I’m an analog watch wearer and have been looking for something like that too. Found a dead Kickstarter thing that replaced the buckle on a watch band with a sensor blob, would have been perfect.
A simple strap (or ring, I guess) with a minimal electronics package, waterproof, long battery life, that sends data to my phone. Anyone? Is it not a business? Everything goes upmarket.
Oh, without a mandatory monthly fee, Oura.
- mft_ 3y agoI’ve been waiting for this for years. If it’s possible to stick health tracking features into a ring, it should certainly be possible to fit them into a watch strap. I’m imagining a standard-looking watch strap with a small display that would sit just below the face of whichever analog watch it was attached to. It could have a thin bridge joining the two sides of the strap together, running underneath the watch - this isn’t a problem when wearing (for example) a NATO-style strap.
- Kaibeezy 3y agoYep. Or even with no display at all, just the sensor package. And/or even with no watch at all, just attach it to one of the billion straps out there. I was all ready to file a provisional when I found that smart buckle or whatever they called it.
