Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart

Do you think that Apple Watch is not stylish enough for you? If you think so, perhaps you can take a look at this smartwatch. Made in Switzerland, Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart still retains all the characters of traditional watch elegance.

Physically, Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart looks similar to a traditional watch. This smartwatch doesn't carry a digital screen, it's only coated by sapphire crystal glass, you will only see a number of dials along with indicator that's written in Helvetica font, as the name suggests. The strap is made of genuine leather, while the case is made of premium and solid stainless steel.

Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart is designed waterproof up to a depth of 30 meters, inside this smartwatch there is MotionX sensor which functions to monitor user's physical activities, ranging from the number of footsteps, calories burned, and the distance that has been taken. The small dial that's pointing the red numbers of 0-100 in a small circle is an indicator of the target achievement that you have set via a companion application on your smartphone (Android or iOS).

In the small circle, you will also find a longer dial which's pointing to the numbers of 1-31 as a date marker. But when the dial is pointing to the month symbol in the middle, it means that the watch is in sleep tracking mode. Yup, Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart can also monitor the quality of your sleep and will sound alarm based on the most optimal phase of your sleep.

But unfortunately this smartwatch doesn't have notification feature at all; Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart only focuses on user's activity and sleep tracking.
