Noise Voyage: New smartwatch with mobile comms and Bluetooth also capable of navigation

Noise is an extremely popular smartwatch manufacturer, but only in India, where the company appears to have been very successful in selling numerous kinds of smartwatches.

With the Voyage, Noise has now introduced a new smartwatch that also allows for connections to a mobile network and is thus significantly less dependent on a paired smartphone. This means that phone calls can be made without a paired smartphone, although the number of contacts that can be stored is limited to 200. Headphones can be connected via Bluetooth and media playback on the headphones is also said to be supported. Connections to the mobile network take place via eSIM and not via SIM; Indian mobile network providers Airtel and Jio are supported.

No exact specifications are currently available, but Noise has indicated the possibility of navigation on the smartwatch. Weather updates and quick answers are also said to be supported, as well as a calculator. Furthermore, Noise states that sporting activities can be recorded, with over 100 sports profiles and automatic sport recognition. Heart rate, stress levels and oxygen saturation can also be recorded and sleep quality/duration monitored.

A battery life of up to 30 days is advertised, although this can only be achieved in a special energy-saving mode. This presumably only offers essential basic functions - a dedicated, second SoC may be available for this.

The Noise Voyage will be available from December 23 and can be reserved for a small deposit. Whether the model will also be launched in the US or Europe is uncertain.
