Seamless design
The waiting lines of the Alcatel Onetouch Watch are round, so it looks like the Moto 360 in this section and moves away from designs like the one offered by other manufacturers that bet on the rectangular aspect. The fact is that it is reminiscent of "traditional" models, which is a good touch for many. The screen, of 4,18 centimeters and a resolution of 240 x 240, it is well thought out so that both men and women can use it without disturbing it at any time (its weight, by the way, is only 55 grams and the maximum thickness of 1,05 cm).
There are four types of 2-centimeter wide straps (two metallic and as many rubber ones, so there are options for all kinds of tastes and uses).

For example, the usual notifications that are received on the Android phone can be seen smoothly with their text on the watch screen. An example: it is possible to synchronize the device with the application WhatsApp.
But there is more. For example, it is possible to keep track of the physical activity that is done at all times (and to know the time and quality of the user's sleep), for which sensors such as the heart rate indicated above are essential. In addition, it is also possible to perform other actions such as taking a photograph remotely. And to all this is added the inclusion of a large number of applications that are included by default in the smartwatch itself (music player, email, or weather information).
By the way, synchronization with Android phones is done in a very simple way since connectivity is used for this. Low consumption Bluetooth. In addition, NFC is included, so if you have a compatible smartphone, the process is as simple as bringing the two devices together and waiting for a vibration to occur (these are also present when receiving notifications).
