Problem
Smartwatches often require frequent charging, which can be inconvenient for users and limit their ability to continuously track health metrics and engage with their surroundings, especially during outdoor activities. The need for external charging also contributes to electronic waste and dependence on power sources.
Solution
Sequent offers a line of Swiss-made automatic smartwatches powered by an in-house developed, autonomous micromechanical movement that converts kinetic energy from the wearer's motion into electricity. This eliminates the need for battery charging, providing virtually infinite power autonomy as long as the watch is worn regularly. The watches incorporate cutting-edge health-monitoring sensors and connect to a companion mobile app for activity, sleep, and heart rate tracking. Select models also feature solar charging capabilities, extending standby time and reducing reliance on kinetic energy alone.
Target Audience
The target audience includes health-conscious individuals, outdoor enthusiasts, and environmentally aware consumers who value the convenience of a self-charging smartwatch with comprehensive activity tracking features.
