Tencent Digital (Wen Xin) According to Forbes website, smart watches are becoming more and more popular. In the third quarter of 2016, global smart watch sales exceeded 6.1 million, an increase of 60% year-on-year. However, one of the major obstacles preventing smartwatches from becoming popular among ordinary consumers is battery life.
However, if Matrix Powerwatch smart watch manufacturers say is true, this issue will become history. PowerWatch is the world's first smart watch that never needs charging, and it is also the first smart watch integrated with a power meter that can display the user's power generation. Powerwatch uses thermoelectric technology to convert thermal energy into electricity. NASA (NASA) adopted this technology on the Voyager Detector and Curiosity Rover.
Powerwatch uses the heat of the user's body to generate electricity and power itself.
Forbes said that unlike products running Android Wear or other software, Powerwatch is not a full-featured smart watch, but it can measure calories burned, walking steps and sleep quality, due to the direct analysis of heat used to generate electricity. Burning calories, Powerwatch has more accurate calorie data than other fitness trackers. When the user is not wearing Powerwatch will enter a low-power mode, storing user statistics.
The Powerwatch team stated that this is only the first product they developed. Anne Ruminski, senior engineer, said, “We plan to use this energy harvesting technology in the IoT and wearable devices industries to ease battery charging/replacement pain points and help reduce business costs. We also plan to introduce Medical equipment, hearing aids and smart logistics systems that do not require batteries."
According to Forbes, Powerwatch offers multiple dials, all of which show an electric power meter generated by the user's body. The Powerwatch material is a rugged aviation-grade aluminum alloy that can operate normally even under 50 meters of water, making it particularly suitable for swimming. The supporting application supports iOS and Android and can display all the information collected by Powerwatch. Powerwatch can also be synchronized with Google Fit or Apple Healthkit.
PowerWatch can synchronize with smartphones via wireless technology, automatically adjusts to current time zone, and has a dial that can be replaced. It can track user activity and sleep, detect burning calories, walking steps and sleep quality. Pressing the button displays micro applications such as timers and stopwatches.
PowerWatch will use different dials according to the user's mood.
Indiegogo stated that PowerWatch synchronizes with MATRIX iOS and Android applications through wireless technology. The application can show the calories burned by the user, the number of walking steps, and whether the rest is good at night. It can even show the electric power generated by the user, the weekly trend, and the record of the entire time. Users can also share data with their friends and play games with their friends. Whoever burns the most calories and has the most power.
Powerwatch sells for $99 (about RMB 678) on Indiegogo, and the suggested retail price is $169.99 (about RMB1164). The delivery time is expected to be July 2017.
