You can now pre-order the Alcatel Onetouch Watch for just $150

Alcatel Onetouch announced earlier today that the Alcatel Onetouch Watch, which was unveiled at CES 2015, is now up for pre-order on the company’s website for $149.99. At launch, the Watch will only be available in the black sporty band variant, but the company will release new styles later in 2015. While the device doesn’t run Android Wear, Alcatel claims that its proprietary OS will offer up longer battery life at around 2 to 5 days.

The Watch has a sleek, circular design, not unlike that of the Moto 360 or LG G Watch R. It does sport a “flat tire” on the bottom of the 1.22-inch display, though tapping on that portion allows you to toggle between the watch face and the menu. As for the construction, the Watch is made of metal and the band will come in a few different varieties. However, the bands aren’t removable, so you’ll need to pick one and stick with it. As for the software, the Watch will feed you notifications, display time and even track your steps and calories. The Watch also comes equipped with a built-in heart rate monitor and IP67 certification.

We went hands-on with the Watch at CES, and you can check out our first impressions video below.



Considering the price of other smartwatches on the market, the Alcatel Onetouch Watch has a good chance of appealing to consumers who aren’t keen on spending an arm and a leg for their first wearable. If you’d like to order a Watch for yourself, Alcatel Onetouch says pre-orders will ship within 30 days of the order date.
