The award-winning smartwatch powered by body heat and solar power will be shipping this Summer after raising a record $2M+ from pre-orders.
June 17, 2019 – Menlo Park, CA – MATRIX Industries - the materials science pioneers radically changing the way we harvest and use previously wasted energy - will be displaying all PowerWatch Series 2 models at Outdoor Retailer. With PowerWatch's success, MATRIX validated the charging pain point in the smartwatch space, and now with more than $2-million in pre-orders, PowerWatch Series 2, PowerWatch Series 2 Premium and PowerWatch Series 2 LUXE are taking the zero-charge game to the next level. The next generation of PowerWatch builds upon MATRIX’s proprietary thermoelectric technology introduced in PowerWatch and PowerWatch X, and adds an additional method of energy harvesting – all new solar cell technology. With the increases in power and efficiency across the board, PowerWatch Series 2 comes standard with a completely new set of functions, including features like built-in intelligent heart-rate monitoring capabilities, a full-color display and onboard GPS. All PowerWatch Series 2 models are available for pre-order on PowerWatch.com today, starting at $399.
March to the Beat of Your Own Heart.
PowerWatch Series 2 is designed with improved thermoelectric generators and all-new solar-cell technology, constantly generating more than enough energy to operate the built-in intelligent heart-rate monitor, wherever, whenever.

With more energy than ever before, PowerWatch Series 2 introduces the first full-color LCD display powered by thermoelectric and solar energy, adding color to the power of you.
Location. Location. Location.
Always-on onboard GPS makes PowerWatch Series 2 the ultimate tool for anyone mapping out their run, hike or ride, and allows users to leave their phones at home.
With the introduction of HR and GPS functionality, PowerWatch Series 2 - and its all-new iOS/Android companion apps - can now provide users with even more useful health and fitness metrics, including the most accurate calorie count industry-wide, pace, distance, steps, sleep, cadence, and more. PowerWatch Series 2 is also integrating third party fitness platforms like Apple HealthKit and Google Fit, and is water resistant up to 200m.
While PowerWatch Series 2 dramatically increases the amount of energy available to the charge-free wearable, MATRIX’s materials science and hardware engineers were able to also further miniaturize both the thermoelectric (TEG) and solar-cell processes, decreasing PowerWatch Series 2’s weight and size even more, while maintaining the rugged aluminum build that consumers fell in love with.
