Alcatel Movetime WiFi
Watch
Alcatel's presence at IFA
isn't limited to just a few tablets and a VR headset. The company has also
brought an entire new line of connected accessories, under the common name
Move.
The device is still based on Alcatel's
own OS, and not Android Wear, but given the somewhat limited number of things
you can do with a smartwatch to begin with, that shouldn't be much of an issue.
It's built around a
1.39-inch AMOLED display with 400 x 400 pixels, and that sure does sound an
awful lot like the Asus Zenwatch 3's screen, in turn possibly shared with the
Huawei Watch. Alcatel is quiet on such details as chipset and battery, though.
The name of the Movetime
WiFi gives it away - it has Wi-Fi connectivity (b/g/n), and also Bluetooth, but
no cellular. It can still be used for voice calls, as it has a speaker and a
mic, it just needs to be paired to an actual phone.
There's also a Moveband
for when telling time is of lesser importance, and you just want a basic
activity tracker to record distance, pace, time, calories, sleep - the usual
stuff. Movetrack, on the other hand, is not for your wrist, but instead for
keeping track of luggage, keys, or pets - this GPS tracker can give real-time
location for up to 4 days on a charge. And then Move Track&Talk is an
updated version of the company's CareTime watch for children, allowing for
voice calls, and again GPS tracking.
There's no detailed info
on pricing and availability just yet.
