No.1 take the smartwatch concept one step closer to being phone independent with the new No.1 D5 with built in 3G and WIFI.
We have seen No. 1 release smartphones with GSM support in the past, but the D5 takes things a few steps further with the inclusion of 3G and WIFI. Traditional smartwatches, even Android Wear device, rely on being connected to a phone or tablet for connecting to the internet, but the No.1 D5 tries to remove that dependency.

With built in 3G support it means the D5 can connect to the web directly while also giving you the ability to make phone calls from your wrist too. WIFI is a bonus too meaning connectivity without using your data plan.
The design of the watch is a traditional style with round 360 x 360 display, and a leather wrist strap. The watch runs a Mediatek MT6752 chipset, Android 4.4, and has Bluetooth 4.0.
Its impressive to see a large 450mAh battery in this IP65 device, and for those of you planning to run this watch on your network, band support includes GSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100.
