If the current crop of smartwatches fails to impress you, why not build your own?
The world's first modular smartwatch, made by London-based Blocks Wearables, is heading to Kickstarter after 18 months in development.
The Blocks timepiece consists of a simple round watch face that serves as the core module, to which owners can clip in a set of additional modules, each with its own function, that string together to make up the band. The main module offers the same basic range of features that you might expect of a typical smartwatch, including notifications, activity tracking and voice control. The rest of the watch can then be pieced together to suit the individual owner's preferences or needs.
Unprecedented choice
Normally, you have to settle for features the manufacturer decides. Until now. In addition to the modules we're making, developers and companies all over the world are creating modules for you. By opening our platform, you can now choose from an unprecedented range of smartwatch features.
BLOCKS puts the choice back in your hands.
Unique abilities
Our open platform also means that extremely specialized modules are possible. The big companies don’t bother with niche problems. With BLOCKS, developers and small companies will create the solutions - just like the App Store.
Our platform caters for every niche.
The Latest Tech
Making modules is far easier than whole devices. BLOCKS brings down the cost and effort of making new technology. This means that the latest tech will be in your hands faster than ever before.
Save Money
Upgrading is expensive. With BLOCKS you keep what’s good and only upgrade the piece you need to.
Your bank balance will thank you.
