nuker 30 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Hey guys! Look who we got here Concept is pretty cool IMO and that pre-order price is really temptating- about 500usd for miyota version, but seller provide no actual pics or even a single clue for 'em. What do you think about subj? Bullshit or is it possible? Here's the promo trailer: And here's skype conference with representative: Mechanical watch components: Dimensions: Case: 46mm diameter x 16.5mm height Band: 22mm wide (replaceable) Movement: MSW 115: Miyota 82S7, 42 hour power reserve, 21600 bph, 21 Jewels. Automatic movement. SSW 158: Soprod A10BV-2 Swiss Automatic Movement, 28800 bph, 25 Jewels, 42 hour power reserve Materials: 316L Stainless steel, Genuine leather band, Crystal Sapphire Glass Water Resistant 3 ATM Edited September 4, 2014 by nuker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted September 4, 2014 That's quite interesting and a novel idea. Actually looks good too imo. Definitely something I'd add to the collection if it functions correctly. I wonder how good the touch screen could possibly be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC1221 44 Posted September 4, 2014 now this looks like a smartwatch i would wear but it looks like it wont be cheap. i rarely ever find the need to have my watch tell me my pulse or location or show me text messages so i really have no need for a smartwatch. this does look better than whats been out though.

Bamadadof3 0 Posted September 5, 2014 Went to their website and I have to say except for the $ it's an impressive watch. Over 1K for the swiss movement non-gold in the smartwatch market might be a tough sell but they are really shooting for the upscale market so it might be a hit. I like the look of the case a lot.

BC1221 44 Posted September 5, 2014 Honestly the watch itself is pretty nice. If I could buy one without the smart watch bs, I would def get a Swiss version. I love the half skeleton look and that minimal dial is a beaut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuker 30 Posted September 5, 2014 When's the rep coming out? Seller stated that they will ship out first batch @ Dec. From that time pre-order price will be changed to MRSP, actually it will push up the price to 1000USD for Miyota ad about 2000USD for SOPROD version. So that's the trick..you can pull the trigger and pay 50% of MRSP or wait for first reviews and actual pics, but price will be appropriate. As for me it's hard to make a decision, because there are only render pics and no any evidences that project on the final pre-sale stage. Frankly speaking it reminds me Luthier project..by the way how's the story ended with his project? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted November 20, 2014 I just saw this online and was going to post it on the forum but thought I'd do a quick search to see if it had already been mentioned. This is the first smart watch I have seen that I think I could live with, very interested to see what it looks like IRL when they get the production ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuker 30 Posted June 5, 2016 Here I come with sudden updates about KAIROS. They began to sell their hybrid watches, you can check review below. As for myself I think their T-bands could be even more interesting than their HYBRID watches, only 299bucks for a strap with PMOLED screen, pulse sensor, vibration and lug adaptors (alleged compatibility with 18-24mm lugs).

PhillyRock 0 Posted June 5, 2016 Not my first choice of watch but certainly interesting. Never liked SMART watches but if they can get this one right I'll keep my eye on the stainless steel version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
