Festina Connected D Design and Features Overview
The wristwatch attracts attention with its massive round case (⌀45 mm), made in a modern version of the classic style. It is made of titanium, which ensures the strength and durability of the product, and also makes it light (84 g), and therefore comfortable for everyday wear. The case has a neutral gray color, it will suit any clothes.

Sapphire crystal is highly durable and perfectly transparent. Large indices and numbers, as well as hands with bright accents, make it easy to read the time. Thanks to the luminescent backlight, they glow in the dark, making the watch convenient to use at night.
The digital OLED screen is located at the bottom of the dial and is hexagonal in shape, which, you must admit, is quite unusual for a smartwatch. The display is the same color as the entire dial, and therefore fits perfectly into the overall color scheme of the model.
The interface is minimalistic, focused on convenience and conciseness, displaying only important data.
The display is activated by pressing the digital head. The screen is navigated by turning the head, allowing you to view menus and lists.
Strap

Autonomy is one of the strongest points of this smartwatch. The battery holds a charge for up to 10 days even with active use. When it is discharged to 10%, the watch mechanism will continue to work, and the display will turn off. This will extend the operation of the device for another 7 days until the battery is completely discharged, after which the hands will automatically point to “12”, as an indicator of completion.
The watch comes with a charging station. If there is 10% charge left, it will take an hour and a half to charge. If the gadget is completely discharged, it will take 3 hours.
