hybrid smartwatch

A device that looks like a traditional wristwatch but has notifications, phone call alerts and other features typical of modern smartwatches. Hybrid smartwatches do not have to be charged every night and can either last several weeks on a single charge or use a non-rechargeable battery like a mechanical watch. See smartwatch.
