We hear from lots of ambitious companies with
‘cutting edge’ technology, but to be honest, very few of them end up sticking
around. Blocks, however, is one of the few that has managed to take their
exciting Kickstarter idea – a modular smartwatch – from exciting idea to the
showroom floor at this year’s CES.
More than just being a functional smartwatch with
all the capabilities you’d expect – a fitness tracker, Alexa integration, and
smartphone notifications – this thing can accomodate special smart modules.
These extra pieces attach to the main watch unit and include a GPS device,
flashlight, heart rate sensor, programmable button, extra battery, and more.
Extra modules are available for purchase for US$ 35 each, and are engineered to be
totally dust and waterproof. Pre-orders are open now with shipping slated for
early this year.
