Android wear doesn’t support network connectivity and TruSmart+ has a modem which supports HSPA DPA 7.2Mbps/UPA 5.76Mbps, EDGE, GPRS as well as GSM Quad Band 2G: 900/850/1900/1800 or WCMDA 2100MHz. Many OEMs revealed they will join efforts with Google and develop smartwatches powered by the new OS.

The Omate TrueSmart+ doesn’t run Android Wear, rather a full version of Android 5.1 Lollipop with Omate’s OUI 3.0 software overlay.

One of the notable differences between Omate smartwatches and those often spoken about in the Android world, is that these do not run on Android Wear.

These days, most smartwatches are glorified yet less capable companions to smartphones and tablets, but there was a time when some wearables proudly proclaimed their independence. Instead you can search for watch-friendly apps in the Ostore app store. I personally feel slightly uncomfortable yet to walk around on the streets messing around with a smartwatch, checking Facebook or browsing tons of Android games, but perhaps that is just my vainness in action. Inside, the TrueSmart+ is loaded with 1GB of RAM and comes powered by a MediaTek (MT6572M) processor (clocking at 1 GHz).

The wearable measures 44 x 44 x 14.2 mm, it’s made of zinc, and it accommodates a 1.54-inch curved capacitive TFT screen with a resolution of 320 x 320 which have pretty much became standard for the smartwatch market.

The watch comes with 600 mAh battery and in stand by the watch needs 8mA.

Omate is opening up pre-orders for its new smartwatches on September 22.

The Omate TrueSmart+ is basically a watch-shaped phone. The company estimates that the device will be shipped to your door in November 2015. Oddly enough, the pricier model doesn’t have a built-in camera like its predecessor but Omate says it has a TSi model with one. The Omate TrueSmart+ costs $169 while the TrueSmart-i goes for $149.
