Acer announces its Leap Ware smart fitness watch at its next@acer global press conference in New York. This sleek smartwatch expands the company’s range of smart devices that integrates seamlessly into daily lives, allowing users to manage personal fitness goals and stay connected to friends and family.
Acer’s Leap Ware smart fitness watch features a polished stainless steel circular frame with a simple and minimalistic design. It is suited for daily usage and allows the user to benefit from a rich suite of wellness and fitness features. Equipped with the MediaTek MT2523 chipset and MT2511 bio-sensing chip, the Leap Ware smartwatch has diverse fitness tracking features thanks to an array of sensors with advanced algorithms. It can monitor heart rate, stamina, stress/fatigue levels, and exposure to ultraviolet rays. It also boasts three to five days of battery life
Built to Hold up to Life's Bumps and Spills
Designed with durability in mind, Leap Ware’s 42-mm (1.6-inch) face features with Corning Gorilla Glass SR+ which is scratch resistance with the legendary toughness, optical clarity and touch sensitivity of Gorilla Glass.
The Acer Leap Ware has an IPX7 water resistance rating and can survive an unexpected torrential downpour. Also included is a built-in LED light which illuminates at the press of a button. This opens up many conveniences like unlocking your front door late at night or acts as a safety feature while jogging after the sun goes down. The Leap Ware’s bands are interchangeable and come in Navy Blue or Light Brown. But being compatible with any 20-mm (0.7-inch) watch band the user can further customize the device to add even more personal flair.
A Daily Dose of Liquid Life to Keep You on Track
Acer’s Leap Ware smartwatch can be paired with an Android or iOS smartphone via the Liquid Life app. Users can see who is calling or texting, and use the phone’s large touchscreen as a dashboard for analyzing all of the data collected by the Leap Ware’s advanced sensors. The Liquid Life app lets users set daily fitness goals with notifications to coach them, so they can stay motivated and on track. In addition, all exercise sessions are recorded in the app and a friendly avatar gives users a snapshot of how they’re progressing towards pre-set goals. As an added incentive, users can soon earn Power Coins through a number of activities like running for a number of consecutive days, biking for a certain distance, and more. Best of all, the smartwatch can motivate users by encouraging some friendly competition with others to see who can collect the most Power Coins. This gamification adds a unique motivational bonus, with the Power Coins being redeemable in the Liquid Life Market for various items, rewards and potential discounts.
