There’s been a slew of smart watch releases in the last couple of months but one thing worth noting is that none of them were geared specifically for the ladies. Omate however, intends to change that with its Lutetia.
The Omate Lutetia isn’t just designed for women though, it was also designed BY women, not only from the design aspect, but the engineering aspect as well. This circular watch does look like it definitely appeal more towards the female demographic. Just look at its design. There’s the curved, sapphire-coated glass piece, a shiny stainless steel body with a choice of three colours – silver, rose gold and gold, and a pretty ornate beaded wristband, to complete the Lutetia’s premium female oriented aesthetic.
Of course it isn’t all looks though as the Omate Lutetia does pack some decent hardware underneath its stylish body. Like its sibling the Omate X, its powered by the MediaTek’s Aster MT2502 platform and runs on the Nucleus RTOS. Don’t expect full on smartwatch capabilities here ala Moto 360 or LG G Watch as it’ll serve more as a notification watch. Of course you can expect other features on it including a pedometer, music control, weather info, a stopwatch, timer and even voice control options.
In fact, according to Omate, the Lutetia isn’t planning to go heads on with the likes of the Moto 360. Instead, it’s looking to go head-to-head with the likes of Michael Kor’s watches.
So how much for this piece of stylish, female oriented, smart wrist wear? It’s not going to be too pricey actually with an expected price tag of US169 (about RM550), and it’ll be available “sometime next year”. And if you’re the sort that’s into exclusive stuff, there’ll even be 1000 so called “special editions” complete with their own unique codes engraved onto the watch’s back.
