The Smart Watch also has a pedometer, stopwatch, alarm and something called “Anti lost.” I wasn’t sure how this feature worked, at first; it gives you the option to “enable” or “disable,” but didn’t appear to do anything.

The watch charges via a USB cable, and a Hyperdon representative claimed the battery life is “more than 180 hours,”
