misfit-command-hybridFancy picking up a smartwatch that also carries a blend of the traditional analog timepiece? Well, if that is your intention, you would definitely have no issues when you lay your eyes upon the Misfit Command Hybrid Smartwatch. This is an advanced timepiece which will merge the iconic design of the old school analog watch while offering the kind of powerful connectivity that only a smartwatch is able to deliver.

The Misfit Command Hybrid Smartwatch will arrive in a sleek, stainless steel case complete with matte finishing, where it would make it the most fashion-forward hybrid smartwatch to roll out from the company to date. It is able to discreetly conceal its technology behind a watch face which is not only modern, but also carries elements of the traditional look. One will be able to opt for either a silicon sport strap or a stainless steel bracelet, enabling the Command to deliver endless style possibilities courtesy of a wide range of 20mm strap options.

Similar to its hybrid predecessor, the Phase, the Command is also a fantastic companion when it comes to keeping track of your personal fitness. It is able to track steps, the number of calories burned, figure out the distance traveled, as well as determine your sleep duration and quality courtesy of a 3-axis accelerometer. One can also opt to create and receive customized notifications when it comes to calls, texts, emails, and other kinds of apps. All of these are done via an unassuming subeye with graphic icons for easy notification identification and daily goal progress. In addition, users are able to leverage auto-update time and date functionality, second time zone, and vibration alarms to remain connected without having to check out the display at all, while a smart button will function in the same vein as that of a remote control so that users can play music, take a picture, connect to other smart devices, and ring their phone.

Expect this swimproof and water resistant to 50 meters timepiece to arrive in Black Steel, Black Copper, Navy Blue, and Steel colorways with an asking price of $149.99 apiece.

mvoice-g2The mVoice G2 is not any ordinary smartwatch, but rather, this is the first hybrid smartwatch of its kind that will boast of a smart display alongside traditional watch hands. It would make it quite the novelty, don’t you think so? This is exactly what makes us so enamored with the mVoice G2, where it features a timeless and preserved watch design that offers smart access to the wearer to virtual assistants, apps and others using all but a simple voice command.

After all, Martian Watches happen to be the ones behind the first smartwatch in the world with voice, and announcing the mVoice G2 is a statement of intent. This is the maiden hybrid smartwatch attempt that boasts of traditional watch hands with minute and hour markers over a full round power effective OLED display. With voice calling and commands available at a moment’s notice, you will be able to enjoy instant convenience on the wrist with Siri, Alexa and the Google Assistant. This allows consumers to freely experience the best of both worlds, especially when it concerns the preservation and adaption of a classic watch design onto a digital, connected lifestyle.

The mVoice G2 is already available for pre-order on Kickstarter with pledge levels starting from $99 upwards. The low battery-consumption smart display as well as a SII connected gearbox will offer traditional analog time, all the while being hooked up to a smart crown. This makes the mVoice G2 function even when it runs off a solitary lithium battery. With a full charge, users are able to enjoy anywhere from seven to ten days of smart features, in addition to two hours of talk time prior to sending it for another recharge. The smart crown itself has the ability to scroll through notifications by rotating it, or to and enable or disable menu settings via a push.

PowerWatch begins to ship

Posted by Jack on in Cool Clocks, powerwatch, Smartwatch, watch

powerwatchIt has taken less than a year after materials science pioneer Matrix Industries’ crowdfunding effort took off to great success, and now the shipment of its PowerWatch to initial backers has commenced. This highly sought after PowerWatch is touted to be the first device of its kind, in the sense where it is powered by the wearer’s body itself. This is the perfect demonstration of Matrix’s proprietary thermoelectric energy converter, where the energy harvesting performance of the PowerWatch can be attributed to a trio of key technical advances that are currently unmatched by existing technologies.

The PowerWatch will continue to work by feeding off your body heat, ensuring that recharging your timepiece is a thing of the past. When you take off the PowerWatch, your data will be stored in memory and it goes to sleep. Put back the PowerWatch, and the timepiece will turn right back on at the point where you left it. It is capable of figuring things out up to two years in idle mode, and there is always an always-on power meter which will inform you of the amount of electricity which your body heat is producing. This is starting to sound a whole lot like the Matrix, where we humans end up as batteries for the machines.

In fact, the PowerWatch is deemed to be the most accurate measure of calories burned on the market. It is made from rugged aircraft-grade aluminum, and this wearable device will be able to wirelessly synchronize with your smartphone, and performs automatic adjustments to the current time zone, tracks your steps, calories and sleep, and is water resistant up to 50 meters.

PowerWatch as well as the special edition PowerWatch Black Ops will start to ship to initial backers and will be available for purchase later this month with a starting price point of $199. Expect the premium PowerWatch X slated to ship before the year comes to an end. Talk about a truly different smartwatch!
