Misfit Vapor 2 specifications

The Misfit Vapor 2 comes in two display sizes of 1.19-inch with 41mm case and a 1.39-inch display with a 46mm case. Both displays are backed with AMOLED that manages 328PPI. Powering the watch is the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 SoC, which is a little dated since the new Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor is up in the market.

The main feature of the watch is the built-in GPS and NFC. With this in place, users will now be able to track distance, elevation, speed and time during runs, even when the phone is left behind. Users will be able to make payments via Google Pay, through NFC, but the feature will not be available in all the countries and will be reserved for selected ones.

The Misfit Vapor 2 comes with a 'redesigned' heart rate sensor and gets Google Assistant built-in. The smartwatch is water resistant for up to 30 metres.

The Misfit Vapor 2 smartwatch will be available on the company website and other retailers. So far the release date of the watch has not been specified and is listed as 'coming soon'. But the company has revealed the price of the wearable, which has been set at $249.99 (Rs 18286.77 approx.). So far, there is no certainty if the smartwatch would be making its way to markets like India in coming time.
