Matrix Powerwatch X | Self-charging smartwatch!
Unboxing, setup and full tour of the Matrix Powerwatch X, a smartwatch and fitness tracker powered by your body heat.
Forget about chargers and cables, the Powerwatch X uses good old fashioned thermal power instead. This wearable is impressively rugged too, one of the most water resistant smartwatches of 2018, complete with a chunky and tough 50mm chassis.
That basic monochrome screen helps to reduce power consumption and the Powerwatch X is also lacking when it comes to features. As far as fitness tracking goes, it’s steps, distance and calorie count only – there’s no GPS, HR or NFC support. A running mode and stopwatch is about as complicated as things get.
Here we show you what’s in the box and run through setup with the Matrix app. We also tour the Powerwatch hardware and software so you know what to expect.
Is the Powerwatch X one of the best fitness smartwatches of 2018? Sadly the lack of functionality lets it down, although the smart charging tech and rugged design makes it ideal for outdoor use. Let us know your thoughts below!

The Powerwatch X is rather basic, with no GPS, HR monitoring or NFC – but it's also rugged as hell and never needs plugging in, thanks to its innovative body heat system. Tempted? Let us know your thoughts below!
Unfortunately there are many complaints about the seller's suitability, they have left many supporters without receiving the product, including I am one of them, one of the first 2000 backers, fighting to receive the product.
I contacted IndieGogo, but they are not responsible, even with all the complaints, still allow the release of the 2 model, which today has collected almost 2 million dollars. Unfortunately this platform has no respect for consumers who unfortunately believe in the creators and want to help their financing.
What is the recharge time when i have the ? flu.
Powerwatch X is uselles. Better buy Basic watches, because Notifications feature is working for few hous only. You need to restart watches to repairing with a phone. All metrics collected are not correct. So you have just watch powered by your body.
Yetersiz ışık loş ortamda görünmüyor. bir el feneri taşımak zorundasın. Faydalı değil. Akıllı bir saat olarak değil kolunuzdaki süsü kullanın
We need an OLED you can tattoo to your skin. That runs on calories.
A better Sporttracker, no Smartwatch………
The one with..”..dual charge option..”..(..solar charging + heat charging..)..is optimal for nowadays lifestyle…!!!..
It's just a step counting watch
Does it charge at night normally quite warm in a bed
Will it charge on a radiator British
Took a while to find an unbiased review of this. Thanks for not trying to sell this!
You kidding me! The company is called "Matrix". Machines using human body heat for power??? Omg. Fellow Humans this is the start of Cybertron 🙁
I have seen porn watch x
Orrible
As a nurse I did 25,000 steps in an 8-hour shift. As a nurse's aide I did 29,000 steps. Our unit is 300 feet long add 50 for the dining room. FitBit Blaze. Does this thing control the music on my phone?
Damn, can't charge in 90 degree weather? WTF so it's useless in the summer…
the number one enemy of battery life is charging while using
Is this 200m water resistant ?
Looks really uncomfortable to wear. I was going to get it but I'm glad I didn't. I like what they are doing with the tech. Hopefully they will have a next-generation of models that have more/better features.
Got this watch for a few days now. Still can't update the firmware due to android app crashing.
My fear is that the marks on your arm are from the watch .
I too am a man with small wrists. We are not alone. I feel your ever
so slightly inconvenienced pain.
