If you fancy a watch which keeps you connected whilst looking stylish then the Guess Connect Smart might just be what you have been searching for. American clothing giant Guess might not always be the first brand to come to mind whenever you think about buying a new smartwatch. But their first smartwatch brings the goods in terms of both form and function leading owners to sound just like Charlie Sheen when they tell the world they are “Winning!”

In today’s post we’ll outline just why you should get connected with the Guess Connect Smart.

What Is The Guess Connect Smart?

Guess are a world famous clothing retailer who are world famous with fans of high street fashion. They launched in 1981 opening their first store in Beverley Hills, becoming known initially for their iconic black and white advertisements. The brand was introduced to the world when their clothing was worn by Marty McFly in the 1985 blockbuster movie Back To The Future (along with the Casio CA-53W). His two tone jacket and denim jeans were reportedly designed specifically for the movie.

Guess watches first hit the market in 1984 with lines of watches called Guess, Guess Steel and the Guess Collection. Their watch market has been exceptionally popular since it first arrived on the market and Guess will be hoping their latest collection of watches continues to be as popular.

The Guess Connect Smart is the latest line of Guess watches and the first Guess smartwatches. These have been produced in conjunction with Martian Watches, who are most known for their Kickstarter campaign in 2012. Their Kickstarter campaign raised $221,298 to bring to life a range of wireless watches which are voice activated and allowing you to remain connected to your smartphone even if it’s out of reach. The collaboration between Guess and Martian Watches hopes to connect the high street fashion experience of Guess with the cutting edge technology of Martian Watches inside the exciting new Guess Connect Smart.

What Can The Guess Connect Smart Do?

The Guess Connect Smart allows you to use all of the features that you can find on Martian Watches. This means that at the bottom of the screen you will find an OLED display which can be used to display a whole host of messages. The Guess Connect Smart connects up to your Android or Apple smartphone, allowing you to receive SMS, WhatsApp or Facebook messages. The watch can even take telephone calls, allowing you to speak to friends whenever they call you even if your phone is not within reach.

The most exciting feature on the Guess Connect Smart is the option for voice control. The watch uses the built-in microphone to speak to Siri or Google Now directly through the watch itself. All you do to activate the feature is press the up button on the side of the watch and the green LED will flash to show it has connected up with Siri or Google Now. This allows you to control your phone wherever it is and makes for a smartwatch which can keep you connected wherever you are and, more importantly, wherever your phone is!

Conclusion

Guess are known worldwide as one of the most exciting high street fashion stores, but this new watch is certainly one of the most exciting smartwatches in recent years. It is no surprise that the Guess Connect Smart is stylish, but the cutting edge smart technology is something you would probably expect from a technology company like Apple rather than a high street fashion brand like Guess. All in all, if you want a watch which will keep you connected then the Guess Connect Smart is exactly what you are looking for.
