RAZER NABU WATCH: Not a smartwatch but a watch that’s smart!

From the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show (CES)  2016, RAZER had officially unveiled their latest gadget,  the Razer Nabu Watch. The Razer Nabu Watch is a full-featured digital timepiece that has a secondary screen that allows notifications from

your smartphone streamed to your watch. Aside from telling time, the Razer Nabu Watch tracks fitness and sleep activity via an in-built accelerometer.

Most smartwatches have to deal with battery issues which the Razer Nabu addressed by focusing its primary function on it being a digital chronograph and smart features as its secondary addition. A secondary screen outfitted in the Razer Nabu Watch delivers all the features of a Nabu wearable, including discreet notifications, fitness tracking and watch-to-watch communication.

The Nabu is paired to a user’s smartphone via Bluetooth connectivity; calls, sms, e-mails and application alerts all stream to the secondary screen for ease of viewing.

Fitness enthusiasts will be delighted to know that the Razer Nabu Watch has an in-built accelerometer enables comprehensive fitness tracking – steps walked, distance traveled, calories burned and more.

A feature unique to the Nabu is its watch-to-watch communication capability, two Nabu Watch users can shake hands to exchange Facebook and Twitter info easily. This feature works interchangeably between any Nabu Watch, Nabu and/or Nabu X. The watch’s secondary screen has seven days of rechargeable battery life via an included charging cable.

“We’re bringing together the reliability and incredible functionality of a digital timepiece, with added smart features to empower the tech enthusiasts of today. We’re also just really excited to create a digital watch that we’re proud to call our own – a natural intersection between our popular work in apparel and wearables. This was something our fans have asked for, and we’re happy to deliver.” says Razer CEO and co-founder, Min-Liang Tan.
