New Kickstarter project LunaR is a solar-powered smartwatch
If you’ve been wanting to get a smartwatch but the abysmal battery life of most of these wearables is putting you off, you might want to take a look at this new Kickstarter project. While it’s called LunaR, the smartwatch is actually solar-powered. While its 110mAh battery can be charged using a cable, the transparent solar panel built into the device will help keep it running as long as there is light around—whether that be solar or indoor lighting. According to the manufacturer, it can continue to run indefinitely even with just an hour of daily exposure.
On the smart device front, the LunaR comes with features like dual time zones, sunrise/sunset tracking, sleep monitoring, smartphone notifications, activity tracking, and alarms. This simple, elegant-looking watch also comes with 5 ATM waterproof construction. If you’re interested in backing the project, you can get one for as little as US$138 (around CA$170) and it’s expected to ship this December. Its retail price is estimated at US$239 (around CA$300).
