Title: Hot Band is a wacky watch strap that makes your analog timepiece smart Post by: HCK on February 20, 2016, 09:00:13 pm Hot Band is a wacky watch strap that makes your analog timepiece smart
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Smartwatches like the Apple Watch can do just about everything—push notifications from your phone to your wrist, send texts, and track your workouts—but they’re not as stylish as high-end analog timepieces. Tech companies like Withings have developed solutions (http://www.macworld.com/article/3006827/fitness-hardware/withings-activit-steel-review-this-stylish-170-watch-is-an-undercover-fitness-tracker.html) that look like traditional watches and track your steps and your sleep, but now there’s another way to smarten up your watch: the Hot Band.</p><p> The Hot Band (http://hotwatchband.com/) is a leather watch strap with a magnetic closure that can be affixed to most watches, even some smartwatches. You can easily connect it to standard analog watches with a spring bar pin, including those from brands like Fossil, and it also works with the Apple Watch. When you buy the band, it comes with one of two Bluetooth fob options: a smart version, which adds a notification screen on the underside of the watch where it isn’t visible, or an audio fob, which lets you make private phone calls.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3034741/hardware/hot-band-is-a-wacky-watch-strap-that-makes-your-analog-timepiece-smart.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Hot Band is a wacky watch strap that makes your analog timepiece smart (http://www.macworld.com/article/3034741/hardware/hot-band-is-a-wacky-watch-strap-that-makes-your-analog-timepiece-smart.html#tk.rss_all) |
