According to Techvicity, even by fitness tracker standards, it is understood that the Leap Ware will be able to provide even greater feedback. Feedback aspects such as UV exposure, stress, and fatigue. In addition, unlike a number of smartwatches that has come through of late, the Acer Lear Ware doesn't actually run on Android Wear instead running on a separate and proprietary OS. Consumers must expect that this device can connect to a smartphone, provide notification alerts, and control certain aspects.

According to CNET, the Acer Leap Ware is a smartwatch that includes a round 1.6-inch display. For its internal specs, the device comes powered by a MediaTek MT2523 processor.

This chip has been specifically designed with health and fitness devices in mind.

The device also features Corning Gorilla Glass SR+ for added display protection and the option to customize the look of the watch using different colored straps. In terms of price, Acer had previously confirmed that the Leap Ware will be available in the US priced at $139.
