Wristwatch for Android

If you need to be aware of all the events taking place on social networks and know how many letters have arrived at your work mail, but it’s inconvenient to walk, buried in your phone, then there is a way out - a wristwatch on the operating system Android. This device works in conjunction with the phone and serves not only as a watch, but also as a conductor between a smartphone lying somewhere at the bottom of the bag and a person, for example, driving.

Electronic clock with built-in operating system Android are a multifunctional device that works both by itself and paired with a smartphone on the same operating system. Smart chronometers usually include the following features:

• receiving sms and calls (displaying text on the screen and the ability to accept a call);
• control built-in smartphone player;

The removable strap can be replaced in case of breakage, the rubberized case is scratch-resistant and pleasant to the body, IP67 or IP68 moisture resistance allows you to swim with the watch.
• Display. It can be based on electronic ink (as in readers), or it can be full color, like on a smartphone. The brighter the display, the more expensive the watch.
• Battery capacity. The average operating time of the watch on a single charge is about a day. This is due to the fact that the small case does not accommodate a capacious battery. Therefore, the simpler the display, the longer the watch will work without recharging.
• Charger connector. Be sure to pay attention to this. Usually there is a standard microUSB, but sometimes the manufacturer completes the watch with a personal connector. This is fraught with painful searches for a suitable charger if the "native" fails.
