If you've heard of Elephone, you're probably thinking "phones with big batteries," but it turns out the company put together a very impressive Android Wear watch. It should be available soon for $115 shipped and it checks all the right boxes.
The Elephone ELE smartwatch has a large, round 1.5" display with 320 x 320px resolution. It's a TFT without the "flat tire" design that Moto couldn’t fix even in the second generation. It's one of the biggest round screens on a smartwatch.
The watch is powered by MediaTek's MT2601 chipset, which was specifically designed for wearables. It has two Cortex-A7 cores at 1.2GHz, a Mali-400 GPU and 512MB RAM. There's 4GB of storage too (note that they are listed in gigabits in the source link).
The ELE smartwatch is well equipped – a metal casing with an IP67 rating, changeable metal link or leather wrist strap, a heart rate sensor (something the affordable Zenwatch 2 does not have) and a relatively big 400mAh battery. The one thing that's missing is GPS.
The whole thing weighs 60g, but there's no word on the thickness.
