Hannspree watch

Hannspree releases cheapest fitness tracking wearable

One of the big topics surrounding wearables since Apple debuted its smart watch, is cost. With the cheap versions of the hardware costing a few hundred pounds and the most premium almost £9,000, the fruity firm is taking a big gamble that people are happy to put style over substance; but of course that’s a roll of the dice that has paid off for Apple many times before. Taiwanese manufacturer Hannspree is going down a different route with its new wearable though, making it so cheap that anyone can afford one.
Priced at just £30, Hannspree’s unimaginatively named Sports Watch, is perhaps the cheapest fully featured fitness tracker available. Even though it costs less than half the price of most other sports orientated wearables, it has the ability to track your location and therefore distance travelled, calories burned and steps taken. It can even keep an eye on you while you’re asleep, with all collected information stored locally and sent to the companion application which works on both iOS and Android smartphones.

Hardly a fashion item, the Sports Watch has a streamlined approach to everything
Hannspree keeps the cost down on this wearable by omitted certain features like a heart rate monitor and GPS tracking, but it does come with a small display (measuring 0.68 inches across) and can give you notifications of calls and texts sent to your phone. The battery is even said to last up to 10 days at a time in ideal scenarios.

Sem muitas funções dos aparelhos de marca e bem mais económico.

Interessante, mas o GPS e o monitor cardíaco são importantes para quem faz desporto e usa uma destas coisas para monitorizar a sua condição.

Desde que vi os primeiros aparelhos destes que fiquei interessado, mas o preço sempre foi proibitivo.
Pode ser que a partir de agora comecemos a ver uma descida acentuada de preços e a massificação da tecnologia.
