Timex appears to be readying an alarm clock that doubles as a wireless phone charger. A new Timex Alarm Watch with wireless charging has been certified by the Wireless Power Consortium, hinting at a launch soon. Just place your phone on top of the clock to start charging.
A wireless charger built into an alarm clock
Timex has added wireless charging to the top surface of what looks like a traditional alarm watch. The Wireless Power Consortium certification, granted a few days ago, shows a cylindrical table-top design with a flat surface for wireless charging. The front houses a display screen that shows the time in red LED light.
5W output and a TW300 model number
The listing rates the charger's power output at 5 watts and lists a registration date of 20 November. The device carries the model number TW300. Timex has not officially announced it, and there is no word yet on a launch date or which markets it will reach - though certification suggests an announcement may be near.
Timex's recent iConnect smartwatch
Timex recently launched the iConnect Premium Active Smartwatch in India. It offers silicon and stainless steel strap options and a colour touchscreen display, with an IP68 water-resistant rating. Features include a heart rate monitor, call and message notifications, a sedentary reminder, activity tracking, sleep tracking and music playback control. Timex claims up to 5 days of battery life on a full charge, and the watch is priced at Rs 6,995 in India.
