Your site is fairly low on information, mind if I ask a few questions?

So this would be a replacement 'watch band' for the Pebble Time, which provides biometric data to it? Your website seems to suggest it'll work with any device, will it still interface with the "smart accessory port" on the Time? Do you have advance information about the protocol/form-factor that the sensors, or are you going to finalize that part of the design once it's available? Also, I'm not sure I understand why it's called "contactless".

Seems very interesting though. It seems most wearables lean either towards "interface for your phone" or "fitness device", so something that boosts the Pebble's biometric tracking could be pretty cool.



Yep,replacement strap. We were devloping it to work with any device, but now with "accessory port" on Time, we will be able to leverage the battery and data connection to watch, which simplify the design.

@Contactless: we are developing a new sensor technology for measuring HR which will not be in contact with the skin(like optical sensors/bio-impedance metal stubs). This means that the sensor is embedded inside the silicone strap as you can see in the demo video.

Any suggestions ? pls mail me : ms@gethbeats.com
