Citizen's "Eco Drive Bluetooth" (official page, news article), which is scheduled to be released on December 9, 2016, is scheduled to be released on a limited number of 3,000 units worldwide.It is a smart watch on analog display.It has been a focus on optical power (eco -drive) = user does not require charging, but we had a chance to try the actual machine before the release, so please report a little.
シチズンの「エコ・ドライブ Bluetooth (型番:BZ1025-02E)」。専用アプリによりスマートフォンなどと連係動作するスマートウォッチです。時刻などの表示は本格的なアナログタイプ。周囲の光により発電する「光発電エコ・ドライブ」搭載なので、電源に接続しての充電は不要です。メーカー価格は8万円(税別)、実質5万円台で予約受付をしているショップもあるようです。At first glance, it looks like a luxury chronograph watch with a deeply carved dial, but it seems to be a smart watch that has been compatible with Bluetooth.As will be described in detail later, if you use a dedicated application (Android and iOS version) on the smartphone side, you can send notifications from your smartphone to your wristwatch.When an email comes or a message arrives on SNS, it is a notification function that shows a specific position by the wristwatch shaking.You can also set a watch function from your smartphone.
The main specification as a watch is the case diameter of 48.0mm, case thickness 15.5mm (design value), mass 130.8G (actual measured value including attached band), monthly difference ± 15 seconds, 10 aTM waterproof.The case is made of stainless steel and the band is made of urethane.The glass that covers the dial is a sapphire glass with no reflective coating.
As mentioned above, it operates by generating and storing electricity by surrounding light.If you put it without charging after fully charged (does not hit the light), the time until the clock stops is about 9 months when the smartphone is linked function, and about one year and six months when smartphones are used.
For each Watakushi, I use "Proximity (Model: AT7035-01E)" (related article), which is the conventional model (not released in Japan).From the perspective of conventional model users, this new model has the impression that it has become easier to use due to the evolution of the app.Good ~ new model.After all, I would like to write about the functions and usability of the new model "Eco Drive Bluetooth".
