Swatch Plans Smartwatch to Compete with Apple Watch’s Debut

One more hat tossed in the ring for the smartwatch market this week when the Swatch Group, makers of the ever popular Swatch watch, announced their intentions to debut their version of the Smartwatch within the next three months.

Swatch has decades of experience developing technology that might go into a smartwatch, such as long-lasting batteries so thin they’re bendable. The company’s Tissot brand has made watches with touch-screens since 1999 that now offer an altimeter, a compass, and sensors to record a diver’s descent.
