Swiss watchmakers presented some smrtwatches such as Breitling B55 Connected and Tag Heuer Connected. Now Victorinox Swiss Army developed a new smartwatch-the Victorinox Inox Cybertool watch. Front of Victorinox Inox smartwatch

Victorinox has already used the Cybertool name – which sounds to us more like an interactive sex toy – for a line of knives, but the new Cybertool is a completely different beast. Developed by Acer, the smartphone-connected add-on attaches to the Inox body, putting an LED surround around the watch face. Victorinox Inox smartwatch dial
The Cybertool includes a built-in accelerometer and tracks things like workout time, steps and calories burned. It connects to an iPhone or Android phone to deliver phone call and message notifications and offer a push-button “help” function that sends out an emergency message with GPS location to three contacts. It also gives you a “find my phone” feature, multi-time zone display and LED backlight.Victorinox Inox smartwatch detail
With its TPU body and Gorilla Glass display, the Cybertool adds 24 g (0.85 oz) of weight to the watch. It offers an estimated five to seven days of use per charge from a 60 mAh non-replaceable lithium-polymer battery. It’s not nearly as good in the water as the Inox watch itself, but it is listed at IPX7. The accompanying app works with Android 4.4.2+ and iOS 8.0+.Victorinox Inox smartwatch-cybertool
The Cybertool does a good job of updating the Inox Swiss Army watch with smart features, but it doesn’t do a great job of leaving the watch’s classic looks intact. The not-particularly-stylish accessory erases the Inox’s rugged good looks like an oversized T-shirt on a shapely woman. The good news is that it’s designed to be easily put on and taken off, so you can slap it on during after-work exercise and have it off in time for drinks immediately after.

The Victorinox Swiss Army INOX Cybertool is just one of a host of interesting tactics traditional watch makers have used in order to not only connect themselves with the still fresh smart wearables market,
