Wearable tech specialist Misfit cleared the awards table at CES with its first ever touchscreen smartwatch. Vapor, which gobbled up no less than six awards at the show, features a heart rate monitor, built-in location services, music and GPS functionality, Bluetooth connectivity and “world-class fitness and sleep tracking”.
Boasting a 1.39-inch vibrant, circular touchscreen, Vapor is able to display tracking data and smartwatch apps directly, without the need for a separate smartphone. A virtual bezel allows the user to quickly navigate watchfaces and applications – as well as respond to notifications – without obscuring content on the screen.
The launch of Vapor is part of Misfit parent company Fossil Group’s plans to double its wearables production to 300 new products in 2017.
“Customers crave connectivity that doesn’t compromise style,” says Greg McKelvey, chief strategy and digital officer at Fossil Group. “We’re creating more options to seamlessly integrate desired tech features into our customers’ style and lifestyle.”
