The watch industry is always evolving
When Festina set out to create hybrid smartwatches that combined timeless design with cutting-edge health monitoring, CSEM decided to help bring their vision to life. For the health-conscious user, the company extended its Connected portfolio to include models that focus on health and wellness with help from CSEM’s optical sensors and movement analysis algorithms.
“The watch industry is always evolving. Our customers want more than a nice-looking watch. Their new watch should support them in their daily life with the help of the latest technology,” explains Mattias Wideheim, CEO, Festina Group Technology.
A comprehensive wellness tool
Incorporating CSEM’s technology, Festina’s smartwatches now feature capabilities such as heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and energy expenditure analysis, offering users a comprehensive wellness tool. Additionally, the watches include CSEM’s unique solution for optimizing battery life by detecting when a watch is worn or not, using a combination of accelerometer and infrared signals.
The collaboration has delivered tangible results, significantly enhancing customer satisfaction and trust. “With CSEM’s algorithms, our watches now deliver precise heart rate data, drawing positive feedback from our users,” Wideheim notes. Festina’s smartwatches stand out in the market with their hybrid ‘smart’ design, which not only measures physiological parameters but also provides innovative biomarkers and health insights. This combination has the potential to attract a broader audience and contribute to a healthier society.
