KT, 'Galaxy Watch4 Golf Edition' Pre-Sale on 29th-30th

Reception at KT stores nationwide
Official release on October 8

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] KT announced on the 29th that it will hold a pre-sale of the Samsung Electronics ‘Galaxy Watch4 Golf Edition’ LTE model on its official online mall KT Shop until the 30th. The official release is on October 8, and it can be purchased at KT stores nationwide.

The Galaxy Watch4 Golf Edition LTE model is the first model to support communication functions for the Galaxy Watch4 Golf Edition Bluetooth model released by Samsung Electronics on the 15th. This model is a version of the Galaxy Watch4 released in August with the Smart Caddie application (app) installed.

The Smart Caddie app provides vivid and clear data of over 40,000 courses worldwide and offers distance and green maps reflecting elevation and undulation information. It also allows convenient score input through an automatically appearing score input window when holing out, providing various information for convenient use during golf exercise.

The Galaxy Watch4 Golf Edition LTE is released in two models: 44mm Black and 40mm Silver. The retail price is 359,700 KRW for the 44mm and 330,000 KRW for the 40mm.

KT customers who subscribe to the smartwatch-exclusive plan ‘LTE Data Together Watch’ can use 250MB of data, 50 minutes of voice, and 250 text messages per month for 11,000 KRW. Some plan customers can use one line for free. For example, smartwatches are free of monthly charges when using the premium and special plans among the 5G plans ‘Super Plan Choice’ or the ‘Super Plan Special Plan’.

KT is also conducting various prize events for customers who pre-purchase the Galaxy Watch4 Golf Edition LTE model. The first 1,000 customers who pre-purchase will receive a special 3-piece package from the golf brand ‘Callaway’ (divot tool, ball marker, and 3 premium golf balls).

There is also an event held in collaboration with accessory specialist Spigen Korea. Among 30 selected people, 20 will receive a free 50-minute fitting lesson service at the Callaway Performance Center near Gangnam, Seoul, and 10 will receive a personalized golf accessory with a caricature artist. They can choose from two types of ball markers and one name tag.

After the official release, the first 2,000 customers will receive a genuine Samsung Electronics Watch4 charger. Applications can be made through the banner advertisement of ‘Our Store Hot Deal’ operated at KT stores nationwide.

Kim Byungkyun, Executive Director of KT Device Headquarters, said, “We are pleased to release the Golf Edition model, which was previously only applied to Bluetooth watches, for the first time in a communication-type watch.” He added, “We hope it will be efficiently used in golf exercise, which has expanded to various age groups, as customers can use the Smart Caddie app, which they previously had to purchase, for free.”
