We have seen our fair share of smart watches in the past, but here we are with a relatively smart watch – the Epson E200 wrist watch pulse monitor. As its name suggests, the Epson E200 is a revolutionary and yet simple-to–use timepiece that will also be able to keep track of your pulse, courtesy of Epson’s advanced sensing technology incorporated within. The Epson E200 is part of Epson’s plan to grow their healthcare device business, and it does seem to be a good start. Using the Epson-made sensor, the E200 will measure your pulse rate through contact with your wrist, while the LCD display points out the amount of exercise that you need in order to raise your heart rate to a level that burns fat.
