IWC Connect Is Another Swiss Watchmaker's Answer To The Smartwatch
IWC Connect is an electronic module that will be included on some IWC watch straps, adding fitness tracking functionality to IWC watches, as well as the ability to connect to the Internet of Things (IoT). The first IWC watches to get IWC Connect will be those in their Big Pilot's watch collection. In concept, IWC Connect is very similar to the Montblanc E-Strap (hands-on here), which was a "smart" notification and fitness tracking module that watches-dealer debuted in late 2014 (which garnered a remarkable amount of opinion).Each of these solutions conveys the very specific message by traditional watchmakers that they understand their customers want to enjoy the latest technology, but don't want to feel as though they are giving up (or having to make a difficult decision about) their traditional mechanical watches that they so enjoy.

You don't have a lot of extra steel to the edges of the dial - just the bezel, and then its onto the side of the case.And, for this model, that's where things really shine. ?Prior to this model being introdu
