Misfit on October 18 announces Misfit Phase Hybrid Smartwatch, an advanced timepiece that merges the design of an analog watch with the functionality of a smartwatch. Classically inspired but with cutting-edge connectivity, Misfit Phase leverages a sleek and simple design to conceal technology that is uniquely wearable.
The newest addition to Misfit's portfolio of design-forward wearables, Misfit Phase tracks steps, distance, and sleep duration and quality using a 3-axis accelerometer and Misfit's rigorously validated algorithms. The watch face acts as a subtle user interface for notifications and feedback. Users can view activity, alarm and notification data using an interplay of the watch hands, a small colour window, and vibration alerts. Texts, calls, app notifications, and movement reminders are discreetly delivered straight to a user's wrist.
Misfit Phase also works as a remote to connect with the world around you. Use Phase to control your music, take pictures with your phone, or advance slides in a presentation, all with the touch of a button. Misfit Phase automatically updates to reflect current time zone, and, like other Misfit products, features 6-month battery life and 50 meters water resistance.
We're thrilled to launch Misfit Phase, which employs Misfit's energy efficient, miniaturised Bluetooth enabled technology in a traditional watch form factor, said Preston Moxcey, General Manager of Misfit. Watches are the fashion-credible predecessor of wearable technology, and Misfit Phase showcases both the evolution of the wearable technology space and its convergence with the world of fashion accessories.
