Practically since the beginning of the year, the main luxury brands have begun to show interest in the wearables sector, wearables managed by Android Wear 2.0, despite the fact that it is currently the third mobile operating system on the market, behind watchOS and Samsung's Tizen . The latest that has joined this trend is the Italian firm Armani, who will launch for the month of September, specifically on the 14th, its first smartwatch baptized with the name Emporio Armani Connected, using the same terminology as Tag Heuer. Your first smartwatch will be managed by Android Wear in version 2.0, the latest that is available and that hit the market a few months ago.
This would be the company's first full smart model, as at the end of last year it presented a hybrid model that combined hand technology with digital. The one in charge of manufacturing it will be the firm Fossil, which is part of the same group and which already has experience in the world of smartwatches managed by Android, and which has several models currently on the market. Fossil has specialized in recent years in manufacturing this type of device for other luxury brands that They have also been interested in this sector such as Michael Kors, Diesel or Marc Jacobs.
The Emproio Armani Connected will hit the market with 8 different straps in addition to offering a series of exclusive watchfaces, just like the latest model from the TAG Heuer firm. Although we do not have more official data from the company, it is most likely that this device is managed by the processor of Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100, will have 4GB of RAM and the battery life will be the same as most of these devices, one day. Regarding the price, the fashion firm has not indicated the basic price of this model, a model that we can customize with straps, which will obviously have a high price.
