On July 24, sales on demand announced an electronic paper display and analog clock hybrid smartwatch "GLAGOM ONE".Reservations will start on the same day, and the release date is July 31.It will be sold at the GLAGOM official online store, and at the Amazon Store and Rakuten Ichiba.The colors are silver, black, and gold, and the price is 27,000 yen (tax included).
At first glance, a smart watch like an analog clock
The feature of GLAGOM ONE is that it is equipped with an analog clock for the hour hand and minute hand.The dial is a display, displaying notifications in collaboration with smartphones.In the past, there were analog clocks and digital display hybrid smartwatches, but GLAGOM ONE has an e-ink electronic paper for the display part.
[Video] Because it is an electronic paper display, the dial is monochrome.By pressing the app setting screen or the button on the side of the case, the color of the dial can be reversed (white and black).Just changing the color of the dial will change the atmosphere drastically (sound will flow. Please note)
The biggest advantage using electronic paper is the length of the battery drive time.Since electronic paper is low power consumption and does not require backlight, power consumption is much less than OLED displays and LCD displays.For this reason, GLAGOM ONE can be used continuously for about 30 days with one charge.
Currently, the mainstream of smartwatches is the liquid crystal display type, but if it can be used continuously for about a week without charging, it will be evaluated as a "long battery".The battery drive time of Glagom One is four times longer.
Another advantage of electronic paper is that it has good visibility in bright places, like ink printed on paper.It is the exact opposite of a general liquid crystal display that makes it difficult to check the screen when it is bright outdoors.However, GLAGOM ONE does not have a built -in light function.Conversely, in a dark place, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to confirm time and display.
Minimum function that is perfect for everyday use
GLAGOM ONE has a relatively simple smartwatch.Cooperation with smartphones is performed on Bluetooth, and the smartphone side confirms settings and records with a dedicated application.
The functions that are installed are body log functions such as heart rate measurement, step number measurement, and sleep monitor.And a notification function that notifies incoming calls such as telephone, email, and SMS.An alarm function that informs you of time such as schedule and wake -up.In addition, it is a basic smartwatch, such as cutting a smartphone shutter from GLAGOM ONE or a loss prevention function that makes a smartphone sound and notifies the position.
GLAGOM ONE can switch four types of display mode.Set in the app or switch by holding the button below the body.In each mode, the display meaning of the ring -shaped meter displayed on the dial is different.
GLAGOM ONE is not a multifunctional for flattering.For example, there is no function to record and display the pace during running, which is equipped with many smart watches.For this reason, if the purpose is to record exercise and activity, there will be more appropriate products.
Personally, I felt that it was suitable for Glagom One who wanted to incorporate smartwatches casually in everyday life.While it looks like an ordinary watch, it has basic functions as a smartwatch, such as heart rate monitor, number of steps, calorie consumption, email and schedule notification function.In addition, it is easy to use even for users who have never used smartwatches, such as no need to charge for about a month.
By the way, the band can be replaced with a commercial 22mm band.Since the case design is simple, the atmosphere changes just by replacing the band.Isn't it a product that is also suitable for those who want to produce fashion with a watch?
