Martian Notifier review

 

Meeting the bare minimum of an analog smartwatch

Simple pairing ; Instantaneous notifications ; Works on Android and iOS

Large and bulky ; Extremely limited functionality ; Expensive for what it actually is

Scores in depth Smartwatches have gotten a lot better looking over the past year with new attractive models. Some devices even look the part of a traditional timepiece including the Moto 360 and LG G Watch R and Samsung Gear S. But if you're looking...

Martian Notifier review

 

The £130 alert-obsessed Martian Notifier could be the perfect first smartwatch

Essentially an analogue watch ; Custom vibrations work nicely ; iOS and Android compatible ; Works with lots of apps

Needs charges every three-four days ; Limited to alerts ; Tweaked microUSB cable for charging ; Not waterproof ; Small screen

Affordable, simple and (relatively) stylish, the Notifier has its limits but is still a practical, reliable smartwatch

Review: Martian Notifier watch

 

Another day, another connected watch.

The only real caveat I found is that Martian watches, though still using microUSB to charge, required a custom charger where the physical USB port is longer than a standard (to fit into the charging slot) microUSB. So if you happen to forget – or lose...

Martian Notifier

 

The Martian Notifier brings plenty of notifications to a classic wristwatch design, but if you're looking to run apps from your wrist, this isn't the smartwatch for you.

Reasonable price. Fairly classic design. Many notification options.

Tiny OLED display. Little functionality aside from notifications.

Features and Conclusions Once connected, the Notifier is capable of delivering a number of notifications from your smartphone to a 0.7-inch OLED display at the bottom of the watch face. The one-line display is monochrome and features 96-by-16-pixel...

Martian Notifier review: This smartwatch is smarter than it looks

 

The Martian Notifier smartwatch is affordable and offers an excellent phone alert experience despite its smooth analog style.

The affordable Martian Notifier is a whiz at smartphone alerts and has classic analog style for mainstream appeal. The Notifier supports both Android and iOS devices.

Charging the Notifier’s Bluetooth radio and other mobile electronics requires a proprietary cable. The watch is splashproof, but not fully water-resistant.

If you’re looking for a way to get subtle phone alerts on your wrist without busting the budget, it’s hard to top the Martian Notifier.

The people at Martian believe that smartwatches will entice mainstream shoppers only when they function as standard timepieces first and deliver rock-solid phone smarts second. That's why the company believes it has a real winner in the new Martian...
