The Withings Steel HR hybrid smartwatch line gets sapphire glass for an additional dose of durability-- bringing about the Steel HR Sapphire Signature series of minimalist wearables.
The Sapphire Signature watches offer all the features of the Steel HR line, including heart rate monitoring, workout tracking, smart notifications and up to 25 days of use on a single charge. The watches pair with either iOS or Android smartphones via Bluetooth, are water resistant up to 50m and are scratch proof thanks to the aforementioned synthetic crystal sapphire glass face cover.
The battery inside the Rålis promises up to 20 hours of wireless playtime, and can even double as a power bank via built-in USB-A port. Wireless connectivity comes through Bluetooth 5.0, allowing users to pair x2 phones with up to 10m distance, and a 3.5mm jack provides means to add a 3rd device.
“Operating independently, these 2 businesses will have increased flexibility to pursue new and growing market opportunities," the company says. "We believe this separation is the best way to maximise shareholder value, while also enhancing the possibility of value-creating strategic transactions."
The XT2 looks near-identical to the XT, with a similarly weather-resistant (IP65-rated) body. It records 1080p video, and includes 2-way audio complete with Alexa support. Thus, users can view a live feed from the camera on an Amazon Echo Spot, Echo Show or Fire TV device by simply saying "Alexa, show me the [camera name]."
