Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Using Your Wrist To Power Your Smartphone…”.
So this is kind of interesting. I mean I’ve, never seen something quite like this before I know at first glance, right now, you’re looking at this you’re like it looks like some kind of old school watch actually with this little display on it and the boxy design. I believe it’s the first watch that is also a power bank for your smartphone. It’S called the Wat actually the company here they manufacture, one of those 3d printing pens. I did a video on it, a while back power bank in a watch. Is this the future there it is.
That was a simple unboxing experience like they said it’s got a kind of old-school. Look to it. It reminds me of like those calculator watches that were super foxy from Casio.
That’S even boxier! Look at that thing. It also says, on the back designed in Belgium made in China Gorilla Glass, an aluminum body and an 1800 milliamp hour battery, so to put that in perspective, that’s a similar battery capacity to like an iPhone or something like that. Also in the box, we have a little user manual here, a flat micro, USB cable, to charge this up and then a couple of other universal adapters here. This is like a tube style, AC lightning for the iPhone, also type-c, okay, so that’s the one I use.
Alright, let’s see what they say here: quick charge discharge rate of 2 amps, that’s decent, I should mention the strap looks to be interchangeable by pulling on these pins here, let’s see if this has any power out of the box here. Oh, it does cool on video you’re gon na see this display as sort of refreshing in real life. You don’t see that it’s just a static image to be clear, really tight fit in there. I feel like I should mention that see how the connector is not exactly lined up with the cutouts a little finesse necessary here to get this in there you’ve got to kind of angle it I mean it will go in eventually, but I can’t imagine that that Is what the finished product will be, like apparently they’re shipping mid February? I guess I’m one of the first people who has this so once you get it in there now we’ll connect the pixel to excel. Oh wow instantly yeah see that right up there. We are now charging, I mean, that’s pretty simple, although somehow my battery life on here went to 0 right away, it could be since it just ship that needs like a full charge up, but not. It is currently charging in the pixel to excel right from the watch. Now it is kind of strange again, I’m not sure how much of a prototype this particular unit is, but the only way to identify the two ends of the cable and the direction it has to go in is this white sticker? Is there gon na be some other kind of indicator on the cable? Hopefully, Lix can address that all right.
So that’s what it looks like when you’re charging something from the watch like a smartphone. If we plug in a power source to the watch, then let’s check out what happens. We see a charge meter here sitting at 25 %, so you will know when it’s fully charged now I might as well try it on well that that is a that’s. A look I mean it’s not crazy.
You know what it kind of reminds me of like one of those Dick Tracy watches back. You know, you know. Dick Tracy is he’s a detective with a bunch of gadgets and he had a watch with a microphone and a speaker on it that he could talk into. This is pre cell phone guys.
This was so cool, I’m not so sold on it just yet, maybe in future versions of this particular device, it can kind of be rounded off a little bit more on these edges, just slightly less boxy and listen. If you are constantly running out of battery, it is kind of amazing to have 1800 milliamp hours sitting there on your wrist. I think overall, it’s a cool idea, cool concept. It seems kind of beta right now. If you look at my G shot here, the volume of it is similar, but this one is just super comfy because of the way that they’ve engineered the wristband and so on. Maybe this is an idea for Casio they’re.
All about these crazy rugged utilitarian watches. Put a battery in their small one charge up your devices, I don’t know guys, you still got ta carry the cable around it. This is a tough one for me to figure out baby one day. It’S all Wireless, and maybe you just I don’t know what do you do if you put your phone? It’S all. Is this kind of it’s a little crazy for me, I think I’ll be heading back to the trusty old g-shock and probably still carrying the battery bank. Cuz I got to keep it real with you guys and that’s the truth of the matter.
Jack. On the other hand, I can’t speak for him, or can I this episode of unbox? The era P has been brought to you by nest. Now you know these guys because you’ve seen their crazy popular thermostat. I recently installed one here at the office thing is unbelievable.
It learns, it knows what you like, but today, it’s all about the nest secure the new product. This is an alarm system. In a box. We have the nest guard main unit to nest, detect sensors and to nest tags. The guard is a simple keypad, with a built in motion sensor and a loud alarm. The detect knows when a door or window opens or when someone enters a room, and the tag is so that you can arm and disarm the entire system without the need for a code. You can just tap on your keychain and boom you’ve, disarmed it or armed it on your way out. That’S what it looks like nice and simple and, of course, a keypad on the top look at that little guy right. There wireless set-up stick this to the door and boom. You have a door and motion sensor and then this little guy goes on your keychain. You can see the QR code for easy setup.
This will now show up in my nest products. I have the cameras, the thermostat and now the guard so there’s three different settings. You can have the alarm off completely, you can have it set to home and guarding it knows you’re inside the house. So the motion detection is off, but the window or door sensors are on or fully armed, so that everything is active. I can see that the alarm is currently off and the motion detection is off.
I can turn it on gives me one minute to exit the space I’m gon na get out of the way and then come back and trigger the motion. We’Ll see this thing go up in the entryway, I see everything that happened there. Alarm went off and so on and the time associated with it. This is cool.
You can do a cellular backup for some reason. There’S an issue with the Wi-Fi integrates real nice with the other nest products. So if you have nest cameras and that’s the thermostat, this thing plugs right in it’s all in the same app and you end up getting more out of each of those devices when they’re combined thanks again to nest for sponsoring this episode.
