Alcatel ONETOUCH Watch

Alcatel ONETOUCH’s first smartwatch, the ONETOUCH Watch, is now officially available to those residing in Singapore. First appeared at this year’s CES, this uber sleek, iF Design Award winning smart timepiece solves two of today’s most pressing issues faced by gadget lovers: charging cable and platforms. The former is addressed by an integrated USB charger in the watch’s wrist strap which eliminates the need to bring along additional cable to charge the watch, and the latter is addressed by its ability to play well with both Android and iOS smartphones. While staunch users of either platform may not appreciate this flexibility, true gadget lovers who often switch between the two major OSes or have two devices that runs on the two different operating systems will definitely welcome this often overlooked feature.

Aesthetically, ONETOUCH Watch bears the look and feel of a traditional watch (look a wee bit like Huawei’s, if you ask me), boasting brushed chrome finish, micro-textured resin bands and white stainless steel hardware. It has the ‘attire fail-safe’ look that would go well in any getup, including formal wear for your black tie or even white tie events. As far functionality goes, it will do what most smartwatches do, including receive notifications, control music and activity tracking. It can also serve as a heart-rate monitor, thanks to a discretely embedded sensor on the caseback. Additionally, it can remotely activate your phone’s camera shutter, trigger the phone to ring to locate your handset, and it will vibrate if you strays too far from the paired handset.
