So-called hybrid watches are often just glorified fitness trackers.
The Misfit Command may be the first to combine the classic looks of an
analog watch with some more advanced functionality than buzzing when
your phone is ringing.
The command can vibrate on call, of course, but the sub-dial at 6
o’clock offers more info. The hand will point at an appropriate icon
when an event occurs – a call, text, notification and so on (it’s
customizable).
When there’s nothing of note, the hand indicates your progress for
the day. The watch can track steps taken, distance traveled and calories
burned. It’s also waterproof up to 50m (it tracks swim distance and
counts laps) and can monitor the duration and quality of your sleep.
With the Smart button, you can trigger simple actions on your phone –
control the music player, snap a selfie and so on. It can also switch
to a second time zone. The Misfit app will making sure the watch is set
to the correct time.
All this and you get a full year of battery life (thanks, Bluetooth LE). It’s a standard CR2430 coin cell.
Anyway, the Misfit Command itself has a 44mm case made out of
stainless steel (it’s 15mm thick). The watch uses standard 20mm straps,
so you can swap them out whenever you like. It comes in Black, Silver
and Gold. The Silver version is available with a metal bracelet, the
others come with a sport strap.
You can pre-order the Command now, it will ship in a week (November 28).
It costs $112 / €150 with a sport strap. The metal bracelet brings the
price up to $128 / €170 -it seems like there’s a promo in the US.
