Samsung adds new watch faces to the Galaxy Watch 4

Samsung is bringing a number of new features to its Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatches in a new update, the company announced on Wednesday. Perhaps the most significant change is four new watch faces, including a basic dashboard and a weather-focused dashboard. You can see them in the GIF from Samsung below.

New faces aren’t the only updates on the way to the new watches; you can also use a ‘knock-knock’ motion in the air to launch a preset app or function. Fall detection has also been improved so that if you’re standing still and you fall, the watch will still detect it.

The update that adds the new features will roll out to Bluetooth versions of the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic starting Wednesday, while the LTE versions will get it shortly after, Samsung says.

The company is also announcing designer versions of the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Buds 2, made in collaboration with the Kitsuné brand. They come in a nice taupe color and like the company’s collaborations with Thom Browne, the Kitsuné-branded devices have some special design touches that set them apart from the standard Watch 4 and Buds 2. You can see photos of the new devices below from Samsung:

 

 

 

If you want to pick these up, though, you’ll need to act fast, as Samsung says only a limited number will be available in select markets. The Galaxy Buds 2 Maison Kitsuné Edition costs $249.99 (a $100 premium over the standard Buds 2), while the Galaxy Watch 4 Maison Kitsuné Edition comes in a 40mm Bluetooth aluminum version for $399, 99 (a $150 jump from the base Watch 4). Both will be available for pre-order starting Wednesday.
