Skagen Announces Feature-Packed Falster 2 Smartwatch

BERLIN-The first Skagen Falster smartwatch was a slim and attractive wearable with a full touch screen, but we felt it was too expensive, especially since it lacked many features sported by its competitors Skagen seeks to correct that with the Falster 2, announced here at IFA The second-generation Falster smartwatch has a similar minimalist design as its predecessor, with a sleek metal body, a variety of slim watch straps, and a circular touch screen.

To bolster the paucity of features on the Falster, Skagen has packed it with everything you expect from a high-end smartwatch "The Falster 2 represents everything Skagen stands for: beautiful, design-focused products that are functional for the way people live," said Frederik Thrane, creative director for Skagen The company says it took feedback from users about the Falster to give them the features they wanted for the Falster 2.

Since the Falster 2 doesn't piggyback off your smartphone's GPS capabilities, you can leave the phone at home while the watch tracks your route during bike rides, runs, and walks Naturally, there are also the standard wearable features like voice commands, notifications, and interchangeable watch straps. .
