SMARTWATCHES OFFER A range of uses from health monitoring to push notifications, but many people are reluctant to buy yet another gadget that needs constant recharging.
At only 10mm thick, Superbe is one of the thinnest smart watches on the market and ideal for everyday wear.
Unlike other smartwatches, which are literally counting down the hours until they go dead, Nowa did things differently. Their hybrid smartwatch only needs to connect to a phone when it’s being synced and stores activity data to its internal storage in the interim.
This allows it to run off a standard CR2025 battery for up to 8 months when using the smart features. If used purely as an analog watch the battery’s good for up to 2 years.
Part of Nowa’s mission statement is keeping the pricing of their watches fair and accessible. Selling direct to consumer allows them to keep prices down by removing the markup. Superbe is their second successful crowdfunding project and has already surpassed its funding goal by more than 2x.
The future retail price of the Superbe watch is $214, but backers can currently get their wrists inside this slick timepiece for the Indiegogo special of $122.
