Looking to stand out from the growing smartwatch crowd, the Omate watch can be either a second screen for your smartphone or it can be your smartphone itself. The small wearable runs Android 4.2.2 and includes support for 2G and 3G networks: You can accept or place voice calls and download data with the Omate.
The smartwatch is a just-launched Kickstarter project noticed by the Smartwatch.fm blog on Wednesday. When I started to watch the product demo video, I almost tuned out as the first part is all about the design and doesn’t show the Omate in action. I’m glad I stayed tuned, however. This looks like a promising product at the prototype stage
The idea of the Omate because it replicates and looks to improve upon the features of my current smartwatch: A MotoACTV. That device also runs Android, although it’s heavily customized, and it has various radios inside: FM, Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi.
The Omate looks to have a familiar but optimized Android interface meant for easy interaction on the 1.54-inch touchscreen display.
