Tencent Digital (Wen Xin) According to SlashGear's website, wearable device maker Misfit released a phase smart watch named Phase Hybrid on October 18th, enriching its product line. Misfit said that the Phase Hybrid's design was inspired by classical style, mimicking the design of an analog watch. This is also the first smart watch product launched by Misfit, traditionally known as a fitness bracelet.
Phase Hybrid has all the smart watch features we have come to expect. Misfit said that with the 3-axis accelerometer, the Phase Hybrid can record the number of steps taken by the user, distance, and related data while sleeping. Accelerometers can be used with Misfit's own “verified algorithms and scientific library files†to ensure data accuracy. Similar to other excellent fitness wristbands, Phase Hybrid also reminds the user to get up and remind the user to seize the event after sitting for a long time.
SlashGear said that in addition to the features surrounding fitness, users can also push phones, text messages, and application notifications on smartphones to Phase Hybrid. Phase Hybrid can also be used as a media remote control. Users can control music playback and mobile camera through the watch interface. Misfit said that Phase Hybrid battery life is as long as six months, it has excellent water resistance, and it can work properly in water up to 50 meters deep.
In essence, Phase Hybrid has taken Misfit a step forward in the field of fitness wristbands and places a lot of emphasis on design. Phase Hybrid is in stark contrast to the industrial design of smart watches such as Apple Watch. In my opinion, the Phase Hybrid looks very beautiful. Misfit claims that it has six colors to choose from - enough to appeal to some users.
Misfit said that Phase Hybrid has an integrated lug, which makes it compatible with any 20 mm strap. The level of customization allows the Phase Hybrid to gain a place in the highly competitive smart watch market. SlashGear said that for users who do not like smart watches such as the Apple Watch with a shorter battery life, the longer battery life of Phase Hybrid may be very attractive.
Although Misfit has not disclosed details of the sale, Phase Hybrid will accept bookings from November 7th. Phase Hybrid sells for 175 US dollars (about 1178 yuan).
