, but it also has special editions, including the Thom Browne Edition, Bespoke Edition, Maison Kitsune Edition, PXG Golf Edition, and Wooyoungmi Edition. Today, Samsung added one more to the list, dubbed Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Black Yak Edition.
Samsung partnered with South Korean
outdoor clothing brand Black Yak, which is where this limited edition Galaxy
Watch4 gets its name from. The smartwatch is aimed at mountaineers and supports
Black Yak's eco-friendly campaigns. The Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Black Yak Edition
comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes and features a special watch face that changes
color from red to green during lunchtime (12PM to 1PM) when disposable products
are consumed, serving as a reminder to the users to clean the disposable items.
This is associated with Black Yak's Green
Yak Campaign, which includes the PlustIC (portmanteau of Plus and Plastic)
campaign to recycle PET bottles and the Clean Mountain Campaign that promotes
plogging (picking up trash while jogging). Additionally, the Galaxy Watch4
Black Yak Edition features mountaineering and hiking modes, and you can even
track your route with GPS. Altitude information is provided as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Black Yak
Edition's 40mm version is priced at KRW 279,000 (US$ 220/€ 210) and the 44mm model
at KRW3 09,000 (US$ 245/€ 230). It will go on sale in South Korea starting June 15
through Samsung's official website, with the retail package including an
exclusive Black Yak strap, Black Yak tumbler bag, and a 40% discount coupon on
Black Yak products.
Samsung said the Galaxy Watch4 Black Yak
Edition is a product that pursues smart outdoor activities and sustainable
eco-friendly values, and it plans to collaborate with Black Yak in the future
on various projects, such as developing applications for outdoor activities.
