say hello to the new Martian notifier SmartWatch based on looks alone I bet you'd assume this handsomely styled timepiece is your average analog watch you'd be very mistaken because as its name suggests the notifier channels smartphone alerts and other useful info right to your wrist hi this is Bryan Bennett for CNET let's find out what this gadget is all about price at one hundred and twenty nine dollars the notifier is relatively affordable at least compared to fancy smartwatches such as the metal pebble steel which clocks in at two hundred and forty nine dollars to me the no defiers classic watch face also looks more sophisticated than the original pebbles plastic construction and iing display what gives the notifier smarts away are a tiny dot shaped light in the corner along with a thin OLED screen running along the bottom of the watch face the notifier connects to both Android and iOS devices via companion apps and a wireless Bluetooth connection right out of the gate the notifier app is configured to provide warnings for incoming calls text calendar appointments email and staple social media events the watch's software is also aware of what applications are installed on your phone you can then turn on alerts for these apps or even better add them as your device app roster grows another interesting feature in the notifiers arsenal are vibration patterns essentially you can have the watch buzzed almost Morse code style distinctively to match each type of message for example vibration patterns like long short long means you have a call long short short means you have a text and so on the Martian notifier does have its drawbacks for one while its splash proof it's not fully water resistant that means no showering or swimming with the notifier strapped on you charge the device through a micro USB cable and port located under a flap unfortunately the charging contacts are dug in really deep so you can only charge the watch with the no defiers USB cable and it's oddly long tip I'm Brian Bennett foreseen it and you taking a first look at the Martian notifiers
