The Montblanc Summit 3 appears to be a viable option for those who want to buy a Wear OS watch other than the one made by SAMSUNG. It's great to see that the latest Wear OS 3 is compatible with non-samsung watches.

The Summit 3 has a 1.28-inch circular display. The smartwatch has 1 and 8 gigabytes of onboard storage. It has payment options that are compatible with wi-fi and near field communication. It has a 5 ATM rating for water and dust resistance, which should make it suitable for swimming.

A companion app is required for Wear OS 3. If the Apple Watch isn't cutting it, it's compatible with the phone.

The OneUI watch is based on Wear OS 3.5. There are a lot of accessibility issues and it addresses them. It's not clear if the Pixel Watch will ship with the same Wear OS version as the new version for watches.

The Montblanc Summit 3 costs $1,290 and is now listed on the Montblanc page, where you can purchase and experience the new operating system yourself.
