Smart watches are big news at the moment, from Samsung's rumoured wristwear to the insane time piece that totes a 41-megapixel camera. But just how usable are they? Cookoo is a successful Kickstarter-backed project that takes a traditional watch design...
The Cookoo doesn't look like a smart watch, more like your everyday wristwear. It comes in a few bright colours as well as black or white. The soft-touch rubber coating feels nice against the skin, and even attracted a few compliments. And that's before anyone actually knew what it did.Sync it to your iPhone or Android device via Bluetooth, and it can act as a remote control. Perch your handset o...
One of the main draws of the Cookoo is it'll send push alerts right to your watch, but they're not very reliable. Often they don't trigger, or they do but much later than the event they're supposed to signify. They're also quite annoying: post something on Facebook, and if it's popular, you'll quickly drown in a cascade of bleeps and buzzes.The meaning of the Cookoo's icons aren't fantastically o...
The Cookoo watch looks great and has a couple of nice features, but at $129.99 (£82.90), it's too expensive for what it is. It's no better at alerting you than your smart phone, and the confusing controls mean you're less likely to use it. The impressi...

Of this lot, the Cookoo smart watch is the round peg in a square hole, with its minimalist design and analogue clock movement.But its circular watch face is actually a digital display that is able to show icons to notify you of an incoming call, acalen...

If you have ever looked at a smartwatch and thought the premise of phone functionality on a tiny wrist screen seemed ridiculous, it is time you rethink the concept. The Cookoo blends the aesthetics of a standard analog watch with the unobtrusive and non-d...

It's not quite like my dress watch but rather chunky, cumbersome and connected. Oh wait! Being connected is actually quite good as the COOKOO , just like its "real life" counterpart in some European clocks, is an announcer of sorts. For the times when you...
So, is it worth it? For around $155 it seems quite reasonable to invest in some future functionality if you absolutely have to be notified of every single message coming across your smart phone. Personally, I might hold out for the Mark 2 model, which hop...
