Are you wishing to buy a smartwatch but find it really expensive? Your prayers have been answered! Check out the Kairos T-band, a wristwatch band that actually turns your ordinary timepiece into a smartwatch.
The Kairos T-band is designed to work with any analog watch. Like what we always do, just change straps like any other ordinary ones, and you’ll be able to use it in an instant. It’s powered with its own Kairos OS, and can work on iOS, Android, and Windows phones. These smartwatches can also remotely control your smartphone, provide fitness tracking functions and push notifications — all done via bluetooth.
Once out in the market, the band will be available in three different versions: a no-display band with vibrate and LED notification, a HD (Hidden Display) band which discreetly presents band information, and an OD (OLED Display) band with a curved PMOLED screen.
Also available are six mechanical analog timepieces available in Chrome, double-plated Rose Gold, and all-Black colors to match your Kairos T-bands. These are made, as the page says, using the best Swiss and Japanese clock movements.
For early birds who will back up the project on crowd-sourcing site IndieGoGo, these will be shipped starting April next year and the bands alone are priced starting from $129 (Php5,800), while a combination of the timepiece and band starts at $508 (Php22,600). Head on over to the source for more information.
Ano ba namang headline yan? If one can afford a rolex eh bakit ka naman bibili ng cheap strap na yan to come with your rolex? siguro naman loose change lang sa rolex owner ang dedicated smart watch.
*i don’t have a problem with the product, yung headline ng article lang talaga ang nakakabwisit.
I think the idea of the word Rolex being used in the headline is that it would replace the words ‘ordinary watch’. Doesn’t have to be luxury. Pwede rin pong Seiko, Technomarine, Bench, etc. :)
