As a college student always checking my iPhone, the idea of having a watch that literally notifies me of almost any activity on my phone really intrigued me. Everyone hates when they feel their phone vibrate in their pocket and then they pull it out only to find that it was an irrelevant email or a Facebook notification. If only there was something that could let me know everything I wanted to know, all while being disguised as something that also tells me what time it is. Say hello to the Martian Victory Smart Watch.
Martian Watches was crowd-funded through Kickstarter back in 2012 and one of the few companies that kept their promise to their supporters and delivered a phenomenal lineup of smart watches. Being one of the early innovators to the wearable technology craze we get to see how the company has adopted to a new genre of gadgets with many big players entering the market. With the Martian Victory smart watch has unleashed some very unique features that are unseen in major launches that appeals more to the everyday user rather than the gadget crazed consumer. We’re going to take a look at what makes this smart watch different and whether it is the right smart watch for you.
