ARE you in the market for a smartwatch but simply do not know which particular model to bring home? Misfit may help you narrow down your choices with the launch of the Misfit Vapor 2. This is a design-forward touchscree­n smartwatch that works great for both iOS and Android platforms.

Running on Wear OS by Google, it is accompanie­d by a range of features such as Google Assistant, the availabili­ty of hundreds of apps on Google Play, notificati­on alerts, and Google Fit.

It comes with an integrated music player, while 4GB of internal storage is plenty for a smartwatch, with a redesigned optical heart rate sensor. Throw in a swim-proof design and all-day battery life, and chances are you would not need to pick up another versatile timepiece such as this for some time, or at least until the next iteration is announced.

The Misfit Vapor 2 will arrive with a choice between 41mm and 46mm case options. In addition, the sleek and compact design is complement­ed by different strap options, while users have the choice to customise the watch face with a virtually endless array of style options.

Built-in GPS functional­ity allows you to track the distance travelled, while it also keeps track of the number of calories burnt and steps taken via Wear OS. Of course, you also have the option of relying on other third-party apps. Being future forward, the Misfit Vapor 2 even integrates NFC functional­ity.

The round AMOLED display has a resolution of 328 pixels per inch, and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivi­ty options thrown into the mix. It relies on standard USB port charging that connects to a magnetic charging cradle, and has a starting price of US$249.99.
