Vector Watch Promises 30 Day Battery Life; Compatible With Android, iOS & Windows

When the big guns in the industry who have worked at Timex and Nike collaborate with a company, the product that they create is one of finesse. Here's a brand called Vector launched as a result of partnership between Steve Jarvis, ex-designer at Nike, Joe Santana, ex-CEO of Timex; Steve Jarvis, ex designer at Nike and Andrei Pitis, the CTO at Vector. At the Basel's jewellery event in Switzerland, Vector Watch was launched as a new smart timepiece that should compete with the likes of Apple Watch and Moto 360. The Vector smartwatch is not only compatible with the three most popular operating systems - Android, Windows and iOS (for running apps, alarms and notifications), it has taken a lot of people by surprise with the promise of a battery life that lasts 30 days.

Operating on the Vector system, the Vector watch has been unveiled in two form factors - the round-faced Luna and the rectangular Meridian designs. To suit the preferences of the customers, the Vector Watch can be bought in different kinds of steel finishes and get either leather or link straps. If you like to keep your options open, you can even use the bands interchangeably. The company wants to keep the design minimal with a focus on what a wrist watch is basically supposed to do - show time. The smarter features such as showing appointment from the calendar will be displayed along the edges of the smartwatch and notifications can be sensed by a small vibration. This is followed by the message which is visible as long as the wearers raises their watch arm. Take a look at the three designs below -

Coming back to the most impressive feature on the Vector Watch, the 30 day battery life claim. That has been made possible with the use of the low-power consuming custom OS and the monochrome memory LCD screen. The company wants developers to create various apps for the Vector watch platform. Moreover, since these smartwatches follow the If This Then That (IFTTT) web based service, users can customize their commands for conducting specific functions on their watches.

Coming to the pricing, the Vector Watch Luna model is going to retail at $349 and the Meridian model will sell at $199. The company hasn't announced a release date as of now. What are your thoughts on the Vector Watch's features and pricing? Share with us in comments below.

    Oh. Come on Nikey and Timex. Why are you guys copying the same boring "elegance" on design??? Show us some sportive and adventure filled designs with a bit of thicker metal dial with bumps to protect the screen and rubber G-shock type grip. As it is we "normal" people hate smart watches. There's nothing great about them. Maybe a lazer on one end to use during presentation would be an added coolness or an led torch light other than on the screen.

    I have a watch which has it all (led torch light which was umpteen times useful to me than my phone, metal thick dial and sporty grip strap) but is not smart - its a Fasttrack and costs INR2700.
