Alexa powered iMCO CoWatch launched in India for Rs. 13,900

iMCO is launching CoWatch, a smartwatch powered by Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. The company touts it to be the first smartwatch integrated with Alexa. It is made entirely of stainless steel barring the display and ceramic ring, and a single button on the side is used to turn the display on or off.

The Alexa assistant can be activated by pressing down on the smartwatch's crown button, or by tapping Alexa icon the screen. You can use voice commands to get weather & sports update, latest new, control smart home appliances, look up for information and more. Unfortunately, the smartwatch won't respond to 'Alexa' hot-word, as used in Echo because it is not available in India just yet.

The smartwatch also offers fitness features like heart rate monitoring, tracks you daily activities like, distance traveled, steps taken and calories burned. It can also connect to compatible devices, and show notifications for incoming calls, appointments, messages and more, and allow you to control the music.

In terms of specification, the CoWatch features 400 x 400 pixel AMOLED display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. It has WiFi and Bluetooth for connectivity, and is rated to deliver up to 32 hours of battery life in always-on mode, and up to two days with the display turned off.

The CoWatch runs Android-based OS called Cronologics and is compatible with both Android (v5.0 and above) and iOS (v9.0 and above). However, it doesn't need a device to work, as the smartwatch, can do all the computing either on the smartwatch itself or in the cloud.

The CoWatch smartwatch carries a price tag of Rs. 13,900, and will be available exclusively on Yehra.com in Mineral Silver and Carbon Black hues.
