Swatch CEO announced they have prepared a “revolutionary battery” for next year. While Swatch has not yet officially entered the market for smart watches, we can not deny that the Swiss watch company takes several months to form noise. Perhaps because his versatile CEO is much given to this to walk half the way, but the truth is that Swatch has captured several of our headlines in recent months and not just to talk about her SmartWatch, which has not yet It has been presented.
The last news we had of Nick Hayek, CEO of the company, is the first Swatch Smart Watch this spring and would not need charging. The format to be adopted by the SmartWatch have not yet know, although such data without record that has invented a revolutionary battery for now, everything leads us to believe that it will be a slightly conventional clock (notifications, physical activity and little more).
However, recent statements by Hayek to a Swiss newspaper are more interesting than we imagined, it ensures that Swatch has already a “revolutionary battery” will arrive in 2016. It also ensures that the battery will not serve but only SmartWatch for electric cars, so it could be true to compete with Tesla in the sale of electric batteries.
Autonomy announced for this battery is simply amazing: six months. “Anyone who brings a battery to market SmartWatch not need to charge for 6 months has a competitive advantage,” says the CEO. “We are working intensively on this issue with our research group Belenos and battery manufacturer Renata.”

Logically, it should be cautious in the words of Hayek, not only because we know the media headlines that usually given to this man, but it would be very strange that a company such as Swatch, not situated at the epicenter of high technology precisely there managed to find the key sectors other giants still looking.
As we read in ibtimes, it is expected that the first SmartWatch Swatch count with two models the first integrated NFC for payments and open doors in the hotels come from this May and June, while the second model with Bluetooth to connect the smartphone would come in late summer. Both are expected to be compatible with Android, iOS and Windows Phone. What do you think?
