Meet the world's first luxury Wear OS smartwatch with eSIM support for 4G LTE activation

Montblanc is one of the few brands to branch out from the world of fashion, traditional timepieces, and luxury goods to smartwatches without enlisting the help of the very prolific Fossil Group behind such Wear OS devices as the Michael Kors Access collection, Diesel On Axial, and the aptly titled Puma Smartwatch.
For the Summit 2+, however, that represents a measly increase of less than 20 percent over the $995 starting price of the non-Plus model, bringing that number up to an ever so slightly more prohibitive $1,170. The hike is almost entirely owed to the addition of built-in cellular connectivity, made possible by integrating the same eSIM functionality as the latest LTE-enabled Apple and Samsung smartwatches.
The stunning design and the rest of the Summit 2+ specs seem largely identical to what the “regular” Summit 2 has going for it, including everything from a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor to a 1GB memory count, standalone GPS support, a built-in heart rate monitor, and a beautiful AMOLED display. Said screen is slightly larger this time around, though, which also means you’ll be getting a bigger battery.
Then again, the actual endurance numbers are likely to be negatively impacted by the 4G LTE integration. Oh, and for some reason, Montblanc appears to have downgraded the water resistance of this absolute beaut too. Of course, the target audience of a luxury Wear OS smartwatch probably doesn’t include professional athletes or swimmers anyway. There’s no word on a commercial release date yet, but it might be wise to keep an eye on Montblanc’s website over the next few weeks… if you have close to 1,200 bucks to spend on a new watch.
