Marc Jacobs has released an Android Wear version of
it Riley watch (the original was a hybrid). Details are a little messy right
now as it seems that retailer Target has mixed up the specs of the smart and
the hybrid Riley watches.
Anyway, the Marc Jacobs Riley Touchscreen sports a
1.19” AMOLED display, the casing measures 42 mm. It’s made of aluminum and is
available in Black, Gold/White and Rose Gold/Cement color options. The wrist
straps are made of silicon on all versions.
Battery capacity is not listed, but officially it
should last 24 hours and charges fully in 2 hours. The usual Snapdragon Wear
2100 chipset is used, no word on RAM and storage (the norm is 512 MB / 4 GB).
The Riley Touchscreen is IP67 water resistant and
features activity tracking. It doesn’t seem to have a heart rate sensor,
however. The pricing of US$ 295 seems a bit steep, but if it sounds reasonable to
you, you can grab one from the official Marc Jacobs site or Target. The
retailer also lists a “Black with Blitz” version for US$ 350 that is not available
on the official site.
