Analogue speakers have joined the digital world.
Now, a startup in Chicago has developed a sensor which allows analogue watches to be converted into smartwatches. The 3mm thin disc is placed on the underside of the watch, attaching through special magnet-free micro-suction technology.
Next, the sensor is connected to wearers’ smartphones via an app. Once in place, wearers can customise notifications for messages and calls, which come through haptic vibrations.
Music can also be managed through a simple tap, while steps and other activities are synced with health apps. Boasting 42 hours of battery life, the disc can be recharged inside an hour.
And speaking of time, an online platform from Canada is bringing watch enthusiasts together.
