Smartwatches

I am probably one of the biggest Apple supporters. I love their products.
For me it was a really tough decision to get the Samsung Note 4 because I have had the last 4 iPhones. I landed up getting the Note 4 because of it's pen basically. Because I do a lot of diagrams, this would make instant changes in meetings a breeze. So because of this decision, the new Apple iWatch wasn't really going to work for me.

A while ago I got the Cookoo Watch. It was cool, but big and a little buggy. I got the Fitbit Flex, and while it works well to track steps, exercise, sleep etc that's all it does.

I found that all the watches that offered what I was looking for only really started at about R4000. For a toy (that's basically what it is when it comes down to it) that's a little much to spend. I'm sure once it becomes as necessary as a phone, we'll all be happy to spend the same on our smart watch as we do our smart phone.

I found a Swiss product called the MyKronoz ZeWatch2. Just look at how pretty it is:

Here's what I got in the box

• Charger
• Manual
• Watch

What can this thing do

• Tells the time (say what!!!!)
• Answer, reject and end calls. The calls can actually come through the watch itself.
• Caller ID
• SMS notification
• Voice control for Siri or Google Now.
• You can stream music to the watch
• Pedometre
• Distance travelled
• Calories burnt
• Sleep tracking
• Reminders
• And a really cool anti-lost alert for when you are more than 10 metres from your phone

• Charge time: 90 minutes
• Battery life: 3 Days
• Water resistant? NOOOOOOOO!
• Warranty? 1 Year.
