The makers of the popular "Museum Observe," Movado, have revealed a new smartwatch with a design similar to the traditional analogue watch.
Movado's Strong Activity watch, designed by Hewlett-Packard (HP), connects the growing positions of established analogue watch makers attempting to contest with the likes of The apple company and Samsung's wearables by offering more fashion-centric choices.
"We focused on being true to their brand with a pure analogue movement and elevated only components with LEDs and Haptic," Sri Sridhar, HP's manager of wearables and smart systems told Mashable. "In a primarily digital world, analogue encounters have a lot of emotional value. After all, the first fantastic app for wearables is feelings."
Although the Strong Activity doesn’t come with a visual interface screen (its time-telling component is analog) like the The apple company Observe or New samsung Equipment, it nevertheless provides a complete array of smart phone interaction via oscillations and simple lighting signals.

Rather than attempt to function as a wrist-based processing system, Movado's wearable instead concentrates on providing notices, such as email, social networking up-dates, schedule sessions and battery power alerts. But, if Movado's statements are precise, that last notice won't be as necessary as it is with some wearables, as the Strong Motion's battery power can last for a weeks time.
The system also performs as an activity observe, monitoring your steps in addition to the Movado app. And, compared with some of the high-profile smartwatch choices on the the market, the Strong Activity performs together with both iOS (iOS 8 and above) and Android operating system (KitKat 4.4 and above).
"We are using our own system," Sridhar says. "A combination of reasoning services, contextual statistics, mobile app structure work, firmware and a variety of components component."
