Should you’ve been ready for an up to date model of the Movado Join smartwatch from 2017, then your wait might lastly be at an finish. Based on an FCC submitting (noticed by Droid Life), the Swiss watchmaker is placing the ultimate touches to the upgraded model of its premium smartwatch. Right here’s the whole lot we all know in regards to the Movado Join 2.
FCC filings are fairly brief on design specs, however mentions of the watch as “MOVADO CONNECT 2.zero/40” within the paperwork lead us to imagine the casing for the watch will are available at 40mm. With the unique watching rocking in at a sizeable 46.5mm, that’s a major downgrade in dimension. Nonetheless, it’ll most definitely be a welcome change. There’s additionally point out of a leather-based and metallic strap, so count on to have swappable straps too. The one shade talked about up to now is black.
We’re on firmer floor the place the gadget’s specs are involved. The processor isn’t explicitly named, however will probably be powered by the Qualcomm APQ8009W, the applying processor for each the Snapdragon Put on 2100 and the Put on 3100. Hopefully, the watch will run Qualcomm’s up to date Put on 3100, as we’ve not seen sufficient smartwatches actually undertake the brand new chip but. The possibilities of the newer chip appear excessive although, as the opposite anticipated specs embrace 8GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, in addition to help for Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, and an IPX8 ranking for water and dust-resistance. That’s a reasonably excessive spec watch, and we hope Movado would improve the processor to match. It’s additionally anticipated to run Put on OS 2.zero.
There are a few potential weaknesses, although. Talked about is a reasonably small 300mAh battery, which is identical dimension because the battery within the unique watch. Whereas it proved succesful within the first Movado Join, the meager capability might not be capable of sustain with the upgraded internals. It additionally appears that the Join 2.zero may have an LCD display, reasonably than the AMOLED show from the primary Join.
There’s no point out of a possible launch date, but when FCC certification is being cleared, then it’s a secure guess that the watch is on its method quickly. Don’t count on it to come back low cost although — Movado is a luxurious watch model, and it’s possible the Join 2.zero might be priced to match its producer’s fame. The primary Movado Join was priced at $600 for the fundamental model, so don’t count on the Movado Join 2.zero to come back in any cheaper.
That’s all we all know for the second — we’ll maintain you up to date as we hear extra.
