Montblanc’s New Watch Blends Fitness, Functionality, and Style

Apple Watch. FitBit. Samsung Galaxy Watch. You know these brands and products well, because over the last half-decade or so, they’ve come to dominate the fitness-tracking smartwatch game. They’re all terrific smartwatches too, really, perfect whether you’re working out in the gym, taking a run, or just running to the store.

But there are other options out there. And if you’re looking for a smartwatch that brings classic, sleek style while also delivering solid fitness chops, it’s time to consider Montblanc’s Summit Lite.

I know what you’re thinking, too: Montblanc isn’t exactly a brand known in the fitness space. When you think Montblanc, we think of high-end bags and wallets, sunglasses, pens, and stationary. You don’t think of a rugged device you’ll don during any and every workout. And the Summit Lite may have a hefty price tag ($725), but it aims to change that. And while it may not be flawless, it's a quality alternative if you’re looking to stand out.
