In terms of design and build, the Lenovo EGO digital smartwatch comes with a 42mm anti-shine reflective round display with night light mode, up to 50 metres of water resistance, and a rubber buckle strap for fastening. It is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and uses Bluetooth v4.0 for connectivity. Although it lacks Wi-Fi, GPS, and a touchscreen, it does retain some of the essential sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, and heart rate sensor to offer better health and fitness tracking. Apart from health and fitness tracking, the smartwatch also offers remote camera and vibrating notifications, with alerts for phone calls, emails, text messages, and other social media apps. “Wearable technologies have emerged as the next big consumer electronics market in India and is expected to grow at a fast pace. With Lenovo EGO, we aim to acquire 15% share of India’s market and establish a fitness network encouraging people to be fitter, healthier and happier. Lenovo EGO brings a full-featured digital smartwatch with extensive compatibility across mobile platforms, long lasting battery and ultimate remote camera feature providing a better fitness experience to consumers.” – said Sebastian Peng, Head of Lenovo MBG Ecosystem, on the launch of the EGO smartwatch.
