A better smartwatch then any smartwatch

[BallGum]

Wasn't there a lot of controversy with this company not too long ago regarding the product not getting shipped out....? Or am I thinking of something else. Android Authority had a picture of the guy with a Ferrari, which turned out to have been misconstrued.

Pocket smartwatch or GTFO

Really beautifull watch. Things like this are the only option if the battery life of "classic" smartwatches bothers you... If the quality of the components and the manufacturing is up to standard with other major mechanical watch makers (I'm not talking Rolex or some other super expensive stuff, but something like Swatch or something like that would work...) I think the price is about right for the basic model... Do not forget this is a smartwatch inside a mechanical watch, so if you think that a smartwatch costs about 250 $ you pay "just" 250/300 dollar for the mechanical part... And if the mechanics are good that amount money is not that much... I don't say it's for everyone, but if you are already a watch-wearer I'll give it more than one thought...

3 atm = 20 meters deep.  1 atm from the air and another 2 from the 20m of water.

 

And I would quote, but the forum doesn't function properly at my office.

Have fun with your smartwatch that you overpayed for!

I am not interested in buying any smart wearable or smartphone for that matter. I just wanted to inform people that there are actually some interesting idea other than some over hyped piece of fake crap you buy while on holiday in Thailand. Yes I am talking about the Apple watch and all the other watches. Overpriced garbage. Even this is overpriced but at least you get good craftsmanship in the movement itself.

I'll believe it when I see a non biased reviewer hold it

Wasn't directing it at just you, was to anyone who bought the watch...

Yea I know but I was kind of trying to give a reason for making this post. Personally I don't see the point at all in a smartwatch. 

[ZeroBreaker]

THIS IS WHAT AN EXPENSIVE SMARTWATCH SHOULD BE

 

To all those saying 'watches aren't cheap so the iWatch is justified', THIS is what makes a high price justifiable, not some fucking brand or whatever.

But in all honesty, Smartwatches are more of a 'hey, you guys who wear watches, wouldn't it be cool if it was smarter than your children?' type thing.

[Levis95l]

Too expensive for me but I know that some people can easily spend that much on a watch. Considering it's a smartwatch and a mechanical watch at the same package, it's actually cheaper than I would have expected.

They suffer from something that Apple is trying to fix though, and it's that they're all very manly-looking. Sure there'll be exceptions but I can't really see women liking this design.

[razor767]

I've seen these before, really like the concept but I'm not going to pre-order something based on pre-renders.

Uh, better than having your only watch on offer be feminine-looking, (COUGH Moto 360 COUGH) as I predict the majority of smartwatch early adopters will be male.

 

Up until now I've never even seen a masculine smartwatch. This is literally the first*. So it's got an entire demographic all to itself. (Unisex watches notwithstanding)

 

*There are plenty that are 'fits all' but none that are manly, like this one.

If anything I'd say the Moto 360 has the most unisex design of all so far. It just seems less clunky and squared. Apple at least rounded it out a lot.

[Blade of Grass]

Interesting concept, but I'll wait to see how it actually performs.

Rather sad that it's only 3 ATM water resistant.

 

It's also quite fat.

You know that that is 30m, which is 98.5 feet? That's pretty standard among watches for water resistance. It's a smart watch, not a SCUBA dive watch

 

EDIT: Also, most other smart watches are only rated to 1m (IP67).

[Agons]

why does it say mechancal 42 hr? does that mean you have to rewind it up every two days?

[evinta]

Damm if it wasn't that expensive i would get my dad one for xmas. 

[bob345]

That is freaking awesome. Also, to all those complaining about the price, $550 is pocket change in the mechanical watch world. This is still considered budget.

There's nothing like a completely round face and a too narrow band to say "hey look, I'm for women"

Its not overpaying for anything, it just sells at a premium price for premium features.

[kayodoc]

My reactions in this order:

 

*sees design* oooOOOOHHHHH

 

*sees mechanical-ness alongside smartwatch-ness* aaaAAAAhhhhHHHH

 

*sees claimed battery life* YESSSSSS

 

*sees price*  

 

In theory, this is a great idea. Combining the analog mechanics of a normal watch with the software/hardware of a smart watch is a pretty smart way to tackle the design and battery issues of current smart watches... but that price makes Apple look like a budget brand. I'll most likely be picking up a Moto360 and save myself $400 in the process.

id get this over any smart watch ive see so far it looks like awesome

[Soplias]

That looks sexy as foooooook

I guess that's why all men buy hexagonal watches.
