Asus unveil its new smartwatch: VivoWatch with 10-day battery life
Asus unveiled its new smartwatch: VivoWatch, during Milan Design Week.
The pulse of life: A watch to care for you and your family – VivoWatch
- Built-in heart rate sensor
- 10-day battery life
- IP67 water resistance
- Look after your family – Stay up-to-date with the wellness of loved ones.
- Know your heart – Continuously and accurately monitor your heart rate and track your activity.
- Exercise smarter – A convenient LED indicator shows when you are effectively burning calories
Asus VivoWatch will have a battery which can last up to ten days on a single charge (compared to, say, Apple Watch which has a 18 hour Apple a1322 battery life), delivers 10-day battery life in normal mode and up to 24 hours in fitness mode with active heart rate tracking.
Asus VivoWatch features exclusive VivoPulse technology, which uses the built-in optical sensor to continuously, accurately, and safely monitor your heart rate without the need to wear an uncomfortable chest strap. ASUS VivoWatch uses these precise heart rate measurements to show you the number of calories you burn each day and provide helpful insights into your exercise and sleep quality. And also received the IP67 certificate, meaning it will be waterproof and dustproof, and judging by the previously published images of the device, it will use a black and white display and won’t work on the Android Wear platform. ASUS VivoWatch easily synchronizes with your smartphone or PC, letting you see your full exercise history, sleep quality analysis, and achievements in detail.
As the smartwatch battle starts heating up, there are a number of factors coming into play and turning out to be key in creating the perfect device.
Usability seems to be fairly low down the line, with battery longevity and pricing coming on top. That’s why all of the currently big smartphone manufacturers, including FitBit with Surge, Pebble with its Pebble Time, Basis with Peak and Garmin with Vivoactive, offer devices with a somewhat ‘generous’ Asus a32-f5 battery life.
‘Generous’ means Garmin’s device can last up to three weeks, with others up to a week. This places the VivoWatch among the longer lasting devices, especially compared to the Apple Watch, currently the hottest smartwatch out there.
