As technology continues to evolve and people become more reliant on their phones, it allows a whole new type of smartwatch to emerge. The Breitling B55 Smartwatch is a mechanical watch and digital wingman designed for professional pilots who need mission-critical and flight information at their fingertips. So why wear this smartwatch and how is it different from all other smartwatches? good question. Read on and you'll know why.

What makes the Breitling Exospace B55 smartwatch unique?

They approach the engineering and design of the Exospace B55 from a completely different angle than any conventional smartwatch in the world. While most smartwatches are an extension of your smartphone, the Breitling Exospace B55 and mobile app turn your smartphone's app into an extension of your watch, allowing you to easily perform many tasks on the watch face that would take more time on your watch Professional functions such as switching time zones, setting alarms, setting timers, and various timing functions automatically correct the time, etc. Most impressively, the watch features digital and analog/mechanical readouts, making it ideal for many things other than flying, such as yachting, search and rescue operations, and more.

This is a watch designed for aviation professionals of the highest order. Some of these aviation perks include features in the Breitling Exospace mobile app for Android and the iOS version of the Breitling Exospace app for Apple iPhone, which allow the watch to perform advanced flight timing, such as the Chrono Flight feature that can record aircraft jam times. This means it can measure every step of a flight or mission, such as takeoff, takeoff, flight time, landing time and on-time interception. Plus, it can time your laps, uptime, countdown, and more.

Mechanically, the watch features Breitling's in-house B55 heat-compensated SuperQuartz movement, which is 10 times more accurate than a standard quartz movement. This type of accuracy is the type of function that earns the COSC-certified observatory designation. This new Breitling smartwatch features a custom lithium-ion rechargeable battery that can be charged via a charging cable that uses a unique magnetic connector to connect to the charging port at the 9 o'clock position on the side of the watch's black titanium case.

The connection is allowed by using BLE, which stands for Bluetooth Low Energy. This connection is used for data transfer, wireless synchronization, and remote settings such as date and automatic UTC time correction, in addition to the standard notifications that smartwatches are well-suited for, such as call notifications.

In addition to the timer, some interesting new features include a built-in inclinometer that intelligently knows when the watch is tilted to a 35° angle, which is used to check the time on the wrist. When tilted to a 35-degree angle, the high-brightness LCD backlight turns on for maximum visibility, then turns off when not checking the watch to avoid unwanted reflections on the windshield that interfere with the pilot's cockpit.
