That Montblanc Summit 2 looks gorgeous! I just don't feel like paying $800 for a watch... I think I'll wait for the Huatch 3...

I'm pretty excited about this SoC update. Doesn't sound like it will bring a speed boost, but the big-little-tiny configuration should do wonders for standby battery life even while monitoring fitness metrics in the background. I can't wait to see some of the new watches packing this chip!
