Glance is a watch accessory from Kiwi Wearable Technologies that turns any old analog watch into a smartwatch. There's a lot of wearable technology in the works right now that will render many of today's devices obsolete, but Glance offers a brilliant way to bridge the gap between old and new technology.
The small watch accessory clips onto the strap of a watch and it is designed to deliver mobile and social notifications, activity and phone tracking, plus add gesture controls so that you can use your hand and watch just as you would computer mouse.
Currently, Kiwi Wearable Technologies has a Kickstarter campaign in place where early bird supporters can nab one of these neat watch accessories for $70.
