Boldr Voyage - a wristwatch that refuses to be smart even though it is

The biggest weakness of smartwatches is that they look like smartwatches. It is clear as day that you have a miniature computer on your wrist. The Boldr Voyage, meanwhile, is billed as an intelligent watch rather than a smartwatch, as it's basically a quartz wristwatch that's just smart enough to tell you what's going on with your phone. In addition, it has a six-month autonomy, which is much longer than smartwatches that need a power source every few days or weeks.

Wristwatch Bolder Voyage acts as fashion accessory and not as a diminutive a computer on your wrist, although they share quite a few features with the smartwatch. It has a built-in pedometer and tracks your activities (counts steps, calculates calories burned, evaluates distance covered, etc.) and wireless technology Bluetooth 4.0, through which it sends collected data to a dedicated mobile application. A degree of its own daily activities you can also follow the watches that inspired it on the watch face itself pilot wristwatches. The numbers indicating the time reveal how active you were. 1 means 0 percent, 12 100 percent.

The Boldr Voyage quartz watch, which is also smart.

But this does not stop drawing parallels with the smart watch. Boldr Voyage also informs you if you are forgot the phone. At home, in a taxi, in a restaurant, in a cinema,... The next feature is quite Bond-esque, as it has a clock "license" for taking photos with a smartphone. It also serves as remote trigger for the smartphone camera. Press the crown (but not that of Queen Elizabeth) and the scene is immortalized.

Boldr Voyage is made stainless steel and waterproof to a depth of 30 meters, which is also due to the fact that its contact surfaces are refined using the method of physical application of extremely thin material surfaces (PVD). It will be available matte or shiny version with a rich range of quilted leather straps.

The Boldr Voyage fits women's and men's wrists beautifully.

As for the battery, actually two batteries, to be precise, the situation is as follows. It's here replaceable CR2032 battery that powers the smart parts of the watch and it lasts six months without power, and then there's another separate one battery to drive the quartz movement, which guarantees an autonomy of three years. For (calculated) 115 euros the watch will soon be available to order on Kickstarter, where he will apply for start-up funds on August 29, 2015.
