HP is back with a second smartwatch, this time in partnership with Swiss watchmaker Movado. The Movado Bold Motion looks more like a traditional watch than the Chronowing, the only real giveaway of the internal smarts is the LED lights. The Bold Motion has a 44mm stainless steel casing with a black PVD-finish. It connects to an iOS (8+) or Android (4.4+) device over Bluetooth. The watch is water proof up to 50m and comes either with a black silicone strap or a stainless steel buckle. There's no screen though. Notifications happen in two ways: vibration and the LEDs. It works like this - an appointment at 10:30 would be shown with a light at 10 o'clock and at 6 o'clock. Something like an email is shown as a pattern of lights. Obviously with no screen notifications are pretty limited, but at least you should get great battery life, right? Unfortunately it seems like it would only last a week, which isn't that impressive (a Pebble could do that). The Movado Bold Motion being a Swiss watch means it's not cheap either. It's listed on Movado's site at $785. That's close to the limited edition Mondaine Helvetica 1 ($950), which packs sapphire glass, genuine leather and 2+ years of battery life. PS. This isn't Movado's first smartwatch, it also has the Museum Sport Motion and the Bellina Motion. Source |...
