Overview
The MATRIX PowerWatch 2 is the most powerful smartwatch that you never have to charge. PowerWatch 2 is fully updated with new features such as heart rate monitoring, GPS location tracking, and a color display. It is designed with MATRIX’s most advanced thermoelectric and solar technology that can convert your body heat and ambient light to power itself.

 

Smarter, Tougher, More Powerful

Meet the most powerful smartwatch on the planet.

 

FIT TO SURVIVE

We are back on Indiegogo with new features and advanced energy harvesting technology that improves on the original award-winning PowerWatch. Our second generation PowerWatch 2 uses body heat and light to power the most advanced smartwatch you never need to charge so you can keep doing what you do best without any interruptions.

 

 

Move to the Beat of Your Own Heart.

PowerWatch 2 is designed with improved thermoelectric generators and all-new solar-cell technology, constantly generating more than enough energy to operate the built-in intelligent heart rate monitor, wherever, whenever.

 

See Our True Colors Shining Through.

With more energy than ever before, PowerWatch 2 introduces the first full-color LCD display powered by thermoelectric and solar energy, adding color to the power of you.

 

Location. Location. Location.

Always-on onboard GPS makes PowerWatch 2 the ultimate tool for anyone mapping out their run, hike, ride, or swim with the PowerWatch 2 companion app.  It's packed with useful health and fitness metrics like pace, distance, steps, sleep, cadence, and more.

MATRIX Gemini Thermoelectric Generator

Our thermoelectric technology converts heat to electric power, the same technology used by NASA to power the Voyager Spacecraft and the Mars Rover. It is based on the Seebeck effect discovered in 1821. In the absence of an applied voltage gradient V, electric current, J, can still be generated if there is a temperature gradient, T. A thermoelectric material must have a low thermal conductivity and high electrical conductivity to function efficiently. These properties are not commonly found in nature.

In order to make a thermoelectric material efficient, one must use a semiconductor whose Fermi level is tuned correctly by doping. Too much doping, and the Seebeck coefficient decreases. Too little doping and the electrical conductivity decreases. In addition, the semiconductor should have some mechanism to scatter phonons frequently. MATRIX has developed a nano-structured semiconductor, the Gemini, that accomplishes these things.

 

MATRIX Mercury

A thermoelectric module is composed of many tiny semiconductor "legs" that when added together create a larger voltage than one individual leg alone. However, the voltage generated by body heat is on the order of 20 to 100mV, too small to operate electronics. A DC-DC boost converter is needed to boost this small voltage to 5V to run the electronics and charge a battery.  Current off-the-shelf boosters have terrible efficiency and large startup voltage. MATRIX has developed the world's most efficient booster with the lowest startup voltage on the market today. We call it the MATRIX Mercury.

 

Together the MATRIX Gemini and Mercury outperform any combination of thermoelectric and boost converter by 3X. To learn more, please visit www.matrixindustries.com

 

 

Matrix’s solar cell technology utilizes amorphous silicon that is superior to crystalline silicon when absorbing indirect and indoor light. The solar cell is laminated onto the display module for a seamless construction and optical clarity.

 

 

Matrix's team is composed of experts in thermoelectric material science, thermal engineering, and consumer product development and manufacturing. The core team consist of PhD graduates from Caltech, MIT, Harvard, and UCSD. Our manufacturing director has over 25 years of experience and has shipped millions of units for leading technology companies.

The team was responsible for the award-winning success of the original PowerWatch, which debuted on Indiegogo.  PowerWatch exceeded its original crowdfunding goal by 938% in January of 2017 and successfully shipped all orders by fall 2018. The amazing feedback the team received from Indiegogo customers motivated them to push forward to manufacture the world's most powerful smartwatch, PowerWatch 2.
