<p dir="ltr">Fanny packs. Dad jeans. Bright yellow mock turtlenecks purchased at the Gap circa 1991, and still worn defiantly, inexplicably, today. If you wear any of these items, feel free to accessorize your outfit with a touchscreen smartwatch. You’re already style-compromised, and the smartwatch can’t do any more damage.</p><p dir="ltr">But if your fashion tastes are a bit more—oh, I don’t know... discerning—then consider the new “horological smartwatch (http://frederiqueconstant.com/watch-finder/horological-smartwatch/horological-smartwatch-fc-285b5b6/)” from Frederique Constant. It’s a legitimate Swiss-made watch with a built-in accelerometer for step- and sleep-tracking. Like the other watches based on MMT’s smartwatch platform (http://mmt.ch/), it marries sophisticated aesthetics with the same MotionX algorithms you’ll find in a number of big-name activity-tracking wristbands. And battery life is rated for a full two years.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2956712/wearables/frederique-constant-smartwatch-review-time-tested-activity-tracking-in-a-beautiful-swiss-watch.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
