# Discreet Smartwatch Attachments This Tiny Disc Brings Smartwatch Technology to an Analog Watch By David Ingram | Published 2015-11-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-watch-technology References: [coolthings](http://www.coolthings.com/chronos-disc-instant-smartwatch/) & [wearchronos](https://www.wearchronos.com/) This small and discreet disc-shaped attachment can equip your favorite analog watch with smartwatch technology features. The 'Chronos' measures in at only 3mm thick and attaches behind the back of a timepiece. The disc is also small enough to remain hidden behind approximately 80% of traditional analog watches available on the market. The 'Chronos' uses a companion mobile app and is able to alert you via your watch about incoming notifications using vibrations as well as an array of different light patterns and colors. This smartwatch technology also includes a [basic fitness tracker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartlet) to help monitor your daily activities. Your watch can also be outfitted to respond to different gestures to control features on your phone like music or muting an incoming call. With this simple attachment, consumers can now enjoy the features of a smartwatch without having to abandon their beloved collection of [traditional watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Discreet Smartwatch Attachments:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expanding the market for smartwatch features by allowing consumers to add them to their existing analog watches. ### Who This Affects Most - **Watch Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing and marketing attachments and accessories to enhance traditional analog watches with smartwatch technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Micro-Sized Finger-Friendly Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rogbid-fusion.md) - [Hybrid Low-Power Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksana.md) - [Connected Watch-Analyzing Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-measurement-tool.md) - [Hybrid Health-Tracking Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-scanwatch-light.md) - [Smartwatch-Attached Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-smart-switch-ecosystem.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Smartwatch-Turned Nostalgic Handheld](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinypod.md) - [Stress-Reducing Screenless Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowatch.md) - [Pocket Watch-Inspired Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pocket-watch.md)
