LAS VEGAS—Misfit has stayed away from wearables with screens. From its most basic Shine tracker to its Phase hybrid smartwatch, the company has focused on fashion first. But at CES 2017, Misfit announced the Vapor smartwatch. Not only is the Vapor the first Misfit device with a digital touchscreen, it sports many other smartwatch features that Misfit has typically foregone for the sake of simplicity.
The Vapor looks a lot like the Phase. With its 44mm round case, you could mistake it for a regular wristwatch. But instead of an analog face, the Vapor has a 1.39-inch, 326ppi AMOLED display. Inside is a Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, an accelerometer, altimeter, gyroscope, optical heart rate monitor, GPS, and microphone. All of those things in one device mean you'll be able to track most activities, including outdoor exercises that benefit from an onboard GPS that maps running and cycling routes. The Vapor also has 4GB of memory as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, so you can store music on the watch, sync wireless headphones, and rock out to your jams during a workout while leaving your smartphone at home. Misfit estimates the Vapor will last two days on a single charge, which puts it in line with devices like the Apple Watch.
