Yesterday we showed you
ARCHOS' planned system of what it calls
Connected Devices, designed to turn your ordinary home into something Jetson-esque. Today
ARCHOS began teasing a line of Smartwatches they also plans to unveil at the
Consumer Electronic Show (CES).
ARCHOS U.S. website has but a sole image of the
watch displaying the time and
date of 2:02,
JAN 5th with a "coming soon"
teaser in the corner and the promise that the
watches are "The Perfect Companions for Your SmartPhone."
It is unclear if any
ARCHOS Smartwatch will connect with ARCHOS'
Connected Devices network. It seems like the logical next step for the company considering the timing of the two product
lines' announcements. But it also seems like
ARCHOS would be upfront about if it felt the two products had impressive cross device features. We will simply have to wait until
CES on January 7th or January 5th (The
date on the
watch ARCHOS showed off) to find out more.
The
watch in the
teaser appears to have a rubber band, a body with one curved and one flat side with two physical buttons and a clear, black and white LCD screen. In the
press release on ARCHOS' U.K. site announcing the
Connected Devices,
ARCHOS slipped in a short paragraph about the watches, saying "[The]smartwatches [will be]starting at under £50." (83USD, 60EUR) and that they will stress "simplicity and function" while being compatible with both Android and iOS.
The planned line of smartwatches are not the only wearable ARCHOS has planned. The upcoming Connected Devices system includes a fitness tracker and blood pressure monitor.
