What’s good is that the watch can enter an “SOS call mode” when the user would press the home/power button a specific number of times.
Other specifications and features
Apart from the above-mentioned features, the watch will also come with a 420mAh battery. And what’s best about this is that it claims to last for an estimated maximum of 36 hours between charges. So, users can go about their day and not worry about having to juice up the watch.
When it comes to juicing it up, it uses a magnetic cradle that can detach from its USB-C type cable to substitute any other. This is uncommon with smartwatches but very handy in case no USB-C cables are available at the moment.
Additionally, the charger is engineered to support the OEM’s mEngine and mCharge for watch systems, which are rated to re-fill the battery in as little as 45 minutes.
The company claims that as quick as 15 minutes of charging gives you a day’s usage. Meizu Watch runs on FlymeOS, a proprietary OS for watches that supports smart assistance and allows users to choose from a plethora of dial photos.
The operating system lets users customize every nook and cranny of the smartwatch to give that personalized vibe.
Furthermore, it also has a potential for digital keys, depending on the automobile support and compatibility.
Now, let’s go over the watch’s specs: expect a 6-series aluminum allow construction and a ceramic base.
The watch measures 46 x 38.4mm with a thickness of 12.97mm. With the fluoro-rubber strap, it will weigh around 69 grams. It features a 1.78-inch of AMOLED screen display that is protected by 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass.
Moreover, the screen produces 368 x 448 pixel resolution, 326ppi pixel density, and 500 nits brightness. A physical button can be found in the watch that is used to access different functions.
Price and availability
The Meizu Watch will be available in China starting June 1 with a starting price of 1,499 Yuan (roughly around USD 235).
The watch will be available in two colors: Black and Azure. There is still no word on when the smartwatches will be available in other markets.
