The renowned Japanese Multinational Company, Sony has astonished the world by announcing FES Watch as its secret project. A while ago, this 24-in-one timepiece has made its first glimpse as a crowdfunding project of Fashion Entertainment. And, it had been cataloged on a crowdfunding site: Makuake for development.
Now, the reports of Wall Street Journal are averring that Fashion Entertainment is a subdivision of this Conglomerate Corporation. Here, it has been claimed that a spokesperson has stated that they kept lurking the name of Sony to test the real value as well as demand of this e-ink technology-based product. So, after achieving its funding goal of $8,500 that is approximately Rs. 5.2 lakhs, the tech giant came into view.
To change the dimension of wearable devices and to fulfill the desire fashionistas, the gadget has been manufactured with electronic paper, which is decked with 24 transforming designs. By pressing a button, it can arrange the patterns of its face and wrist band according to wearer's choice within a second. At this place, straps are available in selectable patterns like mock metal, faux leather and many more.
However, device doesn't look like a competitor of smartwatches like Samsung Gear S and Apple watch because it doesn't incorporate advanced features like ability for notifications, GPS system or heart-rate monitors. On the other hand, some sources are asserting that the company is also planning to use e-paper as a fabric so that it can expand its offerings. This new technology can be applied in fabrication of wide range of fashion products such as ties, hat accessories and paper holders.
Well, this beautifully-designed wearable is yet to receive some official words regarding the availability, but crowdfunding supporters can pre-order FES Watch and could receive it after May 2015.
