Yet more luxury fashion houses are getting in on the Android Wear 2.0 act. Leading a pack of lookers on Friday is the Movado Connect, closely followed by releases from Hugo Boss and Tommy Hilfiger.
Making a serious case for the title of most attractive smartwatch yet is the Movado Connect (above), which will offer over 100 dial variations and a delectable edge-to-edge display.
It’ll arrive this autumn, with the pricing still to be confirmed.
Also unveiled at Baselworld 2017 was the Hugo Boss Touch, running Android Wear 2.0. It will be available in August from $395 (via Wareable).
