The Tissot 'Smart-Touch' connected watch might look like a standard offering from the trusted watchmaker, but the device is hiding far more under the bezel than it lets on. Outfitted with an analog timekeeping system, the Tissot 'Smart-Touch' watch also features a series of connected capabilities.
Although it indeed connects to your smartphone, the Tissot 'Smart-Touch' watch is also able to operate independently to deliver local weather forecasts and more. This allows users to see more information at a glance rather than having to search around to find the appropriate app for basic information.
The Tissot 'Smart-Touch' connected watch can also give navigational information, automatically update the time and track your journey. The watch is set with a modest price point of around $1,100-$1,200.
