INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Samsung just unveiled its brand new smartwatch - the Galaxy Watch - alongside the Galaxy Note 9, but how does it compare to our favorite
smartwatch right nowThe Apple Watch 3 is almost a year old now, but it's still one of our favorite devices for your wrist
going to break down the specs, design, price and more that we know about both watches so far.Design and displayLet's kick off with the
design of the new Samsung Galaxy Watch
There are two different versions for you to choose from, with 46mm and 42mm options on offer.Each has a rotating bezel for you to interact
with the watch, which is something the Apple Watch doesn't offer
It's worth noting the Galaxy Watch is round too, unlike the Apple Watch 3 with its square design.The larger of the two watches only comes
in silver, while the 42mm comes in rose gold and black
You have a selection of different straps for each model, which you can read all about here.The Apple Watch 3 comes in two sizes too, but the
first version is smaller than the Galaxy Watch
You have the choice of 38mm or 42mm, which may suit those looking for a sleeker device.Image 1 of 2Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mmImage 2 of
2Apple Watch 3 42mmWith the Apple Watch you've got the choice of different materials including aluminum, stainless steel and ceramic, plus
you've got a huge choice of colors to wade through before you can find your perfect watch.The display on the larger Samsung Galaxy Watch is
a 1.3-inch AMOLED, while the smaller has a 1.2-inch screen
Both have a resolution of 360 x 360, which should look pretty sharp on your wrist.The 1.65-inch display on the larger Apple Watch 3 has
always felt like the most comfortable and easy to read size, while the display on the 38mm one is a little bit smaller to account for that
slightly more compact design.The Apple Watch does have that slightly larger display, but both watches offer enough room to interact with the
apps you want to play around with as well as reading your notifications.Fitness and featuresSamsung's fitness features are all here with
tracking for lots of different sports including yoga, cycling and much more
There's a wrist-based heart rate monitor, GPS built-in and it's designed to go in the pool to track your swimming too, with 5 ATM water
resistance.New features include a stress management tool that tracks your heart rate and gives you reminders to breath when your stress
level is higher than expected, plus it's now better at automatically tracking workouts when you start them too - able to recognize six
different activities.This is a similar level of spec to what you can do with the Apple Watch 3, although that device doesn't have that
Watch only works with iPhones
That's something that may make your mind up for you if you're an Android phone user.The Galaxy Watch comes running the latest version of
lots of app developers contributing to the platform, but at this time watchOS is a touch more useful and includes more apps.Inside the Apple
Watch 3 is the latest Apple S3 chipset, while the Galaxy Watch is powered by the Exynos 9110 dual-core 1.15GHz chipset.The Watch 3 and the
42mm Galaxy Watch have 768MB of RAM, but the 46mm Samsung device comes with a whole 1.5GB
We've yet to use the Exynos in a smartwatch, so we don't currently know how powerful it will be but we'd obviously expect the version with
more RAM to be a touch speedier.For battery, the Apple Watch 3 has a 279mAh cell that we find lasts around a day on average
The larger Samsung Galaxy Watch has a 472mAh cell inside, which is huge for a smartwatch
Samsung believes this can last seven days from a single charge.If that's true, that'll be a gamechanger in the smartwatch space as many
fully-fledged devices like this only last a day or two from one charge
The smaller Galaxy Watch only has a 270mAh cell, so it's more likely to last around two days or so.PriceWe don't currently have any
pricing details for the Samsung Galaxy Watch
The larger LTE version of the watch is sure to cost more than the Bluetooth only variant, but we don't currently know what that price
It's also worth noting that price will likely drop soon if the company announces the Apple Watch 4 in September, as it's possible it
might do.TakeawayWhich one of these watches you buy may ultimately come down to the price and the type of phone you own, but the Samsung
the corner and could offer some brand new features neither of these watches have.We won't know until our full review, but the Samsung Galaxy
will be able to run for seven days in full smartwatch mode, but if it can we'll be very impressed and it may topple the Apple Watch 3 as our
favorite device - as long as it packs some other genuine improvements.zDSNDVV9AqU4CHyVzSo5NJ.jpg#
