NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — GUESS Watches proudly announces worldwide availability of the new wearable tech timepiece, GUESS CONNECT.  Based on its global best-selling style called RIGOR, this boldly-styled smartwatch is powered by smartwatch award-winning leader Martian Watches’ technology marries beauty and brains in a chic fashionable line of smartwatches designed for men and women.

Distinguished as a CES 2015 Innovation Award Honoree earlier this year, the new GUESS CONNECT smartwatches simultaneously offer voice command functions while providing hands-free and eyes-free notifications to the wrist from thousands of popular apps and programs.  GUESS CONNECT watches are water resistant and compatible with both iOS and Android operating systems.

In addition, the GUESS CONNECT smartwatches uniquely house a fully-contained Martian module that sports a microphone and clear audio speaker.  This allows users to connect to their smartphone’s resident voice command app, so wearers can give voice commands, talk and listen, and respond to texts and emails directly from the watch.  Using the free iOS & Android App, users can also customize which notifications are received on the watch, recall the most recent notifications with just a tap of the watch glass and create customizable vibration patterns to distinguish the type of alert that is coming in, making the watch more intuitive and creating another level of efficiency for the user.

“We are excited to bring this blend of fashion and functionality to market to market,” said Cindy Livingston, President and CEO of Sequel / GUESS Watches.  “The subtle yet purposeful technology provides a needed lifestyle convenience and we are confident that these watches will be a favorite among watch wearers around the globe.”

The first watches available in the line include a variety of colors at a retail USD price starting at $379.00 and are available at GUESS retail stores throughout the U.S., as well as Macys.com, and other select stores worldwide.
