Proton X Watch Now On Sale For RM1,499
First showcased to the public last year, the Proton X Watch wearable has since made its way to the market. Yes, when we said Proton, we really meant the national car maker.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon-based connected watch was developed by ACO Tech who was also responsible for the ATLAS infotainment system on selected Proton cars including the X50 and X70. Hence, the Proton X Watch was equipped with remote vehicle control features that can be used with both vehicles.
This included the ability to remotely control the door locks, windows, horn, lights, trunk release, and air-conditioning which are supported by all variants of X70 as well as the Premium and Flagship version of X50. Owners of the X Watch can also use it to remotely turn on the engine of the two X50 variants.
In addition to that, they can also monitor statistics of the vehicle such as the amount of fuel left in the tank, fuel consumption, and the next service mileage point directly from the watch. Aside from automotive features, the X Watch can also act as a fitness watch since it includes eight sports modes such as running, walking, cycling, and mountain climbing.
Furthermore, it has also been equipped with a heart rate and blood oxygen sensor. There is also the sedentary reminder feature that would alert the user and encourage them to stand up and move if the watch detects the user has been sitting down or being idle for far too long.
Together with stainless steel case and ceramic bezel, the X Watch is also equipped with a 1.3-inch AMOLED display that is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass DX+. ACO Tech also noted that the watch is covered with diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating as a defensive layer against scratches and fingerprints.
The X Watch’s arrival in the market seemed to take place rather quietly as we have no knowledge of any official announcement regarding its rollout. Even though it was given a rather quiet release without much fanfare, I still assumed that one can just waltz into any Proton showroom and purchase the watch.
