While smartwatches such as the LG Watch Urbane and the Asus ZenWatch make a big deal of their leather strap offerings, the difference between those Android Wear devices and the premium Mondaine No 1 Smart are vast. Sure, you're paying around treble the price for the Mondaine, but you're rewarded with genuine luxury.

Affordable Luxury

One of the advantages of the Horological Smart watch platform is increased battery life. These watches get 2+ years per battery. Current digital smart watches get far less and need constant recharging, which is simply a pain in the ass. I also appreciated that it wasn’t constantly linked to my phone. When I tried an Apple watch for a little while, my biggest issue wasn’t the watch’s battery, it was my phone’s. The bluetooth drained it at an appalling rate. That’s not an issue with the Mondaine at all. Straps and Wearability At the bottom of the watch face is the secondary dial that offers an at-a-glance look at your progress against your daily goal. Unlike the Withings Activité, however, things are a bit more detailed than just a goal percentage. At first glance the 1 Smart looks like a traditional mechanical watch, with no digital displays or readouts acting as clues to its technological innards beneath. The main differences between it and a traditional Mondaine is that the smartwatch loses the red-colour second hand, while that silver-grey face is interrupted by a second white dial with red iconography where number 6 would otherwise live. This latter component isn't an annual calendar, but an analogue representation of steps taken in a given day; it's the smart technology at the heart of this unique timepiece. The Garmin Forerunner 255 GPS Smartwatch is primarily a running watch and perfect for helping you train for your next big race. Not only does it tell you how far and how hard to run but its training plans also encourage you to rest, planning out periods of time for recovery. An impressive 14 days of battery life in smartwatch mode or up to 30 hours in GPS mode mean no need to charge so often compared to regular smartwatches.

Most controversial (and perhaps most endearing to some) is the asymmetrical text on the dial that tapers down to the date window. It’s distinctive, not everyone will love it, but it’s the little twists like this that help you stand out from the crowd and turn pieces into potential classics. Rather, we'll focus on what the app did offer. While not as comprehensive as what you might expect from the likes of Jawbone or Fitbit, you do get a clear overview of your activities and sleep, broken down by day, week or month. Unlike the Nevo smartwatch, there are no smartwatch-esque notifications with the Mondaine Smart – it would have been nice for the watch to at least buzz when a text or incoming call came in, for example. Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart: AppThe inner index is white and is a progress meter based on a 100% scale. It has squares for every 5% and numerals every 25%. Throughout the day, as you walk around, the hand will progress around in relationship to your set steps goal. The idea being that you can just glance at the watch rather than access your phone for your current progress. Any losses from baggage, clothing or other belongings unless such baggage, clothing or belonging is being carried by hand or worn by the Assured or by any other person to whom the Assured has given the insured item as a gift. The more watchmakers embrace smart technology, the better hybrid smartwatches get, a point proven by Mondaine with its latest model, the Helvetica Smart. Mondaine has already released several hybrid watches, but the Helvetica Smart comes along with two other excellent examples from Alpina and Frederique Constantthat happen to use exactly the same app — due to all these brands licensing the same technology from Swiss software company MMT. It’s very easy to setup and use, allowing you to enjoy the design. Understated design Mondaine watches represent the best in Swiss quality and design. The minimalist design, the unmistakable easy-to- read face, distinctive hands and the famous red seconds hand have made Mondaine Swiss Made timepieces uniquely recognized around the world. Ingenuity and simplicity are the combined elements that distinguish and define a truly iconic design classic.The Mondaine Official Swiss Railways Station watches, for men and women, embody these elements and proudly exemplify excellent 20th century design.

i) ionising radiations or contamination by radioactivity from any nuclear fuel or from any nuclear waste from the combustion of But while on the app side things are the same, the Helvetica Smartwatch itself has evolved dramatically. While the first-gen was based around the Helvetica Bold font family, this edition plays to the Regular – and that's not just marketing guff. The all-new Regular Smartwatch is a lot less in-your-face than its predecessor and it's been dramatically slimmed down. When it was originally designed in 1957 Helvetica was called “Neue Haas Grotesk?” The distinctly non-grotesque typeface was renamed in 1960 – to sound more internationally marketable – after the Swiss goddess, and now headlines this design-lover friendly collection, available in three case sizes and a range of colours. Attractive but still intentionally pedestrian, Mondaine have once again focused on mainstream appeal aesthetically, while inside the watches use simple Swiss quartz movements. They also announced that this tech would be available to other brands for use, showing it in Alpinas (sister brand of Frederique Constant) and more interestingly in Mondaines. Though they only teased the watch, it was striking in appearance, perhaps making more sense as a platform for this new technology. Rather than create a new aesthetic concept for their Smart Watch, they took their Helvetica 1 Bold watch and adapted it. I reviewed the Helvetica watches last May, and found them to be genuinely attractive and interesting watches, so I was excited to see how the tech mixed in. Fast forward a year, and I’ve now had the pleasure of getting to try the Mondaine Helvetica 1 Smart Watch out for myself.
