Designed with a distinctive, but not over-the-top style, this collection of watches comes available in gold, black, silver, and coal colors. The cases of the Armani Exchange Connected watches are quite large at 46mm, contributing to a modern look with plenty of wrist presence. The screens are fully AMOLED and don't overpower the face of the watch. In terms of features, the Armani Exchange Connected collection features a GPS, heart rate sensor, NFC capabilities, and swim-proof water resistance. The collection runs on [Google's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-big-bang-e-gen-3) Wear OS and comes complete with Google Assistant. A 300mAh battery powers the smartwatches and are generally good for a day before needing to recharge.
