It is clear that this year smart watches will make the big leap and we will start to see them more every day on the street. Large manufacturers are looking to create their own smartwatch and other startups in the sector do not want to miss the opportunity to make a name for themselves.
The clearest case is that of the company Olio Device, a startup founded in 2013, which is looking for a niche in this world of smart watches. For this, it has presented its first smartwatch to the public, a versatile watch but not suitable for some pockets.
If we now look at the prices of the current smartwatches, we find that their prices are around € 300 approximately, however, Olio's high-end watch exceeds the price of the current range of Android Wear and even the basic version of the Apple Watch. The Reloj will be available in two steel versions, the basic version will be 595 dollars y the $ 745 black steel version.
We also find a variety of leather and steel straps, so the device will also have some customization in the style of the Moto 360. Said Smartwatch incorporates Bluetooth To sync with the smartphone, the watch will be compatible with both Android and iOS. We also found a accelerometer and gyroscope (without heart rate monitor) with microphone that integrates seamlessly with personal assistants on both platforms, Siri and Google Now. The clock is resistant to 50 meters from water and the battery could last two days.
- Olio Devices has created its own operating system, so no Android Wear. Curious have been the statements of the CEO of the company who has communicated that the watch will not have app store since these do not make much sense to a smartwatch, quite the opposite that happens with smartphones.
The strategy of this small startup born in San Francisco is somewhat risky, since they bet on an intelligent device of their own manufacture and with software that will have limited functionalities, such as answering calls, answering a message and some other interaction with it. mobile phone. We will be attentive to know more about this device since it has caught our attention, although in my opinion, spending that amount of money on a device that only serves to notify you of calls or messages is to buy a whim. And you, What do you think of this smart watch ?
