A well-balanced value between traditional watch and smart watch at a surprisingly affordable price
Hong Kong, Hong Kong, July 5, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Connected Analogue LEO Watch Launched on Kickstarter
Find your work-life balance with the stylish & affordable LEO
Plan B Works Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of a Kickstarter campaign beginning 21 July 2017 to introduce the innovative new LEO Watch, a simple-to-use, connected analogue watch inspired by the brilliant Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci.
Embodying da Vinci’s humanist ideal of “unquenchable curiosity” and “feverishly inventive imagination,” LEO was designed with your well-being in mind to help improve your work-life balance.
“The digital age overloads people with information. A watch should not add to that chaos,” explained LEO creator Plan B Works. “When we designed LEO, we challenged ourselves to stay simple and develop only what we require to achieve an easy, effective life-free from complication, free from chaos. We wanted to create a simple, elegant watch that helps people to stay connected as they work, while finding the time to breathe and enjoy the beauty in life.”
As da Vinci wrote, "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - at Plan B Works, we’ve held da Vinci’s intention of ‘simple sophistication’ genuinely in our hearts to develop LEO.
Plan B Works looks forward to raising USD50,000 on Kickstarter to move LEO from concept to reality in the manufacture of the LEO watch and app.
With an expected delivery date of November 2017, LEO will be the perfect gift just in time for the holidays!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
LEO has a minimalistic analogue watch design, with a clear 37mm black or white face embedded in a 41mm casing so you can tell time clearly at a glance. The elegant design is complemented by easy-to-use, interchangeable straps that suit the range of business and personal occasions in your everyday life.
Don’t be overloaded! Stay connected in one simple device with all the functions you need
Automatic time adjustment
With LEO’s incredibly accurate automated adjustment function, LEO’s analogue hands are effortlessly on time regardless of changes to time zone, day light savings, or leap second.
Music control
Music is an essential part of our everyday lives. LEO will help you stay tuned in on-the-go with a simple click button to play, pause, or change songs - no phone needed! You can also play music through your phone, earphone, or speakers to suit your every circumstance.
Mute incoming calls
Busy in a meeting or just want a break from the noise? Put your phone on silent or vibrate to mute your calls with the simple press of a button.
Alarm & timer
Be on time for all of your important daily events with reminders in LEO’s mobile app, and an alarm function that can pre-set up to 5 events at once.
Smart battery saving
Traditional watches need continuous second-hand motion to drive the gear for accurate time keeping, which consumes unnecessary power when exact time is not required. LEO automatically holds the second hand at 6 o’clock after being idle for 1 minute, and keeps the hour and minute hands in the correct position to tell the time. Once motion is detected, the second hand resumes to the correct position immediately. Additionally, you can disable the second hand ticking from the mobile device app to prolong LEO’s battery life. This means more power for longer, every day.
End of battery life indication (EOL)
While LEO’s battery life can lasts for more than 10 days which is longer than most smart connected watches, it will need charging periodically. With an easy-to-check battery level indicator in the mobile app, you’ll know exactly when you need a charge. Without your phone? When the second-hand motion changes to 3 seconds per tick, you’ll know there’s 20% battery life remaining.
Camera shutter
Need to take a photo but don’t have a spare hand? With LEO, you can control your mobile’s camera shutter with a simple click on LEO’s face for that perfect selfie or group shot - up close or at a distance.
Activity tracker
Monitor your daily activities in LEO’s all-in-one mobile app with comprehensive data trackers including steps, distance, calories burned, active minutes, hourly activity, and stationary time.
Find your mobile
Lost your phone in a coat pocket or pile of papers on your desk? LEO can send your phone an audio and vibrate alert so you don’t have to spend precious time searching the room.
Find your watch
Or, vice versa—misplaced your LEO? Use the mobile app to send an alert to locate your LEO quickly and easily.
One-click interchange wrist bands
Leo offers a wide range of wrist band options from classic leather to contemporary Nato. Switch your wrist band at the click of your fingertips for endlessly easy, fashion-forward fun. With no special tools or skills required, your LEO is sure to match your lifestyle - and your wardrobe.
