Matrix Industries is proclaiming that its newest smartwatch is “the world’s first smartwatch you never have to recharge.” After an exhaustive search for another smartwatch that is powered entirely by your body heat (to no avail), I hereby crown the Matrix PowerWatch the most innovative smartwatch hitting the market. With an estimated ship date scheduled for September (2017), I can’t wait to strap this wearable piece of innovative tech on my wrist.

Whether it’s measuring calories burned, activity level, or sleep metrics, the Matrix PowerWatch combines thermoelectric technology with an intuitive power meter. Equipped with an iOS/Android compatible app, users can access a full suite of data around their day-to-day health. Arguably one of the PowerWatch’s coolest wearable tech features: the power meter informing users how much electrical energy can generate throughout the day.
After a full day of powering Matrix’s smartwatch using your own body heat, your data is safely stored in its memory after you turn it off. Upon waking up and turning your watch back on – the PowerWatch restores itself exactly where you left off. If you’re ever concerned about battery power or your energy consumption, just look at your watch face and look for the PowerMeter. The intuitive interface will always keep you updated on how much electricity your body heat is producing.
There are four major features built-into the Matrix PowerWatch:
The Calorie Counter – As your body turns calories into heat, the PowerWatch accurately measures the calories you burn using Matrix Industries’ advanced thermoelectric technology.
The Step Counter – Using a powerful sensor, the PowerWatch is capable of tracking the number of steps you take to make sure you’re staying active.
The Sleep Tracker – Making sure that you stay on a preset sleep/wake up schedule, PowerWatch monitors your sleep quality so you never have to worry about having to change your watch in the morning.
Water Resistant at 50 Meters – The Matrix PowerWatch holds one of the highest waterproof ratings of any smartwatch currently on the market, according to the company’s website.
As with most smart devices, it comes with an intuitive companion app that lets you manage your watch’s functionality while analyzing your own performance metrics. Whether you want to track calories, the number of steps you’ve taken, or simply how well you’re sleeping at night, the PowerWatch app is your central portal of all things health and wellness. If you’re the competitive type (and if you’re buying this watch, you certainly are), the app allows you to set up competition with friends to see who can reach their fitness goals the fastest.
With an estimated ship date scheduled for September (2017), Matrix Industries is poised to disrupt the wearable tech industry with its awesome PowerWatch.
Watch out for this company. I supported them on Indiegogo and gave them $179. When the watch I ordered kept getting delayed and info kept getting smaller and smaller, I asked for my refund. A month later they still will not give me my money back and just send one or two no action emails saying they are processing it. They have a phone # that only directs to the email addresses that they do not respond to.
DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY! DO TRUST THEM!

Matrix!!
I ordered the Power Watch X in kickstarter this past spring but they keep pushing back the ship out date further and further back. First it was September, then early October, then after multiple unawsered emails and phone calls, I was told “before Christmas”….Now it’s looking like it won’t be till next year. I shouldn’t have to hound any company like this for updates, especially when they are failing to deliver. I’m still hopeful that the watch will be awesome, but as of now, that Apple watch is looking better and better…

I have the watch on my wrist right now. It looks pretty good. Apart from that, it’s a dud. NOT A SMARTWATCH!!! I keeps time and has a stop watch. I’ve worn it for a few days now and other “functions” just don’t work. It’s too dark to read except in the brightest light. The night light is so dim it might as well not have one. The sleep tracker does nothing at all. You can’t change the watch face. The step counter is waaaaay off. (Although I haven’t slept in days, i do usually log a quarter of a mile or more while i sleep). Hell this watch doesn’t even have an alarm. It’s a cheap digital watch that should cost about $20. It will never need batteries, but it does SO LITTLE, that even if it had a traditional battery in it, that battery would last much longer than the rest of the watch. SO woopty doooo. Don’t bother.

do not waste your time and your money with this stupid company.
i also order it in 2016/11/26 but now 2018/02/17 i can not receive my watch.
i also asked for refund but i never receiver the answer from this company.
I truly can’t rate the watch because I haven’t received it yet. I ordered in Dec 17 and was told that I would receive it in Jan 18, it is now Mar 18 and I keep getting the same message… be a little more patient and once in a while they will send out an email and show pictures that they are getting ready to ship some watches. I haven’t asked for my money back… but I have stated an investigation with the Better Business Bureau and see what will come of that. But from what I have read from the above comments… I am not the only one with the same problem.
