Samsung Smartwatches Tizen

We have to admit we’re not huge fans of gold plated phones, but a gold plated smartwatch does make a lot more sense - luxury mechanical watches often flaunt gold or other precious metals. If you feel the same, you can snag a Samsung Gear S3 plated with 24K gold.

It will set you back $600 (double the price of a regular S3 classic). De Billas boasts about applying two layers of gold “with a high thickness.” Also, nickel is not used for the plating process (you can develop a nickel allergy after a prolonged exposure).

De Billas says that the Gear S3 is still good to go for a swim, the gilding process did not impact its water resistance. Note that the watch comes with the original band, but its buckle has been plated as well. The charger also got a 24K gold surface.

You can order a custom box and a personalized message if the gilded Gear S3 classic smartwatch is for a gift.

Depends on what yardstick you measure your watches by. Time was when accuracy was a Big Thing. So let's put them to that test: Patek Philippe accuracy +/- 4 seconds a day (good) Sa,sung Gear S3 Classic: +/- 1 second every 600 million years (be...

Totally unnecessary not exactly, since you did reply. Anyways, whoever claims Grand Seiko is not on the leagues of Rolex, Omega, IWC, etc., cant call themselves a watch connoisseur. Its like luxury watch racism, if the word ever existed. I dont ...
