Martian Notifier Watch

  • Notifies you of texts, calls, fitness stuff, news, calendar appointments, social media posts: pretty much everything people do with smart watches at this point
  • You can customize the vibrational patterns to different kinds of alerts
  • Real analog wristwatch tells the time without having to turn itself on first
  • OLED notification screen and touch-sensitive glass but still looks kinda nice like a watch should
  • Compatible with iOS or Android and their attendant apps
  • Six days of battery life per charge, much better than many pricier smartwatches (cough Apple cough)
  • Model: MN200WBW, MN200RBR, MN200BBB (We get the Martian Notifier 200 part, and we like the three-letter color-style signifiers: see, an eight-character model number can be good if every character has a reason to exist)

Watch and wait.

The future of smart watches: who knows, right? Maybe they’ll flower into an indispensable accessory of 21st-century living. Or maybe they’ll stumble into gadget senescence alongside the pager, the cassette Walkman, and the handheld electronic football game. Could pretty much go either way at this point.

So what are you supposed to do if you’re interested in smart watches but uncertain about their future? Drop multi-Benjamins on a big-name smartwatch that might be the fanciest paperweight on your desk by the time the Justice League movie comes out?

No, duh. You buy a cheap but highly functional smartwatch that’s also a regular watch, and not a bad looking one at that. Enter the Martian Notifier Watch. It sends customizable notifications of texts, caller ID, fitness stuff, news and sports alerts - you know, the stuff that the data shows is everything most people use smart watches for. The difference is, it shows that stuff to you on a regular watch face that tells you what time it is without you having to contort your wrist into some wake-up gesture. The big difference is that today, it doesn’t cost you much more than it would cost to see that Justice League movie in 3D.

If smart watches develop all kinds of amazing new features other than those now-common notifications, great! Trade up without regret: you hardly spent anything for this one. If smart watches fizzle out, great! You’ve still got a watch that spent hardly anything for. Heads, you win; tails, you win.

The Martian Notifier lets you be both enticed by the possibilities of smart watches, and wary of committing too deeply to them. After all, a watch is only as smart as its owner.
