With wrist watches not quite as appealing today if they merely function to tell time, many are being redesigned to keep in pace with rapidly developing technology. One of the aspects that makers are concentrating on is by trying to improve digital interconnectivity with other portable devices. This is certainly what the cookoo Watch is aiming for.
The cookoo Watch is more than just a typical wrist watch. According to its designer Peter Hauser, this unique wristwatch aims to connect you with your smartphone even while you have it in your pocket. This allows you to be alerted when you receive a text message, a call, email, and alerts from your social network accounts. The watch face comes with those typical icons that light up signifying alerts that your smartphone may be receiving. This way you need not take out your smartphone out of your pocket every time you need to check it if something comes up. The cookoo Watch can even alert you if your smartphone is running out of battery.
The cookoo Watch connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0. It allows smartphone users to be alerted of information at a glance, eliminating the need to frequently take out the smartphone out of the pocket. The cookoo Watch is currently a design project at Kickstarter. Production will push through after it is able to come up with the target funds. A US$50 pledge will entitle one to a black cookoo Watch once production is underway. Retail of the cookoo Watch is expected to be around US$100 if ever it becomes available in the market.
