Convert any watch into smart watch with smart buckle. Launches on Kickstarter for $39.99
Give your old analogue watch a smart makeover with Gooseberry’s Smart Buckle – a wearable tech device which intelligently upgrades your old watch by adding health and fitness features
Designed to fit easily, quickly and discreetly into the strap of almost any watch – from the classy family heirloom you’ve inherited through to the cool new designer timepiece – the Smart Buckle is embedded with state-of-the-art motion sensors and software.
It is engineered to fit standard 20mm leather, rubber and cloth watch bands and can be easily installed to watches with pin or deployment/steel clasp buckles.
Compatible with Apple Health and Google Fit, it is, claims Gooseberry, an accurate activity tracker. It sports a battery that lasts a week after one quick 60 minute charge.
Smart Buckle is available via Kickstarter at a discounted rate of $39.99. At the time of writing the project had attracted nearly $17,000 of its $25,000 goal on the crowd funding website.
