No computer for wrists: Swatch to launch peppy, simple smartwatches soon

Watchmaker Swatch has revealed that it plans to release multiple smartwatches in the coming time.

According to the Engadget, Nick Hayek, CEO of Swatch has told this to a newspaper during an interview.

Also, the company is also releasing NFC-equipped, payment-capable watches later this year.

Hayek said he does not want a multi-purpose computer for the wrist or to depend on outside companies for help.

The users are more likely to see simple, focused devices that just happen to do more than tell the time.

Hayek told the paper Swatch would launch Touch Zero Two at next year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
