The wait is almost over for Samsung fans who want to pick up the company's latest smartwatch. Samsung said that the Gear S3 would be available in November and it's sticking to its word. After officially announcing the pricing and release date of this device for the United States, it has now started taking pre-orders for both variants of the Gear S3 in its home country of South Korea.

Customers in South Korea can now pre-order the Gear S3 classic and Gear S3 frontier. Both smartwatches are priced at 399,300 won which works out to exactly $349. Pre-orders can be placed starting today until November 10. Free straps will be given as an incentive to those who place a pre-order, Samsung is running a similar promotion for Gear S3 customers in Germany. Gear S3 classic customers can choose between an olive green and navy blue strap while Gear S3 frontier customers can opt for either a khaki green or orange red silicone strap. Those who buy this smartwatch and access the Galaxy Apps application by the end of November will also get a free download of six apps for the Gear S3.
