    Samsung has launched two new variants of the Galaxy Watch Active 2 in South Korea. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 Golf Edition, as the name suggests, is targeted towards golf aficionados. The South Korean tech giant has also unveiled the LTE version of the existing aluminum variant of the smartwatch.

    The Galaxy Watch Active 2 Golf Edition comes with upgraded golf shot distance measurement. It also comes with a built-in Smart Caddie app, which offers information on more than 40,000 golf courses worldwide. This variant of Samsung's newest smartwatch comes in two variants: 44mm Aqua Black and 40mm Pink Gold. They are priced at KRW 393,000 ($323) and KRW 359,700 ($295), respectively. Samsung had also launched golf editions of the Gear S3 and the Galaxy Watch in the past.

    The South Korean firm has also introduced a new variant of the Galaxy Watch Active 2 Aluminum with LTE connectivity. It will be available in both 40mm and 44mm sizes. It comes in three colors: Aqua Black, Cloud Silver, and Pink Gold. The 40mm variant is priced at KRW 359,700 ($295), while the 44mm variant costs KRW 393,700 ($323) in South Korea.

    These new variants of the Galaxy Watch Active 2 will be available in South Korea starting tomorrow. The company also mentioned that these new Galaxy Watches would be introduced in some markets outside of Korea. The golf-focussed variant will be launched in the UK and the US, while the Aluminum LTE variant will be launched in some Asian and European markets in the future.
