Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3 smartwatches are now available for purchase from Samsung's online store and Best Buy.
The Galaxy Watch 3 comes in two sizes. The 41mm model starts at $400, and the 45mm model starts at $430.
Both sizes are available with standard Bluetooth, as well as Bluetooth and LTE.
New features include voice-activated workout tracking, blood oxygen measuring, and fall detection.
The Galaxy Watch 3 also has advanced ECG and blood pressure heart sensors, but they're not available in the US yet, as those features need to pass through the FDA for approval.

Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3 smartwatch was announced on August 5, and became available to buy on August 6 starting at $400 from Samsung's online store and Best Buy.

The Galaxy Watch 3 comes in two sizes, including 41mm and 45mm variants. Both versions feature slimmer rotating bezels compared to previous models, along with a two-day battery life claim, as well as new feature updates that are especially geared toward fitness enthusiasts. Both sizes come in standard Bluetooth models, as well as Bluetooth and LTE models.

New fitness features include using your voice to begin tracking a workout — saying "begin pull-ups," for example, will initiate pull-up tracking on the Galaxy Watch 3. It also includes new sensors for tracking workouts and health, including support for reading SpO2 and VO2 max levels. Samsung added trip/fall detection to the Galaxy Watch 3 as well, which can send a custom SOS message to emergency contacts.

The Galaxy Watch 3 also comes with blood pressure and ECG sensors for better heart monitoring and tracking, but those features aren't available in the US yet — the FDA still has to approve these features before making them available.

You can buy the 41mm and 45mm versions of the Galaxy Watch 3 now from Best Buy, Samsung, and other retailers.
