Take a look at HP’s luxury smartwatch

by John_A

Despite their utility, smartwatches remain a geeky niche item thanks to a certain lack of je ne sais quoi. However, HP is partnering with a retailer called Gilt to build an Android and iOS compatible smartwatch that may finally tick the style box, thanks to US designer Michael Bastian. He’ll take care of the design, which will feature a circular, 44mm stainless steel design and three swappable bands: black rubber, brown leather, olive green nylon and a limited edition black.

Bastian says the design cues came from luxury automobiles, namely interior features like the dashboard and trim. Meanwhile, HP will will add the watch’s smart features, which will reportedly include notifications like email, text and calls, along with user controls for music and other apps. It’ll reportedly arrive this fall, with no word yet on pricing — but we imagine it will be in the “if you have to ask” category.
