We've scoured the internet to see what high-end luxury brands are doing in the smartwatch space, and found a number of watches that are not only expensive, but far more expensive than you might have imagined. These timepieces are for tech enthusiasts who want to be on the cutting edge of classic style and modern features.
The luxury smartwatch market is a niche that only a few high-end brands have ventured into. When a major luxury brand enters this space, it's likely that their timepieces will be expensive, with some brands creating entirely new watches with their own custom operating systems.
We've scoured the internet to see what high-end luxury brands are doing in the smartwatch space, and found a number of watches that are not only expensive, but far more expensive than you might have imagined. These timepieces are for tech enthusiasts who want to be on the cutting edge of classic style and modern features. Montblanc is a luxury watch brand that's known for its high-end fountain pens.
Their smartwatch, the Montblanc Summit 3, is a stylish and expensive timepiece that uses Wear OS from Google. It's a more minimalist look, and users don't need to learn a new operating system if they're thinking about upgrading from another Android smartwatch.
However, the Montblanc Summit 3 is not the most expensive smartwatch on this list, with a price point of over $1,000. Breitling is another luxury brand that's known for making high-quality timepieces. Their smartwatch, the Breitling Professional Exospace B55, is a connected watch that features traditional watch parts and precision, with two slim rectangular screens. One just above the arms, and the other a slightly larger screen just below.
When not being used to alert you about calls, messages, or emails from your smartphone, the screens serve as time and date displays. The heavy lifting is being done by the app, allowing you to control the watch's features from it and not having you swipe around and dig through menus on the watch face itself. This also helps the watch keep the distinctive look, which according to the brand is designed and tailored for pilots and yachtsmen.
It's a classic look that is still a watch, and not a smartwatch face trying to imitate one. Garmin might not be a brand that pops into your head when you are thinking of luxury timepieces, but with the Garmin Marq Athlete, the company is firmly in the luxury space. The Marq Athlete is a serious and high-end smartwatch machined with over 130 layers of carbon fiber, and the domed sapphire lens helps to highlight the AMOLED touch display.
Sure, the included leather hybrid strap might not sound or feel very luxury-coded when compared to its competitors, but the focus of the Marq Athlete is to merge the luxury world with the sports world in one timepiece. Instead of having a dedicated watch you put on for sports and one for casual affairs, the Garmin Marq is trying to kill two birds with one stone.
And since you are dealing with Garmin, you will also be getting solid GPS capabilities thanks to the included SatIQ technology. This allows for multi-band GPS, giving users high-quality positioning in any environment. Monitoring and GPS features include ClimbPro ascent planning, TopoActive maps, morning reports, and more, making the Garmin Marq a decent offering even at the incredible price. Tag Heuer is well-known for its high-end timepieces.
From its Monaco Evergraph that sells for nearly $25,000, the brand is known for expensive watches that regularly sell for thousands. Tag Heuer has a couple of smartwatches that are far more expensive than your average smartwatch, but the most interesting is probably the Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E5. This smartwatch is tailored for the golf enthusiast, providing a very clean, sleek, and lightweight design that won't get in the way during your backswing.
At nearly $2,550, the Calibre E5 is expensive, but several golf aficionados seem to really enjoy it. They point to the built-in Golf app being one of the best available. Others take issue with the Tag Heuer Connected line, suggesting that aside from the Tag Heuer faces, the series is nothing but an overpriced smartwatch.
