Pre-sale available now.
The Samsung Gear S3 is now available for pre-order through Harvey Norman, Samsung Experience Stores, and the Samsung Online store, with wider on-sale availability from November 18, 2016.
The latest watch design from Samsung is inspired by the tradition of a classic timepiece and complemented by mobile technology that will support a highly customisable experience. Key features include quick access to apps via the rotating circular bezel, in-built GPS, health and fitness tracking, IP68 water resistance, built-in speaker and microphone.
The Gear S3 Frontier and Gear S3 Classic are each specifically crafted to tailor to different consumer styles and environments. The Gear S3 Frontier features a rugged look and feel that is supported by Corning Gorilla Glass SR+ to provide a tough, scratch resistant display. The Gear S3 Classic offers elegant styling, with its size and shape offering consistency of a well-crafted luxury watch. Both devices have a water and dust resistant IP68 rating.
Consumers will receive a hero red watch band as featured on the S3 Frontier for every pre-sale order with a participating retailer. Both devices utilise easily interchangeable and widely available standard 22mm watch bands.
Samsung Australia vice president for IT and mobile, Richard Fink said, “We are proud to release the Gear S3 classic and frontier smartwatches. We believe Australians will enjoy these beautifully crafted timepieces which have been designed to offer a classic watch experience, as well as the incredible functionality of our most advanced wearable technology. These latest additions to our range of watches combine design, functionality and an intuitive interface that have been created to make navigation of content and apps incredibly smooth.”
Full functionality requires calibration and a connection to a compatible smartphone with internet access. The Gear S3 has an RRP of $599 and is available on pre-sale from Harvey Norman, Samsung Experience Stores and the Samsung online store.
