Windows SmartWatch

[e4et]

Has anyone else been keeping an eye on the vector watch, vectorwatch.com? Apparently it'll have windows phone support and a 30 day battery life. Hopefully some solid info will be available after today, as they are supposed to be holding a closed room media briefing today sometime.

I'll believe that when I see it.

They've updated their site with the models. Doesn't look bad at all. Pricing also not the worst I've seen. At this stage they just seem a bit shy with more technical info, etc.

Here's a link to the cnet "hands on"

No colours and no touchscreen make that 30 days battery life quite believable. But also make me not want to spend almost four hundred bucks on something like this.

Well, $260 for the base model.
​But I'd want to see the Windows Phone notifications working first.

Sorry but look before you leap.........Honeycomb was a staple of Windows Mobile

Wonder if Microsoft had a patent on that layout, they could sue and shut down the iWatch, why not apple sues everyone...

Yea, if we could get true support from Pebble, the Pebble time has a color (ink display), and battery life is about a week as they claim. That is around $200+

I have a Pebble now but, once you handle another Android wear or the iwatch, these mono watches look like a kids toy.

That is the said thing about that, If these mono watches came out 7-10 years ago, they would of fit right in and looks good. Today with 4K tvs and True color smartphones, it's really hard to go to a mono display for long use.
