Of course Swarovski has an Android Wear watch

It no longer comes as a surprise that traditional watchmakers have versions of smartwatches. You’d think it’s about time they got with the program. But here’s a surprise from Austrian jewelry maker, Swarovski. The brand will be launching its first Android Wear-powered (and obviously bedazzled) smartwatch at Baselworld 2017, which will be held in March 23. Swarovski partnered with Qualcomm and Google to develop the watch and it’s designed specifically for women. It’s been teased at CES 2017 but details about the hardware, price, and availability aren’t been released yet. This announcement also comes in the heels of the delayed Android Wear 2.0. We’re expecting to hear more about this smartwatch at the jewel and watch conference happening in March.

Samsung unveils a blinged-out, Swarovski-clad Gear S

A fan of all things shiny and sparkly? Well, Samsung has unveiled a Swarvoski-clad strap for its new Gear S smartwatch. The two companies have an ongoing partnership to produce blinged-out versions of various Samsung devices. What’s new about the Gear S strap is that it features Swarovski’s new product dubbed “Crystal Fine Mesh.” It lets them embed the crystals directly into the metal mesh to create a more pliable band. It’s the first time this material has been used on a gadget. It will be available at Samsung’s online store starting next month but they haven’t given a price yet.
