hey guys Brian Bennett for cnet and we are at CES 2014 and if you don't know already wearable technology is completely blowing up the show there are a lot of smaller companies who are actually innovators in the space one of them is a company called Martian now they've announced a new product called the Martian notifier which if you look at it it just looks like a normal watch it has an analog face very elegant very you know very premium look to it but you know just tapping here and you'll see it has a little thin OLED that will display notifications and they will be pushed over Bluetooth from your iPhone or your Android device you can receive emails texts caller ID and as a matter fact you can also look at it discreetly without bothering anyone or even looking at your at your wrist you can just get a vibration alert that you set up using an app which is called the Martian notifier app where you can have say you know four different buzzes you can have it set up so that you can know what's happening without even touching your wrist or you know interacting with the watch at all so one of the very interesting and compelling things about the Martian notifier watch is that it has a very low price point it costs 129 which is actually very agreeable considering that the first original pebble costs 149 dollars so you get a lot of this 21st century messaging and alerts for a pretty agreeable price point you get a lot of this classic analog style know as well so that's a very nice thing and you know hopefully we'll get to see this watch very soon if you want to buy one you'll have to wait until the mid 2014 perhaps a spring to get your hands on one I'm Brian Bennett for cnet.com and you've just taken a first look at the Martian notifier wash
