　Looking at smart watches such as Android Wear and Apple Watch, smartwatches tend to think that full -colored displays are commonplace, but that is not always the case.If you narrow down the function to "notification" or "activity tracker", you will not need a large screen, so you will have a different style from Android Wear and Apple Watch.

　Kronoz's "ZECLOCK" is also a product that gives a unique design.At first glance, it looks just an analog watch, but it is a clear smartwatch that is linked to the smartphone with Bluetooth.

　The basics of ZECLOCK are notification functions.When a new notification arrives at the smartphone app, ZECLOCK will notify you with a vibe and sound.The vibe at this time is reasonably strong, so you will rarely notice the notification.iOS uses the "Apple Notification Center Service (ANCS)" notification transfer function, and Android uses access to notifications, so you can receive almost all app notifications.

　ZECLOCK has a limited display area on the display, so you cannot check the details of the notification.If ZECLOCK trembles, you will use it to take out your smartphone and check it on the screen.

　The notification function is only a few functions of ZECLOCK, but I personally think that it is a function that will be a key.Especially if you carry a smartphone in your bag, if you have such a notification device, it will be difficult to miss the notification.It would be nice to have ZECLOCK for that.

　In addition to the notification function, ZECLOCK has functions such as voice calls, audio commands, pedometer, camera remote shutters, and forgiveness.Although it does not support the addition of applications like Android Wear or Apple Watch, it can be said that it is quite highly functional except for notifications.

　In addition to notifications, various functions are installed, so charging is required to use.Charging is a form that connects a microUSB terminal to a dedicated adapter, so if you have a multi -USB charger, it will be easy to charge along with other devices.It is possible to wait for 4 days in a row with a single charge, but it seems better to wear a habit of charging every day.

　The analog clock part uses a button battery (SR626W), which lasts for about 2 years.Even if you forget to charge, the function as a watch will not be lost (unless the battery runs out).By the way, the smartphone linked part and the analog clock part are independent, so it is not possible to synchronize the time between the smartphone and the analog clock.

　Considering a pure watch, Android Wear and Apple Watch are often inconvenient.The screen is not always displayed in a color display, so it is necessary to swing the arms up or operate the button to check the time (some models are always displayed, but the battery is bad).In comparison, ZECLOCK has an analog board, so it is not difficult to use as a watch.

　ZECLOCK incorporates a smart device function in a wristwatch, which is a bit different from Android Wear and Apple Watch with smart devices.For those who are particular about analog watches but want to use the Bluetooth linking function, this ZECLOCK is a smart watch that should be used as an option.
