Movado Connect – A high-end Swiss smartwarch

The Movado Connect smartwatch is now on sale. This high-end Swiss smart health connected watch intends to compete with the high-tech giants thanks to the quality and simplicity of the design of its wearable.

Movado Connect also competes with products like the Louis Vuitton Tambour Horizon. A whole range of high-end Android Wear watches available from $ 595. This luxury smartwatch is available in five different finishes. Prices a little higher than for the Movado smartwatch whose prices start at 495 dollars.

The Movado Connect smartwatch has an NFC chip to support Android Pay. It also comes with five personalized and customizable visuals. These five visuals are inspired by a design that had been created by the brand for the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Obviously, the Movado Connect smartwatch has the latest version of Android Wear 2.0. It is equipped with a 1.39 inch 400 × 400 AMOLED screen. However, you will not have a GPS or heart rate sensor. Here, we favor design and fashion. As with the Louis Vuitton Tambour Horizon smartwatch, design and functionality are geared towards simplicity with a single side button.

The Movado Connect smartwatch is not the first smartwatch imagined by the brand. Movado partnered with HP to create a smart analog watch in 2015; the Movado Bold Motion. Like Fossil, Movado has also licensed many brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss. These brands are expected to launch their Android Wear watches this fall.

If you want to order one of the new Connect watches, you can do so only on the Movado online store at this time. Personally, I like the simplicity of the design of this smartwatch but I find it a shame to sacrifice some essential features to achieve it.
