The Spice Smart Pulse M9010 is not just your average smartwatch, but a device which can deal with voice calling and send as well as receive text messages too. This essentially makes it a standalone handset and it will be launched via online retailer HomeShop18, on July 11.
So if calling and messaging are the only reasons for you owning a phone, then the Smart Pulse M9010 smartwatch may just serve the purpose well. It’s the first time Spice has delved into the smartwatch segment with this dual SIM device which runs on the company’s very own Java-based OS.
You can even browse the web on the little 1.5-inch 240 x 320p resolution screen on the Spice Smart Pulse M9010. Bet you won’t be able to do without your smartphone if you’re used to watching entertainment on the go. It’s a good thing this wearable isn’t all snooty when it comes to getting along with Android smartphones as it can be paired with these over Bluetooth.

Using the M9010 smartwatch with a phone will allow you to check out notifications, access the remote camera capturing function, go through call logs and stream music among other things. It features a 1.3MP camera and 8GB of expandable storage. Spice hasn’t clued us in with regards to processor and in-built memory details of this 41.7mm x 53.7mm x 13.6mm gadget.
The Smart Pulse M9010 is powered by a 420mAh Li-ion battery which is said to be good for almost 180 minutes of talk time. The wearable offers 2G GPRS/EDGE connectivity and support for FM radio too. Because we all love to get some extras with everything we pay for, the company will be throwing in a Bluetooth headset and a couple of swappable wristbands for free.
In case you want to pair the Spice Smart Pulse M9010 with an Android smartphone over Bluetooth, then you’ll need to download the provided APK file onto the latter.
