KAIROS smartwatch project

[nuker 30]

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:

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.

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.

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]

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

[trailboss99 994]

Oke, I like that.

[Kernow 33]

When's the rep coming out?

[KeNnY 29]

Oke, I like that.

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?

Better check with Mary about your reserved number, there has been quite some changes on that "official" list

[solkryssare 109]

Now thats a smartwatch I'd wear!

[SSTEEL 0]

Me too, I like that, but I bet the sweep won't be as smooth as in that promo.

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

[deju 1,875]

Ok I'm interested... Best of all worlds

[nuker 30]

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).

I was going to say emperors new clothes..... However it's neither new and one can actually see it ..........and so from what I can see it's it poor.... really poor. The misty indoor transparent glass that doesn't work outside..... Feckin useless?

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.
