#O+ time hands-on

Smartwatches have been on the rise in the recent months, and O+ wouldn’t want to miss on its current popularity as it banks on a low-cost wearable called Time as a local offering. We unboxed and got our hands on it for a short time, and here are our observations. The package is very reminiscent to those of time pieces we usually buy. Upon a closer look at the O+ Time, the device is lightweight, and its colors may give an impression that it looks like a fancy sports or fitness device when seen from afar. The screen's orientation, when worn, can also be a problem for some when read using the normal way we read the time off our watches. The O+ Time is also equipped with a pedometer, but it is not as accurate it should be when we tested that function out. O+ Time specs: 0.91-Inch OLED Display Notifications Text Message Reader Hands Free Call Alarms and Alerts Bluetooth 3.0 + HS Pedometer Accelerometer Li-Ion 150mAh 57.4 x 22.4 x 13.1 mm, 30 g This new smartwatch from O+, along with another wearable called the O+ tag, is available for Php1,995. Acer's Timeline series has had a tablet version for the 11.6-inch version (1810TZ to 1820PTZ) and the model is now selling locally for a suggested retail price of Php37,500.
