NEXD Android Watches are Multifunctional and Sleek

— October 15, 2012 — Tech
The NEXD Android watches do more than simply telling time or glowing in the dark. Incorporating Android technology, these watches will allow users to hook up to the Internet and video chat with friends on the go.

It's hard to imagine that anyone who would own this watch to want to revert back to a chunky cell phone. Despite smartphones getting thinner and lighter, they're not going to be as compact as a snazzy wristband. Trying to squish all that technology into a tiny wristwatch isn't easy, and the NEXD Android watches do so without sacrificing any style.

Besides the face of the watch, the band also has embedded features like battery power and micro USB slots. Other functions include fitness monitors, social media, cameras, music, calendars and anything else your Android smartphone is already equipped to do.
