Digital here we are with the well graph now to be clear guys unlike a lot of the
0:14
things we're going to be looking at at the show this is not necessarily a smartwatch it's well it's a wellograph
0:19
it's meant to provide you with a picture of your overall health and well-being so
0:24
it includes the usual watch functionality of course there's a
0:28
there's a screen you can have different watch faces and stuff like that you can
0:31
have analog digital I mean obviously It's All Digital but don't worry too much about that it does have a sapphire
0:37
crystal screen covering so I can go ahead and I can take uh they're doing a
0:41
demo with some exacto knives where they're scratching it and showing it that it doesn't scratch now what
0:45
functionality does it actually have on board it has a heart rate monitor an
0:49
activity tracker and a running watch so
0:52
I'll show these to you guys one at a time we'll probably just do this in b-roll so first up you can see the heart
0:57
rate monitor works with a series of green glowing dots on the back I don't
1:02
know exactly how they work but check this out guys there you go it goes like
1:06
that monitors your heart rate in real time it stores your data for up to four
1:11
months so what that means is it can give you all kinds of useful data it can tell
1:15
you about your resting heart rate it can tell you about how you compare to other
1:19
people your age it can tell you your Fitness age and it can even act as a
1:23
motivator giving you for the activity tracker functionality a little heart
1:27
that fills up as you do more things that day the podometer also works in real
1:31
time so you could literally I mean I don't necessarily recommend doing this
1:35
but you could literally walk down the street and have the podometer updating
1:38
you in real time how much you're walking that day in terms of charging this is
1:43
always a question that I have about these kinds of things micro USB to a
1:46
base station but other than that you go ahead and throw it on a base station for
1:49
the night it comes with two different straps so it comes with a NATO strap as
1:54
well as a leather strap so you can decide if you want something that's
1:57
going to feel a little bit more appropriate at the office or something that's more appropriate for well going
2:02
out for a run if the you know run watch functionality is going to be something
2:06
that they're going to advertise about it overall it looks pretty stylish they are
2:10
asking for $320 for it though so there's
2:13
going to be a lot of competition in terms of Wellness monitoring as well as
2:17
smart watches over this year and I'm definitely excited to see how this one
2:21
fares when it comes out sometime around April of 2014 guys don't miss any of our
