CONNECTEDEVICE COOKOO 2 Watch Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2014-10-15

The newest reincarnation of the COOKOO watch features numerous improvements and now the watches are split in two different categories, the Sporty Chic Collection but also the Urban Explorer Collection. Thanks to the simplified notification system and Bluetooth LE, the internal battery can last up to one full year and it can be replaced by simply removing the back cover with a familiar CR2032 model.

The metallic back has a removable circular cover, which aids battery replacement:

The current date and time can be also shown on the top side of the screen, if no notification is in effect:
