Touch watch swatch touch zero one review. SWatch V700 black Bluetooth smart watch phone MTK6572 Reviews. Data transfer and connections
The display is liquid crystal and quite simple, segmented. Time display, pedometer, date - not a lot of interesting things can be obtained from the device right away. Yes, there are watches for a second time zone, but it's not anything extraordinary. Touch Zero One is a watch, although specific, but smart. A number is used for control touch buttons under the main display unit, and it is thanks to them that you can connect the watch via Bluetooth to a special application, which will display all the necessary statistics.
The app is available for both iOS and Android and is somewhat of a personal trainer. You can set yourself goals that you want to achieve, see the distances you've covered in a convenient and attractive interface, and appreciate two unexpected things. This is the number and strength of hits on the ball in volleyball and the activity and strength of applause. 
All this is activated in the menu of the watch itself, you simply turn on the required mode and start playing with the ball. And then you can safely activate the wireless connection and transfer this information to the application on your smartphone. The force of the blow is taken into account in points from 0 to 99, and some statistics are created from this. At first, however, it was not possible to figure out the controls and I even had to look at the instructions to understand that the sensors respond not to taps, but to swipes. 
The same statistics are created for... applause process. That is, it determines how much of a fan you are. You sit in the stands, clap, try, and then you can easily see how much of a true fan you are. The energy of cotton and their quantity are demonstrated. This can now be used not only in volleyball, but also at concerts, somewhere else... A specific thing, but an interesting one. 
Well, there’s not much point in talking about the pedometer and calories burned. Everything is tracked, everything is displayed. After all, most users of fitness trackers and smart bracelets You don't even need notifications. But keeping track of the number of steps is a trend. This is interesting. Here Swatch chose a niche very, very correctly. The watch can be made in a dozen color variations, is waterproof and, due to its simplicity and intermittent connection with a smartphone, can work for a very, very long time with a regular CR2302. 
Modern, youthful, without pretense of being too reasonable, with a feature and priced at $150. For those who either find the LG Watch Urbane redundant or the Mi Band not high-status enough, this is just the thing. It’s a pity that it doesn’t track sleep, but sleeping with a watch on is also not a very smart thing to do. So if you are looking for a watch with a name, want to get a pedometer, are a fan of the brand, or just love beach volleyball or applaud at concerts - Swatch Touch Zero One. Swiss, again. And bright. Like a piece of a bygone summer...
– is preparing to introduce its own OS for smartwatches.
According to the developers, thanks to their system platform Swatch will be able to enter into competition with Apple and Google. According to Nick Hayek (director of Swatch), which he made in an interview with Bloomberg, the proprietary OS will feature more efficient power consumption and an improved security system for users’ personal information.
In addition, the head of Swatch noted that even at the development stage, many specialists are showing high interest in Swatch OS (more than 100 requests for additional information about the upcoming platform). At the same time, there are those who are skeptical about the Swatch venture and doubt its ability to compete with Android Wear and iOS, as it is extremely difficult.
Presumably, the first smartwatches based on the proprietary OS will be released under the Tissot brand, and this will happen by the end of 2018.
As you know, quite recently Mr. Hayek’s reviews of the release of such accessories were far from flattering. The general director considered the hype created around such devices to be unjustified. According to him (at that time), due to the small display and the need for constant recharging smart watch are an absolutely useless accessory. For what reason the opinion of the head of the company changed dramatically remains a mystery.
Let us remind you that the Swatch brand is controlled by the world's largest watch manufacturer - the Swiss holding Swatch Group. He also owns watches under the brands Blancpain, Breguet, Mido, cK Watch, Omega, Longines, Rado, Tissot, Certina, Kassaw, Swatch, as well as several companies engaged in research and production of watch movements and other parts.
Swatch intends to release its own smart watch model
- 31.07.2014 16:41
According to one of the recent publications, Apple is purposefully looking for partners among Swiss watchmakers in order to jointly create the long-awaited “smart” watches.
