The launch of the first TAG Heuer smartwatch on the market was the starting signal for the main luxury watch brands to start betting on smart smartwatches. After having seen how the first model was a success, after selling more than 56.000 units of the 20.000 initially planned, the rest of the Swiss manufacturers have seen how this is the path they must begin to follow if they want to continue being an option for the clients in this sector. A few days ago we informed you of the Movado, Montblanc and Guess plans to launch their first smartwatches with Android Wear throughout this year. The firm Gc has been added to this list.

Android Wear 2.0 will be present in this device but will not hit the market until the end of this year.
