Most folks here are into classical design with their watches, and I do love the look â but for me a watch needs to deliver more than just the time. I've been wearing Garmin (Fenix 5S Plus, if you need do know) and couldn't wait for something which looks a bit less 'techy'. I also barely used its features, and the device is too expensive for what it offered to me. Now I switched to a Kronaby Nord, and I've been wearing it for a month and feel like I can report on it. First off, I love the design. The watch face is simple, the bezel looks nice, and of course it uses sapphire glass. Unfortunately, the less is said about the vegetable leather wristband, the better. But that one is easy to replace at least. Price point is around 250âŹ. As far as smart features go, it has a step counter, multiple vibration alarms and notifications you can set up on the phone, and a countdown timer â this countdown timer is what I really want in a smart watch. I often quickly set a timer directly on the watch for when I need to leave for the bus, so that I can relax and socialize until then. You can also remote control devices or media playback on the phone. Not all is perfect with this watch: The vibration alarm could be way stronger, I couldn't use it to wake up in the morning. The watch uses a standard watch battery (1-2 years run time according to website), so probably they want to save on energy consumption with this, but I'd prefer to have to charge it every month and have a noticeable alarm. The app could be a bit higher quality, and in general the company tries to appear more premium than it really is. It even shows in the name: They call themselves "Kronaby of Sweden" but are based in Spain. No problem with that, but I wish they would put more effort into actual quality vs. appearance of quality. It's a solid product, but I think they could compete with premium watch brands with a bit more effort.
