ESA has partnered with Samsung to introduce the Galaxy Time, a new watch face that allows users to tell time on any of the neighboring planets in our Solar System. The launch of Galaxy Time coincides with the switch to summertime in Europe on 31 March 2024, offering an innovative way for users to engage with space and time.

Developed in collaboration with ESA, the Galaxy Time watch face provides wearers with a range of out-of-this-world features, including the ability to view the exact positions and distances of neighboring planets in real-time. Users can select a dial for any of the planets in the Solar System, with each dial displaying local time, number of moons, and seasonal weather information.

Mario Winter, Vice President Marketing Samsung Electronics Germany, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “Together with ESA, one of the largest players in space travel, we have developed a watch face that offers Samsung Galaxy users a new and unique way to explore our Solar System.”

To ensure accuracy, Samsung worked closely with ESA experts to incorporate real-time data and calculate time on planets with different day lengths compared to Earth. The Galaxy Time watch face will be available from 31 March 2024 in Germany, catering to space enthusiasts who are eager to embrace a more direct connection with space.
