I would think most readers of this blog are not too fond of Smartwatches. But it is good to take a look at them from time to time and see how these products are developing. One of the more interesting offerings is the COOKOO Watch, which is designed to act as an accessory for Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod.
The watch comes with an app downloadable from the Apple App Store and using this app, the COOKOO watch will alert you of:
- Incoming calls
- Missed calls
- Facebook messages and posts
- Calendar reminders
- Your device is out of range
- Low battery on iPhone or iPad
- Alarm and Timer alert
The COOKOO watch also has a command button that can be customized to do the things like Checking-in on Facebook or acting as a remote shutter control for you smartphones camera.
Unlike most smartwatches, the COOKOO uses a user replaceable battery. I am not sure how long the battery life is, but given that watch uses a analog display, you can expect it to be much less power hungry than those with full LCD displays.
So, will any of these features cause you to remove your hand wound mechanical marvel from your wrist from time to time? For just US$129,
