IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire -08/16/12)- Martian Watches, an Irvine, California-based developer of unique personal wireless communication solutions, announced today it is introducing, through the Kickstarter funding platform, a next-generation Bluetooth smart watch that allows users clear two-way voice communication through their watch and hands-free use of their smartphone's voice commands.

The stylish Martian-branded "voice command watch" will allow Android and iPhone users to talk, listen, be notified of incoming calls and texts, answer, reply, and initiate voice commands, all without their phones leaving their pocket or purse.

Those who want to see and hear Martian in action may visit http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/martianwatches. Early adopters may pre-order watches and help fund production.

"To make a watch truly smart you have to give it a voice, literally. We've done just that with Martian," said Jeffrey Hsieh, CEO of Martian Watches. "Imagine being on a ski slope and a friend calls to see what time you want to meet for lunch. With Martian, you can see who is calling, answer the call, agree on a time, and hang up -- all without taking off your gloves and digging your phone out of a zippered pocket."

Placing the Power of Communication on Your Wrist

Martian offers a host of features that both complement and enhance your smartphone experience, including:

Three Styles at Launch to Fit Your Fancy

Martian Watches will be available in 3 styles -- Passport, a classic, professional style; Victory, a larger, bolder design; or G2G, which comes in 4 vibrant colors plus white. All of the watches will have the same internal componentry, functionality, 2+-hour talk time, and always-on analog watch face that will run for up to 30 days on a single charge.

The Passport, Victory and G2G Watches also include an OLED caller ID display, vibration motor, and LED light to provide incoming call, text and event notifications. An integrated magnetometer and 3-axis accelerometer allow for future app development. The expected retail price will range from $179 to $229, but for a limited time can be pre-ordered on Kickstarter at nearly half off of these prices.
