The 'Kisses Smart Watch Power Bank,' a Hershey's Kiss-shaped charger with a ribbon strap that can hang from a bag, provides backup power for compatible Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch models. It gives smartwatch wearers a small reserve when they leave home with a low battery, and its 'Auto Fit' charging system aligns with supported watches automatically.
The paper-style ribbon works as a bag strap, and the body props a removed watch at a 20-degree angle so the screen stays visible on a desk. A 700mAh battery keeps the device in emergency-backup territory, with USB-C output for other compatible devices.
The ribbon strap and candy form turn a backup battery into an accessory people are more likely to carry. That convergence shifts wearable charging toward products with some personality, not just spare capacity.
