It is IP68 water resistant and somewhat shock resistant according to the MIL-STD-810G standard. Powered by Samsung’s Tizen operating system, it will pack in NFC, a heartbeat monitor, have Bluetooth and 4G LTE versions (768MB RAM + 4GB storage for Bluetooth-only and 1.5GB RAM + 4GB storage for 4G LTE), GPS and a 472 mAh battery for the 1.3-inch display version and a 270 mAh battery for the 1.2-inch display version.
