If you’ve had a hankering for a gold smartwatch, you may have a more affordable option soon. Samsung announced the global launch of its new Gear S2 Classic smartwatch, which it revealed at CES a few weeks ago. While the company did not officially release pricing of the new Gear S2 Classic models, some reports spotted the watch up for preorder in Europe for €480. That would make the watch about $ 520 when it comes to the United States.

To put that in perspective, Apple’s gold smartwatch will cost you about $ 17,000—but there’s a key difference between Apple’s device and Samsung’s. The Gear S2 Classic has a stainless steel body (like the original) that now comes plated in rose gold or platinum. Apple’s smartwatch is made of solid gold, which explains its hefy price tag.

The new Gear S2 Classic models are made of more premium materials than the original Classic, and they will have a few new matching watch faces to go along with the color schemes. Other than the new materials, the new Classic has the same specs as the original. While the original Gear S2 has a nice, rounded design, it sports a much more futuristic look than the Classic models, which provide a more traditional, modern style.
