Seiko Astron GPS Solar Watch Review

The Seiko Astron Watch is a pure example of style and tech

 

 

The smartphones are at the top of the sales market, but now a new market is coming into existence; the market of smartwatches. It’s time to say good buy to the old fashioned dull watches and to say hello to the new smartwatches loaded completely with the best tech available.

So here comes yet another smartwatch: The Seiko Astron GPS Solar Watch. And here we are with a quality article on it.

The Seiko Astron series of watch is an example that comes with solar charging as well as a GPS support.
The thing which is really amazing about it is the time the battery takes to get charged. Its almost nothing, as only 10 minutes of exposure to sunlight or a hour in a brightly lit room can charge the battery at a capacity that it can run for a whole day. The manufacturers claim that the battery fully charged can go up to 6 months and even can be functional for a time period of two years in the Power Saving mode which disables some of the features of the device. So one doesn’t really need to care about the charging of this watch.

 

 

The charge in the battery is shown by the indicator hand of the watch – the one on the tiny dial towards the bottom.The watch can automatically set itself according to the local time zone with the help of the GPS, but the user can do this manually too. But for the GPS to work reliably, one needs to be outdoor. The watch also has a flight mode which prevents the GPS to function during the flight.

The series has got various other models with choice of titanium and steel bodies and come in various colors.

If you want this classy thing on your wrist, you will have to pay a price of about Rs. 1,95,000. The price it has may not be too much for the one who can afford and look for the class and luxury to be a part of their lives. So if you are one of them just go and get it.
