At first glance it might look like an iPod Nano knock-off, with its grid, 4-icon interface, but after closer inspection it’s actually Android 1.6 running on a tiny screen (which looks very cute – especially when it comes to pulling down the notifications tray). It sports a relatively weak battery life (2 days standby or half a day with heavy usage) so don’t expect to go for days without charging.
The key features as you can see in the video is:
- 464 MHz i.MX233 CPU
- 64 MB 166 MHz LPDDR RAM
- 4 GB eMMC Flash Drive
- Battery powered
- Bluetooth
- 1.54" 220 dpi 240 x 240 display
- Integrated mic and 1W speaker
- Stereo jack for audio, USB and recharge
- Capacitive touch screen
Upon making a connection with your device, the I’m Watch gives you access to multiple applications, like Facebook, Twitter, Email, and text messages. It is even possible to answer incoming calls with it, much like those classic science fiction movies we all love. This Android watch connects to your device via bluetooth, but it can also sync through WiFi hotspot.
The price for one of these spy watches will be €249 (around US$360), which is a bit of an investment, but it is a very cool and convenient gadget to have. If you feel luxurious though, there is also the I’m Jewel, which is available in 6 different colors – yellow gold, pink gold, white gold & diamonds, titanium, black gold, and special. Now these fancy boys start at a whooping €599 (about US$860), and can go higher depending on the design. If you want the Rolex of the Android world, this may be the way to go.
Check out their website for even more details, and let us know what you think of these new watches. Do you think you will be getting one of these (They are available for pre-order here)? If so, which color and design do you prefer?
