There was once a time when smart-watches were merely a concept out of Dick Tracy and Bond films, but these days, they’re more than just real— they’re practical, and becoming more and more popular, as manufacturers continue to jump in with their own versions.
An “inWatch” wristwatch has just been released which features GSM connectivity and even runs a custom build of Android 4.0, which is a huge step up from it’s little brother, “i’mWatch.” The device also ships with a 1.54-inch 240 x 240 capacitive display, a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU, a 2 megapixel camera and a 500mAh battery. Sounds like the specs of a low end phone from just a few years ago! (Obviously withholding the screen size and battery.)
Alternative connectivity options include WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS radios. The custom Android build is known as “inDroid,” and is created to fit the device’s smaller screen, which works with some of China’s most popular applications including WeChat, Sina Weibo, QQ, and Baidu music.
If you’re interested in this handy little device then head over to the company’s website— price is RMB 1,788 (around $293 USD).
