What we like about Montblanc Summit 2

  • Exquisite and attractive luxury design that resembles a traditional high-end timepiece
  • Premium build quality featuring sapphire crystal glass and a stainless steel chassis
  • Crisp and vibrant 1.2-inch AMOLED display with high brightness
  • Smooth performance powered by the Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset
  • Useful travel-oriented apps like Timeshifter for managing jet lag
  • Fast charging capabilities, reaching 100% in typically less than an hour

What we don't like about Montblanc Summit 2

  • Extremely high price point compared to smartwatches with similar technology
  • Underwhelming battery life, with some users reporting as little as 8 hours
  • Unreliable fitness tracking features, specifically inconsistent GPS and heart rate sensors
  • Side programmable buttons described as 'squishy' and lacking tactile feedback
  • Limited data export options for fitness and workout statistics
  • Bulky casing that may feel overly masculine or large on smaller wrists

Verdict

The Montblanc Summit 2 is a luxury 42mm smartwatch featuring a 1.2-inch AMOLED display (390x390 pixels) protected by curved sapphire crystal and powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. Running on Wear OS, it includes built-in GPS, NFC for Google Pay, a heart rate monitor, and 5 ATM water resistance, all housed in premium materials like stainless steel or titanium. Its primary advantages are its elegant traditional watch design, high-quality build, and exclusive travel apps like Timeshifter; however, it suffers from a high price point, mediocre one-day battery life in full smartwatch mode, and occasional software lag.
