Smartwatch-Converting Bands

The Kairos TBand Converts Regular Watches into Smartwatches

— November 25, 2014 — Tech
The Kairos TBand is an innovative device that lets you convert a regular old watch into a futuristic smartwatch. Are you interested in getting a smartwatch but unwilling to get rid of of the watch you already own? Well the Kairos TBand aims to solve that exact dilemma.

The Kairos TBand comes in three different models, each of which offers a different level of functionality. However, each of these bands comes with a 9-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, optical sensor, pin USB charging post and a rechargeable battery. The bands also come with clamps instead of clasps, giving them a bangle-like fit.

The TBand ND is the most basic version of the product, and is designed for basic notifications. The TBand HD has more battery life than the ND and more functions. The TBand OD is the best of the buch, and comes with a full-color curved OLED display and an enormous suite of functions including social media linkage and remote vehicle control.
