Apple has been bossing the smartwatch category since launching the first Apple Watch model in 2015. Plenty of new and incumbent wearables makers have tried to dislodge it, with little success so far.<\/p>\n
But could Samsung’s Galaxy Watch<\/a> succeed where others have failed? This rebranded successor to the Gear S3, unveiled alongside the Note 9<\/a>, offers far better battery life than Apple’s offering and a range of health features and benefits.<\/p>\n In this article we compare the Galaxy Watch with the Apple Watch Series 3<\/a> (Apple’s most recent wearable, ahead of the likely autumn launch of the Series 4<\/a>) for design, features, specs and value for money.<\/p>\n The Apple Watch Series 3 came out in autumn 2017 and starts at \u00a3329\/$329 (for the basic GPS model) or \u00a3399\/$399 (if you’d like to add cellular). There’s a more expensive larger model, and a range of designer straps and luxury materials that can push the price up to a maximum of \u00a31,399\/$1,399.<\/p>\n You can buy direct from Apple<\/a> or browse our roundup of the best Apple Watch deals<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Bluetooth version of the Galaxy Watch goes on sale on 7 September and can be preordered now<\/a> (if you do you’ll also get a Wireless Charger Duo which allows you to charge your watch and phone at once); the LTE model has no scheduled launch date but will come out later in 2018.<\/p>\n The Galaxy Watch costs \u00a3279 for the 42mm version<\/a> and \u00a3299 for the 46mm<\/a> if you buy from Samsung. Prices start at $329.99 in the US<\/a>. EE has confirmed it will also stock the Bluetooth model for \u00a3329.<\/p>\n Pricing is not yet available for the LTE model, but we’d expect it to cost at least \u00a3100 more than the Bluetooth version.<\/p>\n Eagle-eyed readers will immediately notice the central difference in design philosophy between these two watches. Apple went for a rectangular screen; Samsung for a circle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nPrice and Availability<\/h2>\n
