If you’re interested in reading about it as a watch in detail, I recommend that you head over to Grail Watch and read my post there, How Good Is the Mondaine Helvetica Smart Watch?

The model follows the design of the Mondaine Helvetica No 1 Bold watch; stainless-steel case, off-white dial with a date display sub-dial and a smooth suede-leather strap. It’s for those who dislike the complex and “in your face” Apple Watch but don’t want an ugly rubber activity tracking band.Since this is my watch blog, this review focuses mainly on the core question: As a watch, how good is this new Mondaine watch?

From above, the case is deceptively classic looking; it’s essentially a circle with tapering lugs coming out of it. Measuring 44 x 50 x 13mm, it’s a big watch, but one that wears a bit smaller due to the short lug-to-lug and nice proportions.It’s the kind of design that depends on good machining to succeed, which it has and is genuinely very attractive because of it. Material of the case is Stainless Steel, which stands for a high quality of the item while the dial colour is White. This piece on the other hand has a date display and smart information sub dial at the 6 o'clock position.
