The Beacon & Lively Cuff is a smart bracelet that combines fashion and tech. Usually, with this pairing there's one that is more dominant than the other, but in this case, the cuff's design is both functional and attractive, disguised as a simple metal bracelet either in silver, gold or black.
Beacon & Lively Smart Cuffs are equipped with Bluetooth technology and can be connected to a smartphone to give its wearer notifications of incoming messages and calls. With these alerts, the cuff has a lot of options for how they can be received, including choices to set a custom colored LED indicator lights and vibration patterns. With a proximity sensor, the cuff will also alert its wearer if they happen to wander too far away from the phone.
The Beacon & Lively Smart Cuffs are now campaigning on Kickstarter, with a goal to raise $120,000.
