Current realities make even the most conservative watchmakers to follow the rules of the modern market of digital devices. Therefore, the best solution in this regard is the development of its own line of smart watches. For example, a company Casio is very well understood and therefore on passing at the moment, CES introduced the so-called “smart marching watch” WSD F10, which is essentially the first smart watch in the history of this company.
Seemingly just a more modern version of its line of G-shock, this new device runs on the Android operating system Wear and is trying to use to the max all the pleasures of this platform.
First note that the smart Casio watch will be offered with two different displays — monochrome and colour (16 million shades). The latter is more suitable for those who want to receive and experience all the delights that can provide smart watch, while the first option is more suitable for those who want to get from hours of maximum battery life. What is the maximum? If you believe Casio monochrome variant capable of operating from a single battery charge for up to one month, however taking into account that all the fitness trackers and function the smart-watches will not be used.
Display size in both cases is 1.32 inches at a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels. Watches are endowed with digital compass, pressure sensor and height, and also calendar time of sunrise and sunset. In addition, the watch is water resistant. According to the company, the new product is capable of withstanding water pressure at depths up to 50 meters.
Unfortunately, none of the options does not have GPS, so the watch cannot be connected to your phone and use it as a GPS-sensor.
It is interesting to note that despite the fact that the smart watch from Casio and smart watch Apple Watch is clearly aimed at different audiences and buyers, Kazuhiro Cascio, President and CEO of the Japanese company, said that their new device is a much more interesting alternative.
The cascio believes that while Apple could really attract customers to these products, in fact, form the market of smart watches, many of those who buy the Apple Watch, actually I don’t know what to do with this clock.
More detailed information yet, however, according to preliminary data, in sale smart Casio watch will go for around $ 500. The choice will be available seven body colors, including orange, red, black and green.
