The new Diesel MDJ Fadelite limited
edition is finally available for purchase in the United States. Unveiled early
this year at CES 2020, the smartwatch is based on the Wear OS platform and
powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset. The smartwatch costs just US$ 270 and can be purchased via Diesel stores, online at www.diesel.com, and from
select retailers across the US.
Diesel Fadelite features a smaller 43mm
case size and comes with a transparent strap that's available in four
colorways: red to black, black to clear, blue to clear, and all clear with an
iridescent case. The hardware is encased in a translucent hardshell nylon case
that should provide durability while maintaining the lightweight feel.
The smartwatch features the so-called
“Globe” dial that allows users to manipulate it with just a touch. The moving
globe lets you add two more time zones to be shown on the dial. Furthermore,
Diesel Fadelite comes with weather effects and interactive dial animations that
show real-time weather conditions.
Specs-wise, the Fadelite sports a rather
small 1.19-inch display (390 x 390 pixels resolution), untethered GPS,
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, accelerometer, altimeter, ambient light, LED
flash, 4GB of storage, 512MB RAM, integrated heart rate sensor, gyroscope, and
NFC payments support.
Also, Diesel Fadelite's battery should
provide about 24 hours of usage time, as well as 2 additional days with battery
saving mode. It's also worth mentioning that the smartwatch works with phones
running Android 6.0 and up (excluding Go Edition) or iOS 12.0 and newer.
