In the world of wearables, the smartwatches are the phones on your wrists. A number of these smartwatches were composed as a reproduction of the cell phone, yet for your wrist. We believed this was a splendid innovation until we started to see challenges. The swipe or touch experience on these gadgets was clumsy as they offered minimal more than a square inch of screen space. Exploring the applications wasn’t generally an agreeable ordeal.
There was a considerable amount of disorder, as the watch was attempting to do excessively numerous things. Several people felt that smartwatches were basically not as tasteful as normal wristwatches. While some companies strived to address these difficulties, there were no clear winners. This is where our Indian startup Witworks came up with a clean and neat new smartwatch which runs on Marvin OS based on Android.
Presented by IIT-Kharagpur graduates Somnath Meher, Ankit DP, and Chandrashekhar Iyer, the organisation makes its items in Shenzhen, China – as such on a large scale as others do. The organisation’s favourable position, as indicated by Ankit, originates from how it varies from the Apple Watch, Android Wear, Samsung Gear S2, and Sony’s Smartwatch 3 as it does not attach to a cell telephone.
Its Android-based operating system, Marvin, has the capability to integrate various native and third-party applications. Apart from native features like Notifications, Timeline (synced calendar, reminders, to-dos), Fitness tracking, in-built Music; Blink also has the ability to run various third-party services (payments, commuting, navigation, local discovery).
- Music– 8GB internal storage, with the ability to store more than 1,000 melodies, which can be played utilising the watch’s inbuilt speaker. Blink can likewise play tunes by interfacing with the Bluetooth speaker or headset.
- Timeline– Syncs your timetable, to-dos, updates, alarms on a single screen.
- Fitness– A state-of-the-art 9-axis motion sensor allows the user to track all fitness activity with extremely high accuracy.
- Notifications- The user gets relevant and contextual notifications and can read and reply to email.
- Authentication- The device generates an offline ‘time-based’ OTP valid for 60 secs; allowing users to authenticate themselves across varied services without any dependency on the internet or cellular connectivity.
Blink accompanies full round 1.39″, 400 x 400 AMOLED display with 16.5 Million colours, and 1.2 GHz processor, which is twice as effective. Controlled by a 300 mAh battery, Blink can keep running for up to two days in one charge. Apart from this, Blink accompanies 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage and the most exceptional gadget to give flawless involvement in music and its other functions. It has Bluetooth 4.0 with BLE for availability, is built with most noteworthy anti-corrosive Stainless Steel 316L, and has a scratch proof, 1.5mm thick and a Gorilla Glass 3.
What differentiates it from others is that it has been planned and made by watchmakers with many years of experience of working with notorious Indian watch brands. These watchmakers comprehend what a watch ought to feel and resemble, and thus made Blink with all those experiences they have had with the world out there.
Starting at a price of Rs 12,999, users can start pre-booking the watch at Rs 2,500 before it stocks finish. The watches are scheduled to ship post-Diwali in November ’16.
