Just like smartphones, smartwatches are slowly become a gadget that people are warming up to. Whether or not they’ll hit the same ubiquitous nature of smartphones remains to be seen, but so far it seems that interest in the devices are pretty high which has prompted more than a few companies to toss their hat into the ring.
Now if you might recall, even Verizon is interested in smartwatches as the company had earlier announced their own smartwatch in the form of Wear24. The good news is that if you liked what you saw, you might be interested to learn that the Wear24 smartwatch will be available for purchase starting from tomorrow. This is in line with what Verizon had previously announced.
For those learning about the Wear24 for the first time, this is Verizon’s own take on the smartwatch which will come with Android Wear 2.0 as its OS of choice. It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 chipset and sport a 1.39-inch touchscreen display. Under the hood we can also find a 450mAh battery, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and unsurprisingly the ability to connect to Verizon’s 4G LTE network.
Unfortunately one of the watch’s shortcomings is that it will not support Android Pay. This means that if you were hoping to use the smartwatch to make payments on the go, you will be disappointed. The Wear24 is priced at $349 or $299 if you sign a contract with Verizon.
