Breitling launches Exospace B55 luxury smartwatch

Although expensive smartwatches not made by Apple struggle for a tiny share of the market, quite a few luxury connected wearables have been showing up lately. Exospace B55 is the first "connected chronograph" by Breitling, who "has applied a new philosophy placing the smartphone in the service of the watch so as to enhance its functionality and user-friendliness."

Breitling Exospace B55 has the following highlights:

• 1.81-inch diameter
• black titanium case
• SuperQuartz thermocompensated quartz electronic, analog and 12/24-hour LCD digital display
• backlighting and EOL indicator
• up to 2 months autonomy
• Bluetooth LE connectivity
• email, messages, phone call notifications
• appointment reminders
• 330 feet water resistance
• TwinPro strap

This connected timepiece was entirely developed, assembled, and tested in Switzerland, where the smartphone app has been made as well. The Exospace B55 can be ordered via Breitling's website while pricing is available on request for now (that may depend on location as well, so feel free to try and get pricing and availability information for the nearest store selling Breitling products).
