The GAC Smart Watch gives its user access to basic time/date/calendar functions even as it measures/records one’s basic health functions like heart rate, oxygen level, calorie count, etc. On top of this, it doubles as a smart key for select GAC vehicles, allowing the user to lock and unlock doors, open a car’s tailgate, lower and raise windows, and even start a car’s engine remotely.

There are two variants of the GAC Smart Watch and they are priced at P 25,900 (available now by order through GAC dealerships). GAC Motor Philippines has confirmed that it works on almost all models save the entry-level variants of the M6 Pro (M6 Pro GS), Emzoom (Emzoom GS), and Empow (Empow GS). The first 200 units have been sold out, with a second batch coming in the next few months.

The introduction of the GAC Smart Watch in the Philippines represents exclusive distributor, Astara Philippines’ increasingly customer-centric approach.

“We acknowledge that without our customers, we would not be where we are today,” says Ryan Bermudez, GAC Brand Head. “Spending time with them and getting to know them and their concerns will allow us to get a better grip on what we should be prioritizing – which is their continued satisfaction and loyalty. This is one of the reasons why we also grabbed the opportunity to launch the GAC Smart Watch, which is a great new gadget that pushes the envelope where technological interfacing for our line-up of fantastic cars is concerned.”

Apart from the launch of the GAC Smartwatch, GAC Motor Philippines conducted a free 21-point check-up as well as discount on parts and periodic maintenance service for all club members who attended.

“Events like the GAC Hangout allow us to create lasting relationships with the people who matter to us most – our valued clients. Yes, we will launch new technological upgrades like the GAC Smart Watch. Yes, we will be launching some fantastic new vehicles soon. But all of these are just pieces of a much bigger puzzle. Because at Astara, our values include sustained human to human approach… And at the center of all that is our commitment to a satisfying and memorable ownership experience for our customers,” ended Bermudez.
