First we had smartphone, now we’re moving on to smartwatches. A smartwatch is basically a computerized wristwatch with functionality that does more than just tell you time. There are already quite a few smartwatches in the market like those from Apple and Sony, but the costs aren’t nearly as affordable as the newest member of the smartwatch community is.
American company O+ released in December 2014 O+ Time, the newest item in O+’s catalogue of affordable mobile gadgets. For the relatively low price of P1,995, you can get technologies of a smartphone literally on the palm–well, wrist–of your hands.
O+ Time is an SMS reader, hands-free caller, and phone finder in one. Simply put, it’s an extension of your phone without having to use your phone at all through Bluetooth. If you’re a fitness buff, the watch is perfect for counting those steps through its pedometer. Of course, it does its job as a watch, alarm clock, and stopwatch. You can use this all day everyday as it’s water-resistant.
O+ Time is also can also be synchronized using its Alerts feature to inform you of your Facebook notifications, emails, and other reminders.
To top this all off, O+ Time has a sleek look that can go with any outfit. It’s rubber strap is casual enough to be worn everyday, yet can be paired with more dressy accessories to go to night events.
O+ also release another wearable, namely the 0+ Tag which is basically a modern, electronic dog tag which can be worn around the neck. It basically has the same features.
O+ Time is indeed a good match to O+’s line of affordable yet really cool smartphones. For the price of less than P2,000, it’s surely something to get.
O+, however, if offering a real treat when you buy the O+ Grande (worth P5,995): you get O+ Time for FREE. Now that’s something really worth getting. An awesome smartphone with an awesome accessory: what a great deal!
