Smartwatch from Meta Watch can now be preordered

The Meta M1 premium wearable technology is now being sold in a number of band options and colors.

It feels as though this is the year in which smartwatches are being announced, unveiled, or released with every passing week, but while many of them struggle to provide consumer with an appealing design or style, Meta Watch is hoping to overcome that barrier with its Meta M1.

When creating this wearable technology product, the company prioritized look at the same level as function.

Though the Meta M1 smartwatch had initially been expected for a spring release, after it had made its first appearance in the form of its prototype at the January CES trade show, the wearable technology gadget has only just recently been released for preorder. That said, it is available in a range of different band options, finishes, and colors. The M1 Core can be purchased in a stainless steel case, with a band that is either steel, leather, or rubber. The price ranges from $249 to $349, depending on the options that have been selected.

The M1 Color smartwatch is available with a band made of red or white rubber, with a stainless steel case.

Finally, the premium model of the brand’s wearable technology is the M1 Limited smartwatch, which offers a rose gold plated case with a blue crocodile strap, or a black case with a brown leather strap, being sold for $399. There is also a black M1 limited that has a black steel band that is being sold with the largest price tag, at $449. While they can be purchased as a pre-order now, it is expected that the devices will actually start shipping in September.

The design of the watch was created by Frank Nuovo, who is known for his time with Vertu and Nokia. The pivot points on the strap of this smartwatch are a unique form, which allows the wearable device to be able to conform to the wrist of the wearer in a much more accurate – and hopefully comfortable and attractive – way than the traditional form of a wristwatch strap.

Smartwatches from Pebble are released in three limited edition colors

Pebble’s classic wearable device is available in bright pink, green and blue.

Earlier this week, Pebble introduced new limited edition colors for its existing classic smartwatch, allowing consumers to choose from smartwatches in three colors that include Hot Pink, Fly Blue and Fresh Green.

These neon shades are a notable switch from the traditional colors of the company’s classic device.

Consumers looking for a change from the original Gray, Orange, Arctic White, Cherry Red and Jet Black watch colors, or who want a design that is a little more flashy, likely will not be disappointed in the vibrant and bold new color variations. The limited edition watches come complete with matching color bands, which are interchangeable.

However, in addition to the matching color bands, Pebble has provided users with the option of customizing their smartwatches. The company has announced that very soon users will be able to download two new watchfaces at the Pebble appstore. These include an animated Reading Rainbow watchface that features Levar Burton and a weather watchface from The Weather Channel.

According to Pebble’s blog, “Fresh, Hot, and Fly come with matching bands and—just like the rest of the Pebble lineup—are fully customizable with the skins and bands of your choice. We’re having lots of fun mixing and matching bands around between the different colors ourselves.”

Smartwatches from Pebble were first introduced back in 2012.

Pebble began as a Kickstarter project and was developed by Canadian inventor Eric Migicovsky. The project raised over $10 million from the pre-selling of 85,000 Pebble smart devices. In January 2013, mass production of the product began.

Last year, the company began to ship the watches worldwide. According to Pebble it has sold 190,000 globally and its consumers have downloaded 2 million watchfaces and apps. The watch has been well received and is equipped with several features. Aside from changeable watchfaces, it has an up to 7 day battery life, readable daylight display and is water resistant. Also, the company has a second generation Pebble Steel smartwatch that is slimmer, has a scratch-resistant face and has a stainless steel body.

The three limited edition color smartwatches are available for purchase from the company’s official website and cost $150.
