Get The Smartwatch That Can Also Control Your Amazon Alexa — at 55% Off

If you haven’t jumped on board the smartwatch train yet…what’s keeping you? The power and convenience of having a virtual assistant strapped to your wrist throughout your day is too versatile to ignore. And you know it’s only a matter of time before even your Mom is sporting one (if she hasn’t already beaten you to the smartwatch punch).

On top of that, cool new smartwatches like the Martian mVoice (now $129.99, 55% off in The National Memo Store) are upping the game, adding voice command technology so you can run your Amazon Alexa and all its voice-controlled functions right off your wrist.

The Martian looks like a clean, standard 24-hour analog watchface to the casual observer. However, tie its unobtrusive display window to its push notification capabilities and you can instantly follow your calendar events, texts, emails, phone calls, appointments, and app information with just a glance. This baby even provides turn-by-turn navigation when you’re out on the road.

Many functions can be accessed by simple voice commands and you can even sync the Martian to your Alexa to control all your home’s devices via voice from your wrist.

You can use the Martian as a remote to take pics from a linked smartphone or other device, as an alarm is you’re about to leave your phone somewhere or as a homing device to call your phone if you can’t remember where you set it down.

The Martian mVoice is expanding the options of what a smartwatch can be…so find out for yourself at more than half off its usual price ($295), now just $129.99 for a limited time.

Motorola Puts Smartwatch On Sale, Upgrades Phones

Motorola Puts Smartwatch On Sale, Upgrades Phones

Washington (AFP) — Motorola kicked off sales of its new smartwatch Friday, in a series of product launches which could be the last before the Google-owned electronics firm is sold to China’s Lenovo.

The company said its Moto 360 watch, which uses the Android Wear platform from Google for wearable technology, was going on sale starting at $249 for U.S. customers.

Motorola also unveiled upgraded versions of its flagship Moto X smartphone and lower-priced Moto G.

The Moto 360, which features a round face design similar to a classic wristwatch, “keeps you on time and up to date without taking you out of the moment or distracting you, telling you what you need to know before you know you need it through subtle alerts and notifications,” the company said in a statement.

“Moto 360 also responds to your voice. Just say ‘Ok Google’ to ask questions like who won the Stanford vs. New Mexico game or what time your flight leaves, or to get stuff done like scheduling an appointment, sending a text, setting an alarm or taking a note.”

The device will sell for $499 off-contract and as low as $99 through some carriers with a two-year contract. It will be offered later this month in North America, Asia, Europe and Latin America,

The Moto G, which also gets a boost in size, will be sold starting at $179 starting Friday in the U.S., Britain, India, France, Brazil, Spain and Germany.

By end of year, the upgraded Moto G will be available in “more than a dozen countries and through several carrier partners around the world,” Motorola said.

The launch comes just days ahead of a highly anticipated event by Apple, which is expected to unveil larger versions of its iconic iPhone, and possibly its own smartwatch.

Google announced earlier this year it signed a deal to sell the struggling smartphone maker to Chinese tech giant Lenovo for $2.91 billion. It is not known when the deal will be finalized.

Motorola has failed to gain traction in a rapidly evolving smartphone market now dominated by South Korea’s Samsung and U.S.-based Apple.
