![]() The screen is also helpful in the dark, because although the watch hands don’t glow, the screen will show you the time, date, temperature, and other info. If you miss an alert, a sharp tap of the watch glass will make it reappear. The screen displays a scrolling ticker-not ideal, especially for long messages-but still helpful for knowing whether or not you need to reach for your phone. You can set the watch to vibrate in different patterns depending on the type of alert: phone call, text message, Facebook update, calendar appointment, and so on. The display lights up when you push a button or receive a notification, and notifications are definitely a Martian specialty. Like a traditional wristwatch, the Aviator sports an analog watch face, but with a small OLED window across the bottom. However, for short-burst activities like listening to your last text message or dictating a new one, this feature is awesome. Although I found the speaker quality to be fairly good considering its size, it’s just not comfortable to hold your wrist near your mouth for long periods. You can invoke Siri, Google (GOOGL) Now, or Samsung’s (SSNLF) S-Voice just by pressing a button, and also carry on phone conversations. Thanks to its built-in microphone and speaker, the Aviator lets you interact with your phone even when your phone isn’t nearby. The aforementioned Apple (AAPL) and Pebble watches are much slimmer, despite packing color screens and other advanced gadgetry. Plus, it’s quite chunky, and therefore a little uncomfortable on the wrist. Nice though it looks, I must admit it feels a little cheap. All watches share the same features, and all-but the Electra E10 ($299)-are priced at $249. The all-white Electra S10 and crystal-ringed E10 were definitely designed with ladies in mind, while the all-black Alpha T10 and Envoy G10 should appeal to men. ![]() With its brown leather strap, black bezel, and understated beige face, the B10 is arguably the classiest-looking model in the collection. It’s a smartwatch designed for those who value fashion over features. The Aviator-one of five new watches in Martian’s Voice Command series-includes a speaker and microphone so you can have phone conversations with your wrist, Dick Tracy-style. The Martian Aviator B10 looks like your average Timex, but secretly delivers the single best feature of any smartwatch: notifications.
