Hewlett-Packard last November announced that Titan, an Indian designer and manufacturer of watches and other fashion goods, had joined its “Engineered by HP” program. Titan today unveiled its first smartwatch to benefit from this new partnership. The Titan Juxt is billed as the first smartwatch to be built in India.
Much as we have seen from the MB Chronowing and Movado BOLD Motion smartwatches, the Titan Juxt is a “smarter watch,” an analog round display watch that incorporates a number of smartwatch features. Along with basic fitness tracking, a small OLED display provides a range of notifications and alerts when paired with a smartphone via Bluetooth.
Similar designs are already on the market courtesy of Martian, Guess and a few other watchmakers.
The Titan Juxt will be compatible with both Android and iOS. Like other smartwatches, it will also come with a companion smartphone app.
Three models are now available. Buyers will have a choice of stainless steel, plated rose gold or plated titanium cases.
Pre-orders for the Titan Juxt began today through Titan’s online store. The stainless steel model is the cheapest at Rs 15,995 (about US$235 or CA$345). The Rose Gold model sells for Rs 17,995 (about US$265 or CA$385) while the platinum one goes for Rs 19,995 (about US$300 or CA$430).
Pre-orders will ship to Australia and the U.S. as well as India, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and the U.K. Titan and HP will bring also bring the Juxt smartwatch to a number of additional international markets including Canada at a future but still unspecified point.
