To date, smartwatches have usually been associated with powerful-looking sports timepieces, equipped with plenty of functions, useful, however, for physically active people. This state of affairs has forced manufacturers to create entirely new collections, more suitable for everyday use, and equipped with the latest technologies. The fruit of these efforts is the hybrid smartwatch - a smart watch, shaped like a classic timepiece.
The most important feature of hybrid smartwatches is their constant connectivity with other devices, through a built-in bluetooth module. In this way, the watch sets the correct time by itself, and also allows itself to be easily configured from a second receiver, such as a phone. Typically, "smart" timepieces are equipped with an extremely energy-efficient battery, which allows them to last much longer than is the case with other models - smartwatches, which have quartz mechanisms.
In recent times, various collections of smartwatches have been created, fitting into the line of hybrid watches. The products of two major American companies, the Fossil Q hybrid, as well as the Timex IQ+ and Metropolitan+, should be considered among the most important. Intended for men, the Fossil Q Crewmaster and Nate, and the women's Gazer and Tailor are equipped with an additional dial, on which it is possible to show pre-configured data, including notifications of incoming calls or a second time. Timex models also have an auxiliary activity tracker, on which one can see a percentage breakdown of completed daily intentions.
Hybrid smartwatches - which brand to choose?Hybrid watches that will impress not only with their functions, but also with their appearance - ornaments in the form of crystals and an interesting dial, are: Michael Kors Slim Runway and Tommy Hilfiger TH24/7.Interesting models will add chic to any woman for whom the watch is to be not only a useful gadget, but also an element of thoughtful styling.
A similar scheme of constructing hybrid smartwatches was found in fashion-type pieces produced by such brands as, Skagen - Skagen Connected, Emporio Armani - Connected Alberto and Guess - Guess Connect. Guess timepieces differ from the others insofar as an additional smaller digital display is installed on their dials, as well as the ability to charge the battery via a USB port. Hybrid smartwatches are not just purely jewelry accessories, matching everyday, if not just elegant styling. Hybrid smartwatches also include bluetooth-equipped Casio Edifice and Diesel On Mega Chief and therefore watches with a much sportier character.
The latest offerings from Citizen are also interesting. Featuring a solid steel bracelet, the company's smartwatches not only connect to the phone via Bluetooth, but also have an extremely innovative Eco Drive mechanism, which charges the watch's battery thanks to solar panels installed in the dial. What's more, its water resistance is up to 100 meters. It will therefore come in handy for those who spend time swimming and diving at shallow depths.
Hybrid smartwatch seems to be the future of watchmaking - a neat combination of a classic watch with innovative technologies. In our store you can find models that are sure to meet the taste of any person.
