Interested Galaxy Watch 3 purchasers can taste a mix of straps and faceplates from the variety to find the best fit. Furthermore, users will also be able to use the Snapchat app with full-fledged Bitmoji support in order to entirely customize the experience.
If you like your own customized Galaxy Watch 3, a handy “shop” button will redirect you to the Samsung store for a real deal. We can take it as Samsung’s best try to sell the remaining Galaxy Watch 3 units as it’s going to introduce the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4 in near future.
Snapchat said, “Snapchat has teamed up with Samsung Electronics UK to launch a wrist-tracking campaign for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, allowing Snapchatters to try on and experience the watch features. This is the first time Samsung has used wrist-tracking technology and it is one of the first brands globally to embrace this feature, which was launched during the Snap Partner Summit in May this year.”
