Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced the development of a watch equipped with Bluetoothlow energy wireless technology, a new technology for short-range communication. Casio has been transforming the definition of the wristwatch for years by applying the latest technologies.

 

Now, Casio’s prototype BluetoothLow Energy Watch is poised to create new possibilities for the way people use their watches yet again. Taking advantage of the low power consumption of the new Bluetoothtechnology, the new watch powers Bluetoothwireless communication functions wi

th its single button-cell battery, the same kind used in small devices and watches. And it does this without losing any battery life compared to conventional wristwatches. This makes the new BluetoothLow Energy Watch highly useful because users can wear it everyday just like they expect of a wristwatch, without bothering about the recharging required by typical mobile devices.

 

Casio’s new prototype can communicate with smart phones equipped with Bluetoothlow energy wireless technology, which will be available in the near future and be able to connect to networks of various devices. The new prototype demonstrates how Casio hopes to expand the ways people use their watches, unlike anything ever seen before, as new applications are developed for smart phones to enable communication between watches through smart phones.
