The Kreyos Meteor smartwatch is the first timekeeper of its kind that can be controlled by both sound and movement. The [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velia) project (it's fully funded and then some) connects to your smartphone using Bluetooth, controlling its functions using the aforementioned [voice and motion commands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-wearable-controller). The smartwatch comes equipped with a microphone and speaker, allowing you to talk on the phone and dictate, emails, text messages and social media posts.

The Kreyos Meteor smartwatch features a built-in gyroscope that allows for movement-based commands. For example, you could link upward movement to answering a call and downward movement to ignoring one. The Kreyos Meteor smartwatch comes with a slew of apps designed for those who are active, and it's customizable. A lanyard, watch strap and belt clip are offered. The Kreyos Meteor will sell for $169 upon its release.
