Martian Watches Launches New Line of Out-of-This-World Notifier Smartwatches to Make Life on Earth a Little Easier
Martian Notifier Offers Style and Function at an Unmatched Price, Keeping You on Time and in Constant Contact
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CES 2014 -- Martian Watches(TM), a California-based, award-winning developer of fashionable wireless technologies, including the world's first Bluetooth® voice-command smartwatch, today announces the debut of its new Martian Notifier(TM) line of smartwatches. Martian Notifier was designed for the fashion- and cost-conscious consumer who wants a notification-enabled smartwatch without breaking the bank, with an MSRP of just $129 USD.

The Martian Notifier line features a timeless analog design, customizable vibration patterns and an integrated OLED readout that delivers real-time alerts and notifications from the convenience of your wrist including Caller ID, Calendar, Weather, texts, email (POP or IMAP), Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, favorite games, bank alerts, fitness stats, news headlines, and other alerts your smartphone allows. Vibration patterns for each type of alert are set using the free Martian App on your smartphone, letting you know if you've just received, for example, an email, text message or news alert without even looking at your watch, let alone your phone. The Martian Notifier App lets you filter the notification types you want sent to the watch. And you can recall past notification for a quick review.
In addition, Martian Notifier offers several convenience-oriented features. For example, a touch of a Notifier button activates your smartphone's speakerphone, enabling hundreds of voice commands to control music, check a sports score, get directions, search the web, create a reminder or appointment, and more. You can also decline an incoming call, set silent vibrating alarms that only you will sense, get a once-an-hour tickler to remind you to take a break, turn on an LED light to see in a dark room, control your phone's camera shutter, and more.
"We've brought laser focus to one of the core values of a smartwatch, that being notification of what's going on in your world without taking your phone from your pocket or bag. Our newest line of smartwatches is stylish, simple to use, a joy to wear and affordable for nearly everyone who wants one," said Stan Kinsey, President of Martian Watches. "We know that most people world-wide still purchase watches first and foremost for fashion. So our objective in designing the Martian Notifier was to combine a fashion-forward timepiece with the convenience of hands-free notifications on your wrist. We've created an affordable product that should bring clear value to the mass market of smartphone owners."
The anti-scratch acrylic crystal and accurate quartz movement mean the Martian Notifier is sturdy enough to withstand daily wear, and it's splash-resistant, too.
Martian Notifier is a user-friendly, stylish life manager for your wrist, and includes many of the great features that consumers have grown to love on the Martian Voice Command Series, plus new features of its own. With the Martian Notifier line, all features can be accessed using just two buttons to keep a streamlined look and provide simple convenience:
-- Instantly Receive Alerts and Notifications: The feature that users feel
is a "must-have" in a smartwatch.
-- Customized Vibration Patterns: Now you can easily know what's happening
on your smartphone without ever looking at the watch.
-- Notifications Filter: You may not want every notification shown in your
phone's notification center to show up on your wrist. With the Martian
App for Notifier, you can apply filters allowing only those
notifications that are important to you to show on your watch.
-- View Notification History: If you miss messages, just tap the watch
buttons to scroll through the history.
-- "Tap Glass" Feature: Tap your watch face to dismiss an incoming or
reviewed notification.
-- Initiate Voice Commands Remotely: Use voice commands via your
smartphone's speakerphone.
-- Decline Incoming Calls: With the push of a button, decline incoming
calls without ever touching your handset. Another button will accept
calls, though the call must then be taken on the phone.
-- Set Silent Alarms: No need to wake your partner if you're first up in
the morning. A gentle series of vibrations on the watch will act as
your silent alarm.
-- Hour Repeater: Set an alert for hourly intervals to encourage active
breaks throughout your day, or to just vibrate on the hour.
-- Light: Activate a modest but adequate LED light to walk around a dark
room at night without tripping over the dog.
-- Smartphone Camera Shutter Control: With the press of a button, you can
activate your smartphone camera to all time to set up the camera and get
in the picture before snapping the shot. No more "my arm is too short
selfies" with this handy feature.
-- "Find Phone": Locate a misplaced phone if it is within Bluetooth range,
even if the phone's sound is off.
-- Character Controls: Limit the number of characters in the notification
display to reduce one's glance time.
