Earlier this year we heard about HP trying to make a
smartwatch which was suppose to be a fashionable watch instead of high-tech
futuristic smartwatches like today. For this purpose, HP also partnered with a US –based
fashion designer Michael Bastian. The smart watch has now been revealed and it’s
called MB Chronowing and comes with
a 7 days battery life. As the watch is designed by a fashion designer, it looks
more like a fashionable timepiece instead of today’s futuristic smartwatches.
It doesn't come with amazing high-tech features, it doesn't even have a Touch
screen, Microphone for voice control and fitness tracking features. The reason
why it is called a smartwatch is because it can sync with your iOS and Android
device and comes with some features which standard wristwatch lacks. The HP smartwatch
is designed with a subtle approach like instead of audio alerts, which can grab
a lot of attention it comes with a minor vibration to notify the wearer about
texts, e-mails and app notifications.
It comes with a monochrome LCD display instead of
touchscreen that can display messages, time, stock prices, weather and more. Users
can control the watch using three large buttons on the side. The aim of the designer
is to provide a subtle watch like it is frustrating to check your phone constantly,
so MB Chronowing will let us do that
in a polite way.
The HP smartwatch will be available at online fashion retailer
Gilt from 7 November. The watch comes with a limited edition (300 only)
featuring sapphire glass with alligator straps and all-black model with a price
tag of $649 and a $349 model which comes with 3 different straps and made of
less premium material.
