You know how many different smart watches Samsung introduced in 2014? Five. You know how many units they sold? Six. [Ed. Note: Stat pending a fact check.] Yeah, recently we were introduced to the Apple Watch — a revolutionary and magical take on wrist-borne computing and reciprocal communication complete with a “taptic” engine and sapphire screen. And yeah, with this release, wrist wearables may finally be finding their stride.
But who cares? Watches had perfected timekeeping by the time the personal computer was invented, and has society become so lazy that the eight-inch span between our wrist and our pocket proves insurmountable? What wearable technology really needs to capture the hearts and wallets of consumers worldwide is a revolution. Consumers need a feature set beyond their imagination, and they need it in a groundbreaking form factor wrapped in a shroud of tastemaker cachet.
So from GP’s own department of disruptive innovation comes a proposal: the iBuckle. Here’s a breakdown of its groundbreaking features.
The iBuckle
A material difference.
Extraordinary results are never born from ordinary materials. It’s one thing to plate a housing in Rhodium. It’s another thing to carve it from a solid brick of the stuff. The result? Luxury cachet and heirloom quality.
Loud and proud.
