Smart wearables are the new trend, but many have been reluctant to follow it because it is not as elegant as it could be. A new project called the LINK watch hopes to fix that. The LINK watch is essentially what you would get from combining a Rolex and the Apple Watch.
The LINK Smart Watch Combines Luxury and Technology
The LINK smart watch, or rather, smart-clasp, was created by Wearatec. Their goal is to make a smart wearable that gives users all the benefits of technology without sacrificing the beauty if the clasp watch. The face and make of the watch is are just like any luxury watch by remaining analog. The secret is in the watch’s clasp.
The team at Wearatec have designed the clasp to fit a screen that supports all of the smart watch app favorites. Not only that, but it also allows for access to text messages, music and social media. The goal of this Toronto-based company is to give people one more alternative when it comes to wearables.
Why The LINK Watch is A Powerful Contender
Luxury watchmakers like TAG Heuer have already targeted the smart wearable industry. Although their Connect watch is incredibly popular, many people would not buy it because it doesn’t look like the classic, analog watch that enthusiasts know and love.
Wearatec has created a watch that keeps you connected and still retains the elegance and fragility of an analog watch. Not only that, but the LINK watch is carefully designed to be strong, durable and classy. It’s possible that thanks to campaigns like this, other luxury watchmakers will catch on the trend. We may even see Wearatec’s patent in other companies very soon. The idea is fresh, and now that the technology exists, it’s only a matter of spreading it.
Smart Wearables Are Slow On the Upkeep
The Apple Watch still holds the title of trendiest gadget on the market. This is why new technologies are coming up with similar concepts. Wearatec’s LINK watch is arguably one of the most refreshing ideas and one that watch connoisseurs can entertain. The LINK watch is certainly a watch that anyone can keep next to their Rolex or even their Apple Watch. This is basically the best of both worlds.
