In Korea, Samsung draws two new metal bracelets, each available in two colors and two sizes. They are elegant, but their prices promise to be steep.
Samsung unveiled in Korea, for its Galaxy Watch 5 / Watch 5 Pro, some bracelets a little sexier than the plastic ones provided by default on its connected watches. In this case, two models are current, each available in two colors (silver and black) and two sizes (40 and 44 mm).
The first is a link bracelet dubbed “Link Bracelet” which can only fit the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. The second is a more classic Milanese bracelet, similar to that offered on the Apple Watch, but with a different closing system, compatible for its part with the classic Galaxy Watch 5.

As specified GSMArena, Samsung offers these bracelets for sale individually, but also as a bundle for the purchase of a new Galaxy Watch 5 / 5 Pro in Korea. The local prices also give us a first idea of what to expect in terms of price placement in the case of a European release. On site, the link bracelet is sold for 253,000 won (about 180 euros excluding tax), while the Milanese bracelet is traded at 99,000 won (just over 70 euros excluding tax).

We do not know at this stage if these bracelets will reach us, but we note all the same that the Milanese bracelet is already displayed on the French store of Samsung (without stock available however), at a price of 99.90 euros. You can also select the purchase option on the French store, but again the out-of-stock mention prevents us from going further. For your information, the price of a Galaxy Watch 5 40 mm Bluetooth with Milanese bracelet amounts to 359 euros with a discount of 20 euros, for a total of 339 euros therefore. We contacted Samsung France to try to find out more.
