London: Samsung has Galaxy Gear, Apple is rumoured to be working on an iWatch and you have seen the Pebble.
But a new smartwatch on the block claims to be cleverer than its rivals because it offers an experience much closer to using a smartphone.

It can connect to both iOS and Android devices to allow a wearer to make calls and send and receive text messages, as well as offering full web access and a number of other features. The Rufus Cuff is currently a prototype but will have a 3-inch screen once the Los Angeles-based start-up, Rufus Labs, has raised the cash required to start production.

The watch cannot connect to a phone network on its own, but digitally linked up to a smartphone, users will be able to make and receive voice and video calls plus text messages.
Vibrating and light alerts will be used to let users known when they have mail or a call.
&ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t want your call overheard, simply switch off the speaker and continue by holding your wrist up to your ear or put the call back on your smartphone,&rdquo; the firm said.
