The Festina Connected is a hybrid smartwatch: a classic analogue watch on the outside, with features you can pair with your phone on the inside. The men's models sit in the brand's higher price range and are made for anyone who wants smart functions without wearing a screen on the wrist. As an official dealer we deliver with the manufacturer's warranty, and if you have any questions about setting it up, we are happy to help.
What can a hybrid smartwatch do?
A hybrid smartwatch is an analogue watch that connects to your phone over Bluetooth and gives you smart functions without a touchscreen. It suits anyone who does not want a black display on the wrist but would like a few convenience extras. Exactly what each model can do is shown on the product page.
What should you check before buying?
- Check that the app is compatible with your phone's operating system.
- Connected models are typically 3 or 5 ATM: they handle rain and hand washing, but take them off to swim.
- The look is sporty and the case larger – better suited to a man's wrist.
Connected or a traditional Festina?
If smart functions do not matter to you, the money for one Connected would cover two classic Festina watches, for example a Chrono Bike and a Swiss Made. If they do, the Connected is a good halfway house between an ordinary watch and a smartwatch. Before buying, check on the product page which app the model you picked works with.
