USA | Fieldsheer, a recognised leader in temperature-controlled apparel, has announced that Mobile Warming, its Bluetooth-based, heated clothing line, will be the first smartwatch brand offering smartwatch control.
This has given users even more convenient control of all Mobile Warming apparel functions, including setting heat levels, checking battery levels, and more.
Control of Mobile Warming items has already been available through the user’s smartphone. Now, a specialised app downloaded gives users complete control with just their smartwatch, eliminating the need for the smartphone to be present.
The app is separate from the MW Connect App that currently controls Mobile Warming apparel, so users will download the watchOS and Wear OS app separately.
As with the smartphone, users will be able to control multiple garments at the same time, change temperature, and monitor battery levels, among other functions.
“While we develop outstanding heated clothing, we are, at our core, a technology company. So, it made sense to expand the technological options available to control our Mobile Warming line,” said Patrick Deighan, Fieldsheer’s Director of E-Commerce and Marketing.
“Just as important is the convenience factor. Consumers increasingly rely on smartwatches to control their electronic devices and other Bluetooth-based items. That’s why we wanted to ensure we were keeping up with our customers’ growing technological choices.”
Fieldsheer’s new smartwatch integration was a sound business move at a time when smartwatches have been significantly growing. This new free-of-charge smartwatch app is available and will be facilitated through regular MW Connect App updates in Apple and Android stores.
Founded in 1978, Fieldsheer has redefined what technical outerwear can do. It was the first to design motorcycle jackets with integrated protective pads and introduce heated motorcycle apparel.
Fieldsheer is the only heated apparel company in the U.S. market that owns its entire supply chain, from hardware R&D, battery design, cut-and-sew, and app development with Bluetooth control.
