Samsung has released the Galaxy Watch6 Classic Golf Edition smartwatch. The new Samsung wearable is a refreshed version of the Galaxy Watch6 Classic and comes with several design and software improvements. This is coming on the heels of Samsung opening pre-orders for the Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic Golf
Edition is being offered in Samsung’s home market of South Korea. The Golf
Edition of the Galaxy Watch6 Classic mirrors Samsung’s approach in previous
Galaxy Watch releases. The design changes provide distinguishing features
between the Golf Edition model and the standard model. Functionally, however,
the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic Golf Edition is identical to the regular
model.
The Golf Edition model relates only to the
Galaxy Watch6 Classic, while a similar model for the Galaxy Watch6 is lacking.
The new Golf Edition model of the Galaxy Watch6 Classic has a green ring around
its bezel. It also sports a green accent on its upper hardware button and comes
with black and green watch straps. The Golf Edition Galaxy Watch6 smartwatch
has the Smart Caddie app pre-installed. The Smart Caddie app is a
subscription-based service that costs US$ 6.99 per month.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Golf Edition
smartwatch is currently available in South Korea for KRW 436,620 (US$ 342). It is
unclear at this time whether the smartwatch will subsequently be available in
overseas markets. However, we expect it to follow the trajectory of the Galaxy
Watch5 series whose special edition model was available globally.
