iOS Support Finally Arrives in a Watch OS 3 Smartwatch with the Montblanc Summit 3

Introduction

iOS users rejoice - the Montblanc Summit 3 is the first Wear OS 3 smartwatch that supports your operating system!

Though smartwatches have been around for a few years now, one thing has kept them from becoming the true successors of our phones: an inability to be used no matter the type of operating system our phones utilize.

This means that Apple users have had to miss out on features like Google Pay, better fitness tracking, and improved battery life - and choose instead to stick to the Apple Watch for direct integration.

Now, a watch has arrived that will truly bridge the gap between your phone and your wrist - the Montblanc Summit 3.

A Watch Designed to Jump Platforms

The Montblanc Summit 3 is the latest smartwatch designed from the ground up to support integrations with iOS and Android phones.

It has a sleek, minimalist design that will look great whether you're wearing a suit or jeans. And it's packed with features that will appeal to users of both operating systems.

One of the most exciting features of the Montblanc Summit 3 is its design built on the Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform. This gives the device the ability to offer unparalleled battery life as well as a unique way to interact between the phone and watch.

Plus, the 1.28" full-circle AMOLED display offers a sleek view for all notifications and apps - while keeping that classic Montblanc feel.

While many leading Watch OS 3 watchmakers have denied plans to adapt their devices to the new platform, the release of the Montblanc shows that some designers such as Fossil and Mobvoi are looking to take advantage of the new technology.

This is a huge step forward for smartwatches, and it's something that we're sure Apple users will be excited about.
 

Helping Bridge the Gap between Phone and Watch
So how does the Montblanc Summit 3 manage to finally close the gap between smartphone users?

It starts with the dedicated companion app that will be available on both iOS and Android.

This app will act as a hub for all of your watch's features and settings - allowing you greater control over your watch than ever before. This means you don't have to have a separate phone and watch - you can use the same app to manage both devices!

Will It Work Smoothly?

Buyers beware: As the Montblanc Summit 3 is the first smartwatch attempting to connect iPhone and Android users, there is likely to be a learning curve as well as limitations on how the watch interacts with Apple phones.

However, this is an exciting first step in the right direction - and we're sure that future updates will smooth out any wrinkles.

Should the Montblanc Summit 3 prove to truly make a difference in the world of smartwatches, it could very well pave the way for other watchmakers to finally support iOS.

The Montblanc Summit 3 is set to launch on July 15th for €1,250 (roughly $1,827). If you're looking for a smartwatch that can do it all, this is the one to keep an eye on!
