Samsung today officially launched the Galaxy Watch 3 smartwatch, Galaxy Buds Live earbuds, and several early-adopter promotional discounts covering both wearables. Its localized messaging regarding both gadgets is consistent with how the Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live have been marketed ever since they were formally announced at an online-only Galaxy Unpacked event in early August. More specifically, Samsung isn't advertising these two wearables as mere devices, but lifestyle choices. Because at the end of the day, you're looking at a INR 14,990 ($200) pair of earbuds and a smartwatch starting at double that, so you better be certain your lifestyle feels their effects because your wallet surely will.
In all seriousness, the Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live are pretty much the very best of what money can currently buy in the wearable department and are priced accordingly. Their pricing is also a lot more competitive compared to the regular Galaxy Note 20 which launched alongside them.
Samsung's 2020 wearables are all about refinement
In accordance with Samsung's product strategy, there are several launch promotions Indian consumers can currently avail in order to buy either one of these gadgets at a discounted price. If you pre-book the Bluetooth-only variants of the 41mm or 45mm Galaxy Watch 3, you are eligible for an instant cashback amounting to INR 4,500 and INR 5,000, respectively. This incentive will only be offered from August 20th to 26th and is exclusive to preorders made through Samsung.com, Amazon India, and Flipkart. So, not really that exclusive.
A less widely available offer promising twice the value in savings is tied to the LTE-ready Galaxy Watch 3 models in both sizes – pre-book one of those from today until August 26th, and you'll receive a 66% discount on the Galaxy Buds Live, allowing you to get your hands on these wireless earbuds for just INR 4,990. The Galaxy Buds live are scheduled for release next Tuesday, August 25th, whereas the Galaxy Watch 3 will be hitting the store shelves in India two days later. Both sets of gadgets will be available in Samsung's latest signature color – Mystic Bronze – apart from the 45mm Galaxy Watch 3 models, which will only be offered in Mystic Black and Mystic Silver. The latter finish will also be available on the 41mm Galaxy Watch 3, on top of the Mystic Bronze default. As for the Galaxy Buds Live, Mystic White and Mystic Black complete their list of casing shades.
