The Nord Watch bears a squircle dial with curved edges and a functional, push-button crown on the right. It sports a zinc alloy and plastic body, and a silicon strap. The IP68-rated smartwatch boasts a 1.78-inch (368x448 pixels) AMOLED screen with a 60Hz refresh rate and 500-nits of brightness. It comes in Midnight Black and Deep Blue colors.
The wearable delivers 10 days of usage per charge
The Nord Watch can monitor heart rate, daily steps, and calories burned. The wearable also offers tracking features related to blood oxygen, sleep, stress levels, and female health. It houses an accelerometer that automatically detects exercise activities, and supports 105 exercises. The watch comes with Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity and packs a 230mAh battery which offers up to 10 days of active usage.
