Swiss start up Sequent is presenting its revolutionary self-charging smartwatch in the UK for the first time at WATCHPRO Market and every ticket holder to the two day event will be entered into a prize draw to win one.
Sequent has created a smartwatch that uses the same charging system as a traditional automatic mechanical watch — an oscillating weight that transforms movement into energy.
But instead of a regulated release of that energy to turn a watch’s hands, it is converted into electricity that is used to power both a physical watch face and electronics for sensors and connection to a smartphone app.
Sequent Elektron
Sequent’s first watch, the Elektron, launched in January this year and is being given its first public showing at WATCHPRO Market from May 13-14.
The Sequent Elektron, a 42.1mm smartwatch made of titanium, has an analogue watch face in black or white, but onboard gadgetry tracking activity and distances, monitoring heart rate and blood oxygen level.
All data is beamed to an iOS or Android-compatible smartphone Oxygo app.
The Elektron weighs just 77 grams, including its titanium case and strap (strap options include Eco #Tide ocean material, rubber or leather), and is water resistant to 50 meters.
It is on sale now for CHF 599 to CHF 650.
Everybody buying tickets in advance of WATCHPRO Market will be entered into a prize draw to win a Sequent Elektron watch.
