  • Montblanc has announced what could be the first smartwatch running Wear OS 3 since Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 series.
  • The Montblanc Summit 3 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 4100+ chipset.
  • It will be available to purchase on July 15 for $1,290.

Since its debut at the I/O event a year ago, Wear OS 3 has yet to be found in any other model, but that is about to change with the release of Montblanc's new watch.

The Mont Blanc Summit 3 is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ Chipset. Montblanc's newest model comes with a hefty price tag. The Summit 3 will cost $1,290 and will be up for grabs around the world on July 15th.

The successor to the Summit 2 series offers the same set of features. The app has a sleep tracking feature. You can measure your blood oxygen levels with the Summit 3. There are many watch face options.

Black, gray, and bicolors will be shipped. A rubber and leather band is available. The latest watch will have a 42mm case. The Summit 3 will have a rotating crown.

It is likely that Fossil, Mobvoi, Michael Kors, TAG Heuer, Hublot, Diesel, or Skagen won't release their own Wear OS 3-powered timepiece until at least next year. The Connected Calibre E4 was unveiled earlier this year for $1800, but it has yet to be sold in stores.

Improvements to the operating system for your wrist are promised by the latest version of Wear OS. It isn't available on a wider range of smartwatch brands unless you own the best one on the market.

Montblanc's announcement means we will finally have a chance to experience the software without the bloatware. Wear OS 3 promises better battery life and quicker load times.
