Although it also highlights a notable improvement in terms of internal storage, with up to 8 GB of internal storage intended for the playback of multimedia content offline; and 1 GB of RAM to guarantee agility and fluidity with any task.
Moving on to the clocks screen, we find two versions of 41 and 45 millimeter dial, for which the physical rotating bezel of the original model has been recovered, one of the most demanded accessories by fans given its great ease of navigation and the alternative to using the touch screen. In addition, both models will have Corning Gorilla Glass DX protection, as well as certifications for immersion up to 50 meters depth for 10 minutes and military-grade resistance MIL-STD-810G.
Regarding the design, we find more elegant and distinguished lines, taking a certain distance from the sports models, with A slimmer bezel that allows for a larger screen ratio, and a different button style that removes marks from the rotating bezel. Thus, both models will have a steel case as the base for the basic versions, although we will also find a version with titanium frames, increasing the general resistance, finished off with a top quality genuine leather strap.

Moreover, scheduled for an update within this year, the Galaxy Watch 3 will also get blood oxygen monitoring functionalities (SpO2 and VO2 Max).
