Watchmaker Swatch said it will launch its own Swiss OS smartwatch platform in 2019 via a Tissot-branded device. Swatch said its operating system would have fewer updates than those of rivals such as Google, and promised a "Swiss vault-grade" level of user data protection. The company also announced that the new watches will be available for pre-order from March 2018.
