Who’s interested in a luxury smartwatch? How about a Montblanc or … would you prefer a Tag Heuer?
Taken from Engadget … Montblanc, one of few luxury brands still making Wear OS smartwatches with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear processors, is announcing today that its Summit Lite is coming to the US. The fitness-centric smartwatch has been available globally since January, and is now available stateside for $860. Compared to the company’s flagship Summit 2+ smartwatch, which launched last year for $1,170, the Lite doesn’t look very different.
Not only does it run Wear OS and use the same aging Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset as the more-expensive model, it’s also about the same size, with a 43mm case. The Lite’s 1.19-inch AMOLED screen is slightly smaller than last year’s model (1.28 inches) and its 400mAh battery is also 10mAh short of the older version. Unlike the Summit 2+, the Lite doesn’t offer cellular connectivity, either. But it does have onboard GPS and 5 ATM of water resistance.
… it looks like those in the US who have $860 to spare for a three-year-old chipset, limited OS and Montblanc’s brand cache can get the gym-friendly luxury smartwatch if they want.
