Will there ever be a day where I can just buy a smart watch strap to attach to my mechanic watch to get biometrics and what not?

Invis make straps without sensors but with NFC payments.
There's clearly a market for rings as fitness trackers so people can avoid a watch altogether
Wanting a watch strap is a bit more niche but it'll come around as a product I'm sure.

A smart strap honestly sounds like a gap in the market. Seen quite a few people wearing a normal watch and trackers.
3 0 ReplyLol the rings that have a lifespan of 3 years or so, almost as much as a midrange smartphone and ALSO have a subscription fee that almost doubles the cost of the ring over its lifespan?
2 0 ReplyI never said they were good. Just that products are filling that gap in the market.
