PowerWatch Series 2 Experience a smartwatch that's powered by you, using your body heat to charge it. The unique thermoelectric technology coupled with a solar power delivers a full set of smartwatch features to measure all aspects of your health and lifestyle without the need to regularly charge. With durable materials like sapphire glass, a Titanium finish and a black stainless-steel Milanese bracelet, PowerWatch Luxe provides the style and durability you need to explore your world. The Luxe PowerWatch is packed with features that are updated regularly, such as: Selectable Home Screen Widgets place important dashboard metrics right on the primary screen, so you do not have to open the app to see your overall metrics. Press the BACK button on the watch to cycle through one of four views: Steps + Calories, Sleep + Heart Rate, Temperatures, Power Generation. You can set the default Home Screen in the watch settings. New “Interval Training” activity mode measures CrossFit, HIIT workouts and similar aerobic training. In contrast to Walking or Running, this mode doesn’t rely on step count to estimate calorie burn. The new activity tracks calorie burn by monitoring overall movement (not merely step count), heart rate and body temperature. As a result, it is much more suitable for tracking calories for activities of a “stop-and-go” nature. Temperature Measurement is now collected by the device. The watch monitors your skin temperature every minute and uploads the data to the App during each sync. Your temperature data is displayed (°C & °F) in the App temperature charts, clearly plotting trends in your skin temperature. Activity progress is easily viewed on-wrist. These screens are readable during a workout and show vital statistics including Heart Rate Zones used during your activity. The maximum heart rate is (220 - your age), and an arrow indicates your heart rate (as a percentage of maximum) along one of four zones: Light (60-70%, blue), Moderate (70-80%, green), Hard (80-90%, amber), Maximum (90-100%, red). User-initiated Heart Rate Measurements allow on-demand heart rate measurement. On the Heart Rate screen, HOLD SELECT to trigger an immediate measurement of your heart rate. Your body never stops, and now with the PowerWatch, neither does your wearable.

Do not buy..... worst company
All the tracking sucks I went on a 2 mile walk and worked all day and it said 2k steps ..... it doesn't say anything about sleep or anything else..... the battery percentage jumps alot it was at 90 then dropped to 30 then back up to 55 and now at 27. You can read messages but can't reply.... heart rate very inactive...update I contacted customer service and they kept making me wait days for replies to get my watch fixed finally I said I just want a refund and because they took so long and played games that it is past the date that I can return it.... I hate this company do not buy from them. Update : still fighting with this company to either fix this stupid 700$ watch or refund me.

Review of PowerWatch2
It was a pleasant surprise on how resistant to scratches the glass is. I have owned it for several months now and have only put it on the charger 3 times. It was during the summer so the body heat charging wasn’t good (due to the same body temp and air temp) but it only charges on the charger after the batter has fully died. Overall it’s a great watch and I am glad I bought it

Probably the final nail in my coffin but...
I was a kickstarter, and when I received this watch I was so excited. After a few days, I started to notice a few odd glitches. It would randomly reboot, sometimes it wouldn't get enough power from my body to recharge it, so it would shut off. Unfortunately it can't charge while sitting on your wrist, you have to boot it by putting it on its' wireless charger.Something I could get by, even though it had to be charged about every 3 days. Fine, I can handle.After contacting customer support, they told me there wasn't much that could be done about it, we worked on a few viable solutions, and found that the battery needed replacing, but due to covid, they wouldn't be able to get it back to me soon. That was back in March.I figured I'd let it sit for a while and send it in later. Something I definitely would have done if the "back" button didn't stop working. This effectively bricked my device, I couldn't get out to see the time or do any other functions. I brought it up to customer service, they said to send it in and they would turn it around and get another one back to me as soon as they could.It has been about 9 months, they still don't have any in stock to help me. They said once we get some in stock on the website, we will send you a replacement. Still nothing. The only updates I get at this point are the ones I instigate, and they say they can't send it until they get them in stock, which due to Covid is still out of production, makes it sound like they are scrambling to find someone to produce for them. Even asking if they could send me one from the Amazon warehouse, there are currently 5 of them available, nope, nonstarter.I am disappointed in Matrix. I am disappointed in Jack. I am disappointed that I only had 3 months of semi-use out of my very expensive watch.Overall, the idea is super cool, the functionality is pretty wild and should work pretty well, but the lack of material for customer support to RMA my product is dismal.Edit, 12/16/2020:I reached out to Matrix support last month, as I hadn't heard anything except they "hope I can bear with them in such a difficult time". I received no correspondence since.I have asked them to either issue a refund, or to send me one of the PW2 Premiums, a downgrade.

