Guess Tries To Stay In The Game, Launches First Smartwatch
Guess is still ticking and fighting to remain relevant. In those hopes the company has teamed up with Martian Smartwatches to produce the Guess Connect. The company is trying to improve Connect’s odds in the market place by basing it off of Guess’s most popular watch design, Rigor. The watch operates as two separate entities, a clock and a small notification screen. The clock is a standard mechanical setup with a replaceable battery with 2 year battery life. The notification screen recharges via micro-USB and will have a considerable shorter battery life. While you loose a lot of the interaction Android Wear devices provide, you can also have faith that you will still be able to read the time at the end of a long work day. The Connect is expected to be able to display push notifications and have some form of voice control. It should launch sometime this summer for around $300.
