If you happen find a conventional digital watch too obtrusive with its
pedestrian “always-on” display and audible alarm, the Mutewatch might
just be
the solution. The Mutewatch is a single piece rubberized watch from a
Stockholm,
Sweden based company of the same name. This one-size -fits-all
minimalist watch incorporates a capacitive touchscreen, an led segment
display, a
motion sensor, and a
vibrating alarm. There are no buttons and the screen is activated by
flicking your wrist (presumably similar to the Auto-EL
feature
on G-Shocks) or touching the screen. Once the watch is visually active
you can swipe between the clock, an alarm or a timer. Setting the
functions is as easy as tapping and sliding the digits you would like to
change.
The stand-out feature for the Mutewatch will be the vibrating alarm which can actively adjust its strength given data from the motion sensor. The Mutewatch is powered by an
internal battery which is rated for 1-2 weeks of use depending on the
application
(more vibration and screen use will render less battery life).
Replenishing the battery’s charge is done via a usb connection and a
fill up should take about 2 hours. The Mutewatch is a rare example of a
product
that looks like a design study but is still going into production. The
combination of $259 and 5-6 weeks of your patience will land you a
Mutewatch in your choice of red,
grey or white.
