The name Alcatel Onetouch doesn’t come up often, apart from being mentioned for purchasing Palm trademarks, but we thought this news was too good to pass up. If you’re wondering what those smartwatch devices are in the image above, they are part of the Alcatel Onetouch Watch line that Alcatel is planning to announce and show at CES 2015 next week. Taking that simple, round watch face that made the Moto 360 so drool-inducing, I think the Alcatel Onetouch Watch looks similarly fantastic too (though the name is a little uninspired).
However, Alcatel makes no mention of whether the device will be running Android Wear but if the photo above is anything to go by, it’s possible there is some forking or a custom operating system going on. The Watch (seriously, how did they come up with this name) is also supposed to be cheap with Alcatel saying “The smartly priced WATCH creates a newly attainable smartwatch category” which would be impressive if it came in under the $199 ASUS ZenWatch, though you have to wonder what the smartwatch is missing for that price.
Regardless, we’re hoping to see a bit more of the device at CES 2015, so stay tuned next week for our coverage via our brand-spanking-new live blog page.
