Frederique Constant Horological Smartwatch

Gorgeous Swiss detailing and craftsmanship ; Proven MotionX step- and sleep-tracking ; Two years battery life, automatic time- and date-keeping

Date notation is difficult to read ; Android syncing was finicky at time of review

And all of these watches look like watches, damn it, not cheap gadgetware. Indeed, when one friend saw me wearing the Frederique Constant, he asked why I had given up on smartwatches for a fancy analog watch. That single comment pretty much says it all.

It's going on sale globally from the beginning of June and will start at 950 euros (which converts to around $1,015, £685 or AU$1,325), with the rose gold version costing 1,250 euros ($1,335, £905 or AU$1,740).
