The new Samsung Galaxy Watch is available for purchase in Italy in different sizes, colors and technical characteristics. The device fits into Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem, aiming for an increase in autonomy compared to the company’s previous smart watches, and offering new features for stress and sleep monitoring, an elegant design with a wider range of customizations and three colors : Silver, Midnight Black and Rose Gold.
Samsung promises a battery life of up to 80 hours for the 46 mm model, while for the smallest 42 mm, the estimated range is 45 hours.
