Having the option to follow a morning run
and hear out some tunes without carrying a phone around is most likely one of
the key selling purposes of present-day smartwatches – so why not consolidate
the smartwatch and a couple of remote earbuds in one minimal form? That’s the
idea behind the Wristbuds, as of now looking for financing on Kickstarter.
Flick back the display of the smartwatch, and you have a pair of AirPods-style
wireless earbuds prepared to blast tunes direct to your ears via
Bluetooth.
The crowdfunding exercise has just blasted
past its US$ 5,000 goal but you can still join by paying just US$ 99 and get a
Wristbuds smartwatch shipped to you around April. You’ll also need to pay an
extra US$ 30 to get an expanded storage version to enable you to store MP3 files
inside. Not only does the smartwatch provide a storage compartment for the
earbuds, it equally charges them, so there’s no need for a different charging
case.
The battery life of the earbuds isn’t
recorded, which appears to be an odd exclusion, yet obviously the wearable can
go for as long as four days between charges, which is impressive. The earbud is
touted to come with good sound quality as well as noise cancellation. It is
equipped with graphene-covered drivers which clearly improve constancy. They’re
being publicized as having the option to remain safely attached to the ear
during exercises regardless of the type of exercise.
The Wristbuds smartwatch will track your
exercises and we expect it to come with all the major functions found on
smartwatches/ fitness trackers such as pedometer, sleep tracker, call function,
heart rate monitor etc.
After the crowdfunding ends, the
smartwatch will go on sale at a retail cost of US$ 149. It’s evident that other
equipment creators are quick to get a portion of the Apple AirPods showcase,
and the Wristbuds wearable is one of the more inventive takes on the genuinely
remote earbuds structure that we’ve seen up until this point.
