Matrix is back at CES this year with the PowerWatch 2, emitted from your wrist. For the second iteration, Matrix has made a surprising amount of progress, because the PowerWatch 2 has evolved from a black-and-white screen to a 1.2-inch color display, with support for thermometric and solar charging, as well as with GPS and fitness tracking. The main attraction remains the same: this is a watch that never needs to be plugged in to charge. Still, despite such a headlining feature, this isn’t supposed to compete with your Apple Watch.

Even if you’re not a hiker or a hunter, there’s also the fact that the PowerWatch 2 is compatible with both Apple HomeKit and Google Fit, allowing you to use it as a rugged fitness tracker that never needs to be charged.
