In a world of Fitbits and iWatches where no android-based wearable would stand out in the market, an Indian smartwatch called BLINK comes as an exception.

This one runs on its own voice-based operating system, Marvin OS (built over Android); and provides a completely different interaction (UX/Input) designed for a smaller screen.

To start with, it has basic features like notifications, synced calendar, reminders, fitness tracking and inbuilt music. What’s more, it has all your daily requirement services too - Navigation, local discovery, payments, commuting, you name it and it will have it.

Another saving grace is you can also complete an end-to-end transaction on BLINK because it supports iOS 8+ and Android 4.3+ devices.

The operating system, Marvin, that BLINK uses has special features like:
• Music– 8GB internal storage gives it the capacity to store over 1,000 songs, which can be played through its inbuilt speaker, also by connecting to the Bluetooth speaker or headset.

• Authentication- The device has an offline OTP valid for 60 secs; allowing users to authenticate themselves without any dependency on internet connectivity.

Features:

The watch has a powerful 300 mAh battery, making it run for up to two days on one charge. Blink features a Bluetooth 4.0 and is built with the highest quality anti-corrosive Stainless Steel 316L, and has a scratch resistant, 1.5mm thick, Gorilla Glass 3 top.

To cater to your colorful personalities, the watch is available in three different styles – sport, classic, and steel and two colors- stainless steel black and stainless steel silver available in three variants.
