Diesel has released its latest touchscreen smartwatch, the Diesel On Axial Smartwatch, which now comes with a built-in speaker, allowing you to answer calls on your paired smartphone.
The dial, which at first glance appears to be 3D, is packed with features unique to smartwatches. It features "ZEN," which displays the user's heart rate when tapped, a GPS tracking function that is convenient for walking and running, and a function that displays the time in three time zones, including the user's current location. Of particular note is the weather display function, which works in conjunction with the user's location information to display rain and lightning on the dial in real time according to the weather, allowing users to know the weather even while indoors.
The face also comes standard with an "Information Tunnel" that looks like a 3D tunnel, which can be customized by the user.
The speaker function also allows you to do more than just answer calls on your smartphone. You can also talk to Google Assistant and hear a voice response, or listen to music on the watch.
The ability to answer calls with smartphones is currently only available to Android users, but will be available to iPhone users as well by installing an app that will be released in the future.
