IT LOOKS LIKE A WATCH
BUT ACTS LIKE A SMARTWATCH
Compiled by Azhar Ahmad
DKNY
This everyday women's watch is a new hybrid
smartwatch from DKNY. There's no
touchscreen, instead the DKNY Minute will
track activity and send the data to iPhones and
Android phones via Bluetooth. The Minute will
also vibrate to alert the wearer of phone calls,
messages and apps notifications. There's three
'pushers' (physical buttons) on the right hand
edge of the watch and these will be customisable
via the app too. So, you can assign these to
functions like take a selfie or control music via
your smartphone.
KATE SPADE
Kate Spade New York offers the cutest hybrid
smartwatch that comes in pink color with
champagne bubbles. The bubbles rise up to the
word “Cheers!” Count down the days, hours and
minutes to your next celebration with a
champagne window that fills up as you get
closer to your date. The watch can also be used
to track your activity and beauty sleep as well as
notify you with incoming messages and calls. It
will also be available in variation and in a set of
two with a black leather strap.
TORY BURCH
The Collins from Tory Burch is set to follow in
the footsteps of other smartwatches as it is
discreetly integrating smartwatch features like
activity and sleep tracking as well as notification
support while still keeping things looking stylish.
The Collins is also able to find your phone with a
tap of a button. It will be available in four styles
aside from the gold/navy combo shown in the
image. There is no need for the watch to be
charged as coin cell batteries enable extended
use and will only have to be changed twice a
year (based on usage).
