Chinese automobile manufacturer BYD recently teased its upcoming smartwatch that will have several features that will be vital to buyers of its cars. The smartwatch which is expected to be launched later this month will come with features such as smart ignition, comfortable entry, smart locking, raising and lowering windows, opening the tailgate, and others, thus replacing the need to always move about with the car keys at all time.
Well, BYD has reveal a number of names and price range from which a final selection will be made by the company. The company is bringing in fans into the decision-making process as it released a survey asking fans to choose from a list of five different names, the one they’ll prefer to have as the moniker for the smartwatch. The names are translated as; smart watch key, smart watch car key, smart car control key sports watch, Di Watch, and DD Watch. The final naming is likely to be selected from the above names. While we can’t say for sure if the highest-ranking name in the polls will win, it is certain that one of the five names will ultimately be what the watch will be called. 
The company is also asking fans to determine the price tag of the smartwatch from three available options. The first option is an under 1,500 yuan (~$235) price tag, the second option is between 1,500 – 2,000 yuan while the third option is above 2,000 yuan. Of course, we expect majority of the respondents to choose the base option which sounds fair considering the prices of other smartwatches in the same category.
The teaser poster earlier released shows the smartwatch will come with a premium build including metal bezels, sapphire glass, and rubber straps. 
Apart from the features relevant to car owners, the watch will also come with fitness and health-tracking features such as exercise pedometer, heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, call reminder, temperature sensor, and others. Thus, in addition to activating keyless car entry, the watch will also serve as a fitness tracker.
