It's no secret that adoption rates for smartwatches haven't been monumental, so brands are responding with alternatives like the Kronaby Apex watch that offer something of a hybrid experience.

Rather than being a smartwatch or a standard timepiece, the Kronaby Apex sits somewhere in the middle in order to make it a more applicable accessory for users. The watch features a regular battery that doesn't need to be charged, will receive notifications of your choosing, tracks physical activity and even automatically changes time zones when you're traveling. The Kronaby Apex also operates as a remote control for your smartphone camera, lets you know where your smartphone is if your misplace it and can even send out an emergency signal if you're in danger.
