Sony is trying to crowdfund a new premium smartwatch

31 August, 2015
Crowdfunding and peculiar tech just seems to be a match made in heaven. A quick browse through Kickstarter or Indiegogo can reveal a tidal wave of innovation, but sadly, most of the really ambitious gadgets never really make it to production. However, when dealing with the likes of Sony, there is certainly a lot more confidence in the air.

        Yap it seems strange and I don't know the reason why sony made it first for iOS where is a known manufacturer of android phones and series of smart watches. But it seems they wanna make a beta out of an iOS...

          That is classy!
          I just hope they make it in standard size and also sell the chain-strap separately so that it could be mixed matched with existing watches!

                Eske Rahn, 31 Aug 2015Hmm so this is basically a smart-band replacing the bracele... moreLooking more carefully at this image: http://wena.jp/images/technology.png
                The attachment type seems VERY much like standard, so if the dimensions are standard too this could be a matter of launching it including a watch at first and as a bracelet second.

                  Hmm so this is basically a smart-band replacing the bracelet on a normal mechanical watch...

                  Strange hybrid if you ask me. But for those that wants a classical mechanical watch and the smartband functionalities it sounds like a nice compromise, so they do not need two devices.

                  BUT: Why not make it as a standard module wristband, so the user could attach it to 'almost any' watch-case of their liking? Of course it would require a 'sporty' watch-case not to have the band look too clumsy, but there are a lot of those around in all kind of price ranges.

                    I must say though, that the concept is absolutely stunning. Wel done Sony! Hope it works out for them.

                      TheNeighbor, 31 Aug 2015Crowd funding?!It's funny that they have to crowd fund it, what's even funnier is that it's iOS only (it's completely understandable and makes sense in every sense of the word but absolutely hilarious lol)
