Using Your Wrist To Power Your Smartphone...

2018-01-20
so this is kind of interesting I mean I've never seen something quite like this before I know at first glance right now you're looking at this you're like it looks like some kind of old school watch actually with this little display on it and the boxy design I believe it's the first watch that is also a power bank for your smartphone it's called the Wat actually the company here they manufacture one of those 3d printing pens I did a video on it a while back power bank in a watch is this the future there it is that was a simple unboxing experience like they said it's got a kind of old-school look to it it reminds me of like those calculator watches that were super foxy from Casio that's even boxier look at that thing it also says on the back designed in Belgium made in China Gorilla Glass an aluminum body and an 1800 milliamp hour battery so to put that in perspective that's a similar battery capacity to like an iPhone or something like that also in the box we have a little user manual here a flat micro USB cable to charge this up and then a couple of other universal adapters here this is like a tube style AC lightning for the iPhone also type-c okay so that's the one I use alright let's see what they say here quick charge discharge rate of 2 amps that's decent I should mention the strap looks to be interchangeable by pulling on these pins here let's see if this has any power out of the box here oh it does cool on video you're gonna see this display as sort of refreshing in real life you don't see that it's just a static image to be clear really tight fit in there I feel like I should mention that see how the connector is not exactly lined up with the cutouts a little finesse necessary here to get this in there you've got to kind of angle it I mean it will go in eventually but I can't imagine that that is what the finished product will be like apparently they're shipping mid February I guess I'm one of the first people who has this so once you get it in there now we'll connect the pixel to excel oh wow instantly yeah see that right up there we are now charging I mean that's pretty simple although somehow my battery life on here went to 0 right away it could be since it just ship that needs like a full charge up but not it is currently charging in the pixel to excel right from the watch now it is kind of strange again I'm not sure how much of a prototype this particular unit is but the only way to identify the two ends of the cable and the direction it has to go in is this white sticker is there gonna be some other kind of indicator on the cable hopefully Lix can address that all right so that's what it looks like when you're charging something from the watch like a smartphone if we plug in a power source to the watch then let's check out what happens we see a charge meter here sitting at 25% so you will know when it's fully charged now I might as well try it on well that that is a that's a look I mean it's not crazy you know what it kind of reminds me of like one of those Dick Tracy watches back you know you know Dick Tracy is he's a detective with a bunch of gadgets and he had a watch with a microphone and a speaker on it that he could talk into this is pre cell phone guys this was so cool I'm not so sold on it just yet maybe in future versions of this particular device it can kind of be rounded off a little bit more on these edges just slightly less boxy and listen if you are constantly running out of battery it is kind of amazing to have 1800 milliamp hours sitting there on your wrist I think overall it's a cool idea cool concept it seems kind of beta right now if you look at my G shot here the volume of it is similar but this one is just super comfy because of the way that they've engineered the wristband and so on maybe this is an idea for Casio they're all about these crazy rugged utilitarian watches put a battery in their small one charge up your devices I don't know guys you still gotta carry the cable around it this is a tough one for me to figure out baby one day it's all Wireless and maybe you just I don't know what do you do if you put your phone it's all is this kind of it's a little crazy for me I think I'll be heading back to the trusty old g-shock and probably still carrying the battery bank cuz I got to keep it real with you guys and that's the truth of the matter jack on the other hand I can't speak for him or can I this episode of unbox the era P has been brought to you by nest now you know these guys because you've seen their crazy popular thermostat I recently installed one here at the office thing is unbelievable it learns it knows what you like but today it's all about the nest secure the new product this is an alarm system in a box we have the nest guard main unit to nest detect sensors and to nest tags the guard is a simple keypad with a built in motion sensor and a loud alarm the detect knows when a door or window opens or when someone enters a room and the tag is so that you can arm and disarm the entire system without the need for a code you can just tap on your keychain and boom you've disarmed it or armed it on your way out that's what it looks like nice and simple and of course a keypad on the top look at that little guy right there wireless set-up stick this to the door and boom you have a door and motion sensor and then this little guy goes on your keychain you can see the QR code for easy setup this will now show up in my nest products I have the cameras the thermostat and now the guard so there's three different settings you can have the alarm off completely you can have it set to home and guarding it knows you're inside the house so the motion detection is off but the window or door sensors are on or fully armed so that everything is active I can see that the alarm is currently off and the motion detection is off I can turn it on gives me one minute to exit the space I'm gonna get out of the way and then come back and trigger the motion we'll see this thing go up in the entryway I see everything that happened there alarm went off and so on and the time associated with it this is cool you can do a cellular backup for some reason there's an issue with the Wi-Fi integrates real nice with the other nest products so if you have nest cameras and that's the thermostat this thing plugs right in it's all in the same app and you end up getting more out of each of those devices when they're combined thanks again to nest for sponsoring this episode if you guys want more information on the nest secure or other
