While some will likely shy away from calling the Razer Nabu Watch a smartwatch, the new timepiece from the gaming-focused technology brand is definitely outfitted with a number of smart features.
Aside from tracking activity and sleep, the Razer Nabu Watch features a shake-to-share feature as well as the ability to track smartphone notifications and more. What sets the connected watch apart from other wearables on the market is the rather low-tech design; instead of offering a small display, the Razer Nabu Watch has an LED screen.
The rugged design of the timepiece fits in well with other products from the brand, which comes in either the standard edition or Forged Edition that is packed extra-strength stainless steel buttons.
