Interchangeable Smartwatches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Omate X Connects with both Android and iPhones

— August 20, 2014 — Tech
The Omate X smartwatch is ideal for those who have both iPhones and Android devices, but are looking for something that attaches right to their wrist. This design can sync to both, as well as certain tablets so that people never miss an update.

The design is also sleek, which has been a setback in the past for smartwatches. This looks very similar to a regular watch, and also has customizable features such as an interchangeable strap. Nowadays its becoming more and more common for people to check their smartphones every few minutes, so have something attached to the wrist would perhaps even save time, and allow individuals to take a quick glance down for notifications instead. Wearable tech is definitely coming to the fore, and its exciting to see where it will go next.
