Popular Fashion brand Fastrack (owned by Titan) has forayed into the fitness tracker market with the stylish looking Reflex. It has all the features and functionalities present on Xiaomi's Mi Band 2, but doesn't get a heart rate sensor.
Similar to Mi Band 2, the Reflex sports an OLED display, which shows time, date, battery level and fitness related data. It can also keep track of day to day activities including steps taken, distance traveled, calories consumed, sleep patterns and more. It also offers sedentary reminder, meaning, if you're inactive for long intervals, you'll be notified to move.
The fitness band is compatible with Android and iOS devices, and connects to them via Bluetooth, to notify the wearer of incoming calls texts or alarms. There's also a dedicated app called Reflex, which stores all fitness data collected by the tracker.
It is water resistant, and can run for up to 15 days on a single charge depending on the usage.
The Fastrack Reflex is priced at Rs. 1,995 and comes in Chic Purple, Distinctive Black and Dazzling Blue colors. It will be available in Titan and Fastrack stores starting today. Fastrack's Reflex will directly compete with Xiaomi Mi Band 2, which retails for Rs. 1,999.
Leading Indian watch maker Titan earlier this year entered the wearable segment with the JUXT smartwatch. Now the company has launched its successor, the JUXT Pro.
Unlike the JUXT which features a small rectangular OLED display, inside the analogue watch to display information, the JUXT Pro is a full touchscreen smartwatch with circular display. Design-wise, the Juxt Pro sports a premium three-piece stainless steel body and a genuine leather strap and comes in two variants – Matte Black and Silver Grey.
The Titan JUXT Pro is capable of tracking your daily activities, distance traveled and calories burned. Similar to other smartwatches, the JUXT Pro will offer email, calls, SMS, WhatsApp and Calendar notifications.

India's leading watchmaker Titan, which is part of Tata Group has forayed into the wearable technology. The company in partnership with HP has launched the Juxt smartwatch. Apart from India, Titan will be introducing the smartwatch in international markets including the U.S, U.K and Canada.
Titan's JUXT comes in three variants - Titanium, Stainless Steel and Rose Gold. The smartwatch can be paired via Bluetooth with any smartphones running Android 4.4 KitKat or iOS 8.1 and up operating systems. All three offer the same specs, the only difference being the color.
"The JUXT is driven by a dual caliber mechanism – housing an analog Titan
caliber 6130 and a digital module that drives the smartness (in reference to smartwatch). The
timepiece features a subtle honeycomb dial, 3D indices and a genuine
calf leather strap. (in reference to the watch)" said the company.
At first glance, the JUXT looks like a regular watch, but has a small rectangular OLED display at the bottom center, for its smartwatch capabilities. It displays notifications from connected devices such as calls, appointments, emails, texts, social media notifications and more. There is vibrating alert as well when you receive a notification. The smartwatch is waterproof for up to 5 ATM (50
metres).
The JUXT also has fitness tracking capabilities like Activity tracking with daily, weekly and monthly monitoring of fitness goals. Unfortunately it does not offer sleep tracking or heart rate monitoring. The smartwatch syncs with smartphone via dedicated app (Android and iOS) and shows the number of steps a user has taken, set daily activity goal and even lets you configure notification.
The smartwatch comes with two batteries one for the analogue elements and the other for digital elements. It promises battery life of 7 days.
The Titan JUXT Stainless Steel is priced at Rs. 15,995 while the Rose Gold and Titanium models are priced at 17,995 and Rs. 19,995 respectively. The smartwatches are available for pre-booking on www.titan.co.in/juxt and Myntra from January 21, 2016, onwards.
HP recently partnered with Movodo to release their BOLD Motion smartwatch, and now they are partnering with Titan to produce smartwatches. Titan is a joint venture between the Tata Group and Tamil Nadu
Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO).
The partnership between Titan and HP will aim to come up with smartwatches that feature innovative design, materials and technology. The company promises responsive and non-intrusive range of smartwatches. The smartwatches will be launched later this year in India as well as select international markets.
Ravi Kant, CEO of Titan watch and accessories division said that their
range of smartwatches will change the way people view the art of
timekeeping. Titan, the fifth largest watch maker in the world is yet to reveal details of the smartwatch.
Titan in the past, had also collaborated with fashion designer Michel Bastian on the HP MB Chronowing smartwatch.
