While many people are focused on what's being released from [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazfit-bip-6) or Android Wear, the [Alcatel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcatel-joy-tab-kids-2) OneTouch Watch has been announced and started to go on sale to the delight of users around the world. Featuring an OS that is all its own, the Alcatel OneTouch Watch will work well with both iOS and Android devices for seamless integration.

Basic features like notifying users of incoming calls and new messages, controlling music and tracking your activity are all built-in to the Alcatel OneTouch Watch. However, this trend towards simplicity and usability doesn't stop at internal workings: the Alcatel OneTouch Watch also charges rather simply via a standard USB port, so you don't have to worry about not having your device-specific charger on hand when juice runs low.