It was even reported that some kind of agreement was reached with Swatch (the largest watch company), but then Swatch refused the proposed cooperation. Moreover, the turn of events was completely unexpected. As it turned out from an interview with the head of the company, Nick Hayek, to one of the Swiss publications, Swatch’s reluctance to take part in the production of iWatch is explained by its intention to release its own “smart” watches.
The basis for the new product will be the existing Swatch Touch model (electronic plastic watch), which will be equipped with the necessary set of sensors. It is still unknown about synchronizing the future gadget with other mobile devices (it is possible that it will be an independent device).
The release of the upgraded Swatch Touch is scheduled for early 2015. Let us remind you that the original version of the gadget was released 3 years ago and comes with touch screen, which, along with displaying the current time, has the functions of a calendar, alarm clock and chronograph.
March 26, 2015, the day Apple announced the date of the press conference dedicated to the start of sales Apple Watch, CEO of the Swiss watch giant Swatch Group Nick Hayek said that in the summer the brand, known throughout the world for inexpensive plastic watches, will also present its version of “smart” watches.
Hayek, by a strong-willed decision, combined the two purchases into one, naming the newly formed group Société (SMH), which later became the Swatch Group, and appointed its first CEO Thomke, a scientist and marketing genius who for several years struggled to produce a competitive quartz movement, training employees to work completely automated lines with great productivity and high quality standards.The very economic circumstances in which Hayek and Thomke found themselves prompted them to take the first step that needed to be taken in a new market for them. In 1983, the first collection of 12 watches was presented, priced from 39.9 to 49.9 Swiss francs quartz movement, but with an analog dial. Affordable unusual watches in colored or translucent cases could be the first, second, or third. This is where the slogan “Swatch – Second Watch” came from, denoting a new approach to a familiar thing. In the first year, a million Swatch watches were sold, and in the second - already 2.5 million. Swatch not only gradually eliminated Asian quartz from the market, but turned out to be a real goldmine for Hayek, thanks to which old watch manufactories were brought back to life (from Jaquet Droz to Breguet).
Against the backdrop of nervous excitement and frenzied competition among gadget manufacturers, and the fear that gripped Swiss watchmakers due to the popularity electronic watch, the announcement of the launch of the next “smart watches” by the Swatch brand further heated the atmosphere.
The Touch Zero One model, which just went on sale in Moscow, is also a “smart” watch, but in a different way. They do not compete with the latest technical innovations, but rather belong to a line of fitness trackers that are popular among athletes and people leading an active lifestyle. Based on the first Swatch Touch watch with a touch screen, released back in 2011, all its functions are controlled via a smartphone using the app of the same name. It is possible to set the time in two time zones, the date and alarm clock, as well as a timer. There is an opportunity to choose one of the virtual trainers, the option of an imaginary walking trip to one of the capitals of the world - and off you go. Every time you start the program, you will know how much distance (in meters and steps) you have walked and how many calories you have lost. One of the main advantages of the watch is the fact that it does not require frequent charging (the “original” battery lasts on average 8-9 months). Like all Swatch products, the new watch is waterproof. They come in four vibrant color versions, with both rubber buckle straps and soft elastic bracelets suitable for volleyball (Swatch has been the sponsor and timekeeper of the World Beach Volleyball Tournament since 2003).
According to Hayek, “the goal was not to create a complex wrist computer for all occasions or dependent on other companies. Consumers often want a gadget that is simple, but capable of performing several other narrow tasks beyond just displaying the time.” Although it is already known that for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Swatch will have new “smart” watches with the ability to pay for purchases without cash, and also capable of opening doors and combination locks instead of a key. True, some competitors also have similar functions. Concluding his speech at the press conference, Hayek Jr. also noted that the Apple Watch is “an interesting toy, but not a revolution.” And then the question arose: “Nick, when will the revolution happen?” But so far he remains unanswered. Perhaps before new version Swatch Touch.