Buy an Apple watch, this is garbage 🗑
I want to start by saying I really looked forward to getting this watch, I had an OG Apple Watch that went thru battery like it was water and I was tired of charging it...enter a smart watch “powered by body heat” I was sold! I thank god that I got this as an indiegogo promotion because I now 1000% regret purchasing this instead of an new version Apple watch.I feel it’s misleading to say it’s powered by body heat, it’s powered by a temperature differential across the watch face. That being said it is really only effective at using JUST body heat a portion of the year, and if you buy it and live in like say Arizona or some other hot area you’re not gonna be relying on body heat to charge this thing. And because of the way it charges it is a bit thicker and heavier than a lot of other options, this didn’t really affect me too much but I’m finding myself taking off the watch to do more things because it’s getting In the way; I did this with my Apple Watch too but not nearly as much and that was 2x as expensive so you’d think I’d protect it more. 🤷🏻♂️The app isn’t bad tho you have to manually update it when you want information transferred. So, if you don’t update it on a regular basis you’re gonna be eating a hot minute for all your step count info and heart rate and temperatures and everything else it monitors to transfer...and that is to even say it transfers success the first attempt! I find myself trying multiple times to get all the information to transfer over becuase on It erroring out, but the progress bar gets further and further each time and then after 5+ attempts it says successful. This also goes with the “mandatory” updates, except it’s more of a pain. When I first got it I had soooo many issues trying to get the thing to just function because it was forcing me to do these updates due to it shipping with a previous version and I lost track how many factory resets and unpairing/parings I had to do to get it to work. Then it would just go to a July 16th on a whim, no notice or anything and I’d not always catch the date so my July 16th looks like I ran 5 marathons because the steps just kept adding up...then it just stopped and I have no idea why but I’ve attributed it to the mandatory updates which happen quite frequently (after it finally updated lol). There is also an issue with it just not maintaining its pairing, though it says it is still connected (icon in watch face and in submenu) but you find out during a manual transfer or another mandatory update there is a communication error. There is not an easy way to pair or unpair the watch it’s scrolling through menu options and hoping that the information stored on the watch isn’t lost (which has happened on a few occasions).There is also a bunch of little things that lack explanation. One thing I can think of is I could never remember the purpose of the red ring around the watch face, and googling it brings you to people pages other than the manufacturer (not even in the ‘User Guide’ that’s in the app) stating essentially it’s a meter to measure how Effective body heat is charging the watch. There’s some other things that were annoying to figure out tho I can’t remember and I think they’ve been fixed or made easier to find.So, as I write this I fight the watch with another mandatory update and pairing communication errors and I am just waitIng until the new Apple Watch comes out so I can give up my dream of not having to charge a Smart watch...but for functionality and features available and quality I’m willing to make that sacrifice I just wish I knew before I suffered a year trying to make the purchase of this soon to be paperweight worth the money shelled out for it.

Not worth buying!
User guide very rudimentary, flaky and unstable software and performance of no charging claims questionable. Don’t bother buying. Very disappointing, sent mine back for a full refund. Thanks Amazon. Now have a Withings Scan watch, absolutely brilliant watch!

Mit Updates deutlich Erwachsener...
Ich hatte diese Uhr schon einmal vor ca. 1 Jahr. Zum damaligen Zeitpunkt waren die Möglichkeiten doch sehr beschränkt. Ständige Verbindungsabbrüche, Neustarts der Uhr. Es war gruselig, daher retournierte ich die Uhr.Durch den reduzierten Preis und für mich immer noch ein super interessantes Ladekonzept, bestellte ich die Uhr ein weiteres Mal. Ausgepackt und ausprobiert. Erstmal Update auf Firmware 2.8.3r3. Daraufhin war die Verbindung dahin und ich fühlte mich zurück erinnert. App neu installieren und neuer Versuch. Siehe da, Uhr verbunden. Danach wurde ich sehr positiv überrascht. Keinerlei Verbindungsabbrüche, keinerlei Abstürze. Die Möglichkeiten wurden erweitert und die Uhr läuft seitdem super stabil. Austausch zu Apple Health ebenfalls ohne Probleme. Einen ersten Lauf hat Sie ebenfalls hinter sich. GPS war schnell gefunden und stabil. Einzig der Herzfrequenzsensor merkt man sein Alter an. Ruhefrequenz passt einigermaßen, in Bewegung habe ich doch meinen Zweifel an den Werten. Werde mit dem Sitz der Uhr noch ein wenig experimentieren müssen.Kombination aus Wärme und Solar hält den Akku lange voll, wobei der Großteil aus dem Solarpanel kommt.Mittlerweile kann ich die Uhr wirklich empfehlen. Interessantes Konzept und mittlerweile eine App und eine Firmware, die die ansonsten sehr gut verarbeitete Uhr auch gerecht wird.

quasi perfetto!
Arrivato ultra velocemente senza Prime, scarico ma l'ho caricato in circa 30/40 minuti... mi piace un sacco! Spero solo che 1) non cambino firmware stile Apple che poi devo buttare via tutto 2) non faccia venire un tumore... come prototipo è già tanta roba. In modalità aereo ha superato brillantemente il mese di autonomia. Resta da capire come sarà il futuro usando qualche app e aspettando maggior freddo. Ad ogni modo sono stracontento!
