Long-Distance Communication Wearables

The 'Bond Touch' Bracelet Keeps Loved Ones Connected

— October 31, 2019 — Tech
The 'Bond Touch' bracelet is a communication solution for couples, friends and family to use as a way to stay in contact with one another when living in locations that are far away from one another.

The bracelets work by being paired with the accompanying smartphone app to let users customize the functionality and enable them to send a signal of love to the other person. This is done by tapping on the bracelet, which will activate a vibration and light on the other connected wearable no matter where in the world they might be. This enables users to let one another know that they're thinking about them without having to pick up the phone to call or text them.

The 'Bond Touch' bracelets allow users to send customized taps that can be used to convey certain cryptic messages between one another.
Trend Themes
1. Long-distance Communication Wearables - Opportunity for wearable technology companies to create more advanced and customizable communication devices for long-distance couples, friends and families.
2. Customizable Messaging Wearables - Opportunity for further development of messaging wearables to cater to those who prefer non-verbal forms of communication or cryptic messages.
3. Virtual Touch Technology - Opportunity for companies to develop virtual touch technology that could simulate physical touch and bring long-distance relationships even closer.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - The wearable technology industry can capitalize on creating innovative solutions for long-distance communication and messaging through wearable devices.
2. Personal Gifts and Greetings - The personal gifts and greetings industry can incorporate personalized messaging wearables into their product offerings and expand their target market to long-distance couples, families, and friends.
3. Telecommunications - Telecommunications companies can partner with wearable technology companies to incorporate messaging and communication features into their services for long-distance customers.
