Ergonomic Runner Smartwatch Straps

The 'SHIFT' Performance Band Keeps Smartwatches within Sight

— October 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
The 'SHIFT' performance band aims to literally shift the location of a smartwatch on an athlete's wrist to put it into their sight lines in a more ergonomic way. Compatible with a wide array of smartwatches including the Apple Watch, Suunto, Pebble, Garmin Fenix 3 and more, the 'SHIFT' band features a comfortable strap system to keep the device in place.

The 'SHIFT' band works by being attached to the wrist and wrapped around the thumb; this changes the location of the smartwatch to resting on the backside of the hand. This puts the device into easy view for athletes and runners to quickly see how well they're doing as they go.

The 'SHIFT' performance band is crafted using Viton, which is the same material used to create the Apple Watch Port band to help make it as ready for movement as possible.
