Consumers can choose from two sizes for the flagship smartwatch – a 46mm case and new for this year, a 41mm case. The latter uses a pendant body design while the former retains the octagonal case from the Watch GT 3. Both come in multiple body and strap options as well as different case colours.

New Sunflower GPS technology delivers better positioning data via beamforming – giving users better tracking solutions for runs, walks, and hikes.
