In my mind, it was not all that long ago that I reviewed the first version of the Alpina AlpinerX – but it was. Just about 2.5 years ago, to be precise. In the watch world that doesn’t necessarily mean a long lapse of time, but in the tech and gadget world, that’s a much different story. Given that, we were quite happy to have a look at a loaner of the latest Alpina AlpinerX Alive.

To date, however, smart watches haven?t cut the mustard. I recently spent some time with the Skagen Falster 2 smartwatch to see if my opinion could be changed.

The Sequent Supercharger answers the battery life question
Whatever the gadget, battery life is ever the question – how long will it last? This is often thought of with our phones, but it’s ever more present with smart watches. In fact, I’m wearing one at the moment for a review, and I’m lucky to get two days between chargers (depending on what I’m doing with it). What if you could get around needing to charge the watch at all? That’s what the Sequent Supercharger is offering.

Looking for a deal on a smartwatch?
If so, the teams over at Fossil and Skagen have got you covered. I mean, what shouts out supporting worker rights (Labor Day, don’t you know) more than going and buying stuff? I guess if it’s online, no retail clerks were harmed in the making of this sale…
