Despite their utility, smartwatches remain a geeky niche item as a result of a certain lack of je ne sais quoi. Nevertheless, HP is partnering with a retailer called Gilt to create an Android- and iOS-compatible smartwatch that may finally tick the style container, thanks to US designer Erika Bastian. He'll take care of the design, which will feature any circular, 44mm stainless steel scenario and swappable bands: black plastic, brown leather, olive green nylon and also a limited edition black.
Bastian says the look cues came from luxury motor vehicles, namely interior features like your dashboard and trim. Meanwhile, HORSEPOWER will add the watch's smart features, which will include signal like email, text and cell phone calls, along with user controls for music and other apps. HP will also provide software, meaning the watch can be platform-agnostic and not tied in order to Android Wear, for instance. It is going to reportedly arrive this fall, but there are no other details like the sort of display, memory or pricing -- but we imagine it'll be in the "if you have to ask" category.
