Smartwatches still have a way to go before they are commonplace. In the tech world, you can go a day without hearing smartwatch news, and now Armani is getting in the game. An Emporio Armani smartwatch has been unveiled and is one to watch if you are the luxurious type.

In Armani’s case, their Emporio Armani brand is joining with Fossil for the upcoming EA Connected Watch. While it doesn’t have a fancy moniker, it does have plenty of style…
Before you get too tickled at the thought of a full-fledged wearable from Armani, you’ll want to know this one keeps its Analog sensibilities. Yup, it has a regular old watch face although you will be able to connect this one to your favorite Android or iOS handset.

In addition to those features, the EA Connected Watch will also let you snap photos from your watch or control music playback. It has a long battery life as well thanks to quartz batteries which are said to deliver enough power for around 6-months sans charging. Are you a globetrotter? If so, you will certainly appreciate the fact the Emporio Armani smartwatch comes with a second time zone.
