What we don't like about Montblanc Summit 3

  • Poor battery life, typically lasting only a single day
  • High luxury price point compared to smartwatches with similar tech
  • Occasional performance lag and stuttering in the Wear OS interface

  • Limited long-term longevity as the internal tech will eventually become obsolete

Verdict

The Montblanc Summit 3 is a luxury smartwatch featuring a hand-brushed 42mm titanium case, sapphire crystal, and 5ATM water resistance. It runs Wear OS 3 on a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100+ processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, delivering its interface via a 1.28-inch AMOLED display (416 x 416 resolution). Key pros include its premium Swiss-inspired design, compatibility with both iOS and Android, and the inclusion of both leather and rubber straps in the box. However, its main drawbacks are a high retail price, limited battery life that typically lasts only a single day, and less comprehensive fitness tracking compared to dedicated sports wearables.
