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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dribble) that can be used to convey certain cryptic messages between one another. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Long-distance Communication Wearables:** Opportunity for wearable technology companies to create more advanced and customizable communication devices for long-distance couples, friends and families. - **Customizable Messaging Wearables:** Opportunity for further development of messaging wearables to cater to those who prefer non-verbal forms of communication or cryptic messages. - **Virtual Touch Technology:** Opportunity for companies to develop virtual touch technology that could simulate physical touch and bring long-distance relationships even closer. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Wearable Technology:** The wearable technology industry can capitalize on creating innovative solutions for long-distance communication and messaging through wearable devices. - **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. - **Telecommunications:** Telecommunications companies can partner with wearable technology companies to incorporate messaging and communication features into their services for long-distance customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simulated Heartbeat Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart.md) - [Smart Heart-Shaped Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart-necklace.md) - [Heartbeat-Mimicking Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch-locket.md) - [Customizable Beaded Touch Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-bracelet.md) - [Digital Touch Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kisstouch.md) - [Two-Way Kids Messaging Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bot-talk.md) - [Relationship Communication Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchbase1.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Beaded Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulstones.md) - [Heartbeat Rhythmic Smart Lockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch.md)
