a new SmartWatch brand call that vector has set into the already quite crowded SmartWatch market place and it's hoping to win you over with a promised 30 day battery life and quite an attractive metal design now let's go in for a closer look physically it has quite a classic watch design there are three round models available with interchangeable rubber or metal straps and there's also a rectangular model available now as you can see the display is monochrome now vegetation to read under bright sunlight although I'll have to wait until I'm actually outside in order to test that it should also help to get the watch to that promised 30 days of battery life but what about the smart functions well the watch will connect to apps on iOS Android and Windows Phone yes you heard me Windows Phone as well and it will show things like your incoming notifications Facebook messages calendar appointments alarms fitness level sleep levels all that kind of stuff all on the watch face vector will also be working with third-party vendors such as nest for example to allow you control the nest thermostat from the watch most of the programming of the watch in terms of the apps and its functions you'll actually do through the app on your phone rather than on the watch itself although you will see that there are three physical buttons on the outside edge of the watch and it doesn't have a more typical touchscreen the watch is due to go on sale globally in the summer and vector will be selling it through its own online store as well as through select local retailers how much will it cost well the round one is the pricier of the two costing three hundred and forty nine dollars while the rectangle one will come at 199 dollars so far I'm quite keen on the watch it has a nice design and thirty days of battery life really is very appealing but we'll have to see exactly how this performs when we give it the full hands-on treatments I'm Andrew Hoyle 50 net and this is the vector smart wash
