THESE 5 SMARTWATCHES Dont Yield ON STYLE


The Apple Watch will probably be the most talked about smartwatch of 2015, but it certainly won’t be the most stylish. The latest smartwatches have started to move away from their bulky, digitized roots, packaging cutting edge connected features inside classically contoured cases. Here are five smartwatches that successfully pull off both sleek looks and functional connectivity.



Michael Bastian Chronowing

While 2015 is still young, smartwatch designers have a tough hill to climb if they want to surpass the most stylish smartwatch of 2014. The HP-powered Michael Bastian Chronowing isn’t just a better-looking smartwatch; it’s a downright desirable timepiece that happens to have smart features.

The Chronowing gets its style points from its bold stainless steel case, anti-glare mineral glass face and perforated brown leather strap (it also comes with interchangeable rubber and nylon straps). On the smart side, it displays notifications, sports, weather and more; it also offers music control, switches time zones automatically, and runs for about a week per charge. Traditionalists may prefer a set of physical hands, but the metal-ringed, analog-looking digital time display offers a classic look while leaving plenty of dial space for notifications.

The Chronowing is available now for $350 in standard edition and $650 for Limited Edition Black.

iFit Classic

IFit is about to blow up the smartwatch market with a variety of sporty pieces. Some of its models aren’t any more style-forward than the usual bright, rubbery sport watch, but the accurately named iFit Classic breaks that mold. In place of a geeky digital watch face, the Classic has a large analog face for time and three smaller analog dials to display your daily activity readouts. You might need to replace the plastic band to make this a truly fashionable piece, but iFit’s done most of the work for you.

While fitness tracking of things like steps, distance and calories is at the heart of iFit’s mission, the Classic also offers smartphone notifications. The iFit Classic will launch later this year for a yet-to-be-announced price.
