Samsung releases two new Galaxy Watch 5 series metal straps in Korea

Samsung has released two new metal straps for the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro in Korea. The two new metal straps are the Link Bracelet and the Milanese strap. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro’s Link Bracelet strap is made of lightweight and durable titanium material. The Galaxy Watch 5’s new Milanese strap is made from premium stainless steel and is durable.

The D-buckle band is the basic strap of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and is more suited for outdoor activities. On the other hand, the Link Bracelet gives an analog but luxurious look to the smartwatch. It can be used as a fashion accessory with a matching suit. The button-type design makes it easy to connect the watch body and the new metal strap. The length of the strap is also adjustable with a button while the buckle uses a magnetic fastening method.

The Milanese strap can be used regularly without the fear of corrosion or contamination. The mesh structure of the stainless steel is tightly combined to give a comfortable fit and proper air circulation. A button-type design is also used for the Milanese strap together with the magnetic fastening method used for buckling.

As per pricing, the Link Bracelet for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro retails for 253,000 won (~$182) and the Milanese strap sells for 99,000 won (~$71). The price of the Milanese is the same for both variants of the Galaxy Watch 5 – the 40mm and 44mm variants. Samsung is however offering discounts for the two metal straps when purchased in November via Samsung.com.

Samsung is selling the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Bluetooth model with the Link Bracelet strap for 599,000 won (~$430). Similarly, the Galaxy Watch 5 Bluetooth model with the Milanese strap is being offered for 319,000 won (~$229) and 339,000 won (~$243) (40mm and 44mm models respectively).
