Omate X is the company’s first companion watch.

One of the biggest complaints consumers have against smartwatches is that they are not fashion-friendly, but the latest wearable device from Omate, which promises both compatibility with iOS and Android devices, has managed to design a watch that not only syncs with smartphones, but is affordably priced and has aesthetic appeal.

The Omate X offers a simpler user face than the Omate TrueSmart.

The new wearable has fewer functions than the TrueSmart. However, since it has been developed to be a companion device to a smartphone, in a similar way that Android Wear and Pebble are, it is not surprising that it lacks certain elements that a standalone device has.

The Omate X can be paired with an iOS device running iOS 6 or later or Android devices running 4.3 or later, over Bluetooth 4.0 low energy. It can display notifications of incoming messages, calls, social media updates, and other details from the wearer’s phone. Some of its other features include displaying weather information, customizable options (ex. clock, wallpaper, etc.), and it can function as a remote control for music playback on the user’s phone. Omate is also working on adding voice controls.

Omate’s attractive smartwatch comes with chic removable straps.

The straps that come with this wearable technology are genuine leather. Not only can the straps be removed, but wearers can swap the original strap with any strap that is 22 mm in size, providing them with more fashion control.

The watch’s 1.54 inch display is a 240 x 240 pixel TFT LCD curved touchscreen. The battery life of the 400mAh battery lasts up to a week with a single charge. On the side of the watch there are accelerometer buttons for power and to activate and control home functions. It also has a 3-axis motion sensor.

Beginning September 1 until September 30, the Omate X smartwatch will be available for pre-order for $129, which is less than half the cost of the Omate Truesmart ($299). The company intends to start shipping out the product in October and the first 1,000 pre-orders will receive a watch engraved with an Early Bird/Limited Edition serial number.

The Meta M1 premium wearable technology is now being sold in a number of band options and colors.

It feels as though this is the year in which smartwatches are being announced, unveiled, or released with every passing week, but while many of them struggle to provide consumer with an appealing design or style, Meta Watch is hoping to overcome that barrier with its Meta M1.

When creating this wearable technology product, the company prioritized look at the same level as function.

Though the Meta M1 smartwatch had initially been expected for a spring release, after it had made its first appearance in the form of its prototype at the January CES trade show, the wearable technology gadget has only just recently been released for preorder. That said, it is available in a range of different band options, finishes, and colors. The M1 Core can be purchased in a stainless steel case, with a band that is either steel, leather, or rubber. The price ranges from $249 to $349, depending on the options that have been selected.

The M1 Color smartwatch is available with a band made of red or white rubber, with a stainless steel case.

That device is being sold for $249. Finally, the premium model of the brand’s wearable technology is the M1 Limited smartwatch, which offers a rose gold plated case with a blue crocodile strap, or a black case with a brown leather strap, being sold for $399. There is also a black M1 limited that has a black steel band that is being sold with the largest price tag, at $449. While they can be purchased as a pre-order now, it is expected that the devices will actually start shipping in September.

The design of the watch was created by Frank Nuovo, who is known for his time with Vertu and Nokia. The pivot points on the strap of this smartwatch are a unique form, which allows the wearable device to be able to conform to the wrist of the wearer in a much more accurate – and hopefully comfortable and attractive – way than the traditional form of a wristwatch strap.
