Kairos Smartwatch / Mechanical Hybrid Watch Offical Debut
Introducing the Kairos - the "mechanical smart watch hybrid." There will be two version of this smartwatch mechanical automatic timepiece hybrid. The base movement on the dial is either a Japanese Miyota or Swiss Soprod automatic. On top of it is a semi-transparent screen for all the smartwatch functionality.
Yeah and it's $500, no thanks!
That is impressive but as pointed out it is going to cost mega bucks.
This doesn't look that different from a Pebble Steel which is half the price and I still think its over priced for what it is.
That is exactly what I've been asking for in a smart watch (maybe they read my rants!), since the digital screen only watches look kind of stupid IMO. Too bad the watch dial it's self isn't my style, but hopefully someone will do a similar watch with a more classic looking dial. And, you know, for less than $500 bucks.
I think $500 is in the "normal standard price range" for such mechanical watch even without the "smart fictions" ... if something similar comes around 250$-300$ i think it will be a bargin ... i should stop wasting my money on alcohol :D
What the Moto 360 isn't an already nice looking smart watch?

I don't get the point of any kind of smart or dumb wristwatches when there are smartphones.
I don't have to pull my phone out of my pocket just to see what time it is (or see a text or who is calling etc in the case of smart watches). Also, analog watches look nice.
Nope. It looks better than most smart watches, but doesn't look anywhere near as good as a decent analog watch.
LOL I use this same argument to almost buy a pebble on more then one occasion ... but then I realize I'm spending 100+ bucks on first world problems
A watch is a statement to your personality not just something to tell time its a beautiful engineering masterpice and much more useful to tell the time then a phone for me. :)
