Other than Apple Watch, smartwatches can't be luxurious and stylish, right? Wrong. Sure, Apple may be the leader in tech fashion, but other manufacturers are getting in on the game too. Just yesterday, I wrote about some really fancy-looking Fossil watches that are totally chic.
Today, however, what may be the most luxurious smartwatch of all time makes its debut. Samsung is partnering with watch and jewelry-maker, de GRISOGONO, for a special version of the Tizen-powered Gear S2. It is so fancy, that even Jony Ive of Apple may be jealous.
"The Samsung Gear S2 by de GRISOGONO channels inspiration from traditional jewelry and watchmaking, evoking the distinctive de GRISOGONO design heritage. The smartwatch is transformed into smart fashion with rose gold, over 100 black and white diamonds and a bracelet studded with de GRISOGONO’s signature galuchat. The diamond-set gold bezel turns freely around the dial, allowing consumers to access the Gear S2’s library of applications and features, including notifications, activity logs", says Samsung.
Fawaz Gruosi, Founder and Creative Director, de GRISOGONO explains, "designing a connected watch with Samsung has been an incredible experience for both brands. Samsung brought to the table the best and most intuitive technology, while de Grisogono brought its glamorous design and craftsmanship expertise. The resulting Samsung Gear S2 by de Grisogono clearly embodies all of our boldness in watch design and our jewellery savoir-faire, while maintaining all of Samsung's technological capabilities and intuitive usage".
As per below, the technical specs are identical to the vanilla S2.
Case: 41 mm, rose gold set with 56 white diamonds (approx. 1.2 cts), black DLC-coated stainless steel set with 71 black diamonds (approx. 1.8 cts)
Watch faces: A two-hand dial with dual-time display complete with day/night indicator at 3 o’clock, day-date indicator at 6 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock, A two-hand dial with a central seconds counter, a power-reserve indicator at 4 o’clock and a moon phase at 8 o’clock.
Strap: Black Galuchat, Triple folding clasp, Black DLC-coated stainless steel
Display: 1.2 inch, Circular Super AMOLED, 360x360, 302ppi
Storage: 4GB Internal Memory
RAM: 512MB
Connectivity: Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC
Sensors: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Heart Rate, Ambient Light, Barometer
Battery: Wireless Charging, 250mAh Li-ion, Typical Usage 2~3days
Unfortunately, pricing on this beautiful smartwatch is still unknown. With that said, it is safe to assume that it will be way too expensive for most consumers. If you do think you will have the money to buy this watch, you will get your chance in the summer when it goes on sale.
