Here's What We Know
The watch has a 1.6″ AMOLED display with a resolution of 466×466 pixels and a peak brightness of 1500 nits.

The model has over a hundred sport modes, as well as sensors for monitoring heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep, fatigue and mood. Additionally, there is a compass, gyroscope, barometer, accelerometer and geomagnetic sensors.
Inside, there is an 810mAh battery that provides up to 100 days of standby time. There is also 4GB of inbuilt memory and Bluetooth 5.3 module for wireless connectivity. The watch is compatible with Android 5.0 and iOS 11.0 and above.
The Rogbid M2 is currently available through crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Backers can purchase the device starting at $149, while the retail price will be around $199.
