With its incredibly competitive price tag and an aesthetic + feature list to match, the Pollix is a great nemesis to the Apple Watch. In fact, it’s a great smartwatch to own if you’re not fond of the idea of surrendering your data to one of the tech giants… and if you’re especially displeased by Google acquiring Fitbit and all its customer data. This is the Pollix. It’s modeled on one of the finest smartwatches, with features to match. A lightweight aluminum case surrounds the watch’s square-shaped display (complete with an Apple Watch style wallpaper), and interchangeable straps allow you to give your watch new personas. The watch costs practically a quarter of what the Apple Watch costs, but comes with all the important features, from the GPS and ability to send and receive calls and texts, to an optical heart sensor and a waterproof construction. The Pollix has an incredibly intuitive fitness tracker that rivals even the best smartwatches, and it even comes with an ECG monitor, just like the latest Apple Watch does, but here’s where it gets better. The Pollix even has a blood-pressure monitor, something that’s missing from Apple and Fitbit’s offerings, and somehow still manages to have a battery life of 10+ days so you can go a week without needing to take your watch off to charge it. The Pollix’s most defining feature is its ability to be a great fitness tracker. With a sufficiently advanced AI sitting within it, the Pollix doesn’t just track your activities, it recognizes the type of exercise you’re getting, identifying between running, jogging, skipping, doing yoga, playing soccer, or even swimming. It comprehensively captures your activity and your workout, giving you 24/7 heart-rate data so you know how you’re performing. The watch even monitors sleep, as well as fatigue, letting you know when you need to sit down or give your body a break. Obviously it performs traditional smartwatch functions too, from giving you text and call alerts, helping you navigate, and even control music playback from your wrist. The Pollix’s biggest pro is its ability to exist outside the Apple-Google-Samsung (and China) ecosystem. It doesn’t come with a dependence on third-party services like your phone’s inbuilt fitness tracking, or your voice-assistant. It packs its own independent dashboard and an app that simply helps you control your smartphone’s features through your watch. Pollix is based out of Austria, which means your data, for the most part, should also be protected by European GDPR laws. It’s honestly a great watch for someone who doesn’t want to surrender their fitness/medical data to a large company like Apple or Google. Come for the data independence, stay for the great design, swappable wrist-straps, competitive price tag, and that glorious 10+ day battery life! Designer: Serhii Yefimov (50% off).
