Dedicated Timepiece Travel Cases

The Vario Watch Pod Protects Watches and Smartwatches Alike

— February 6, 2019 — Fashion
The Vario Watch Pod is a dedicated accessory for wrist wearables of all kinds that will work to protect them and offer wearers a dedicated spot to store them when traveling. Coming in several gray finish options, the cases can be used for traditional timepieces or smartwatches to keep them in the optimal position for wear without forcing them into an awkward shape. This addresses the concern of wearers who are accustomed to crushed straps that need to be remolded after storage to prevent unnecessary wear from being placed on the accessory when not in use.

The Vario Watch Pod features a donut-shaped design to keep the accessory in the optimal position and also features integrated storage for charging cables or additional straps.
Trend Themes
1. Watch Travel Cases - An opportunity for innovation would be to create customizable and compact travel cases that protect and store watches of various sizes, materials and shapes.
2. Integrated Cable Storage - A potential disruptive innovation could be creating a watch case that has built-in charging capabilities, so users won't have to worry about losing or forgetting their charging cables.
3. Smartwatch Wearables Cases - There is an opportunity to create specialized cases that cater to smartwatch wearables and their accompanying accessories such as earbuds, charging cases, and other tech components to support hassle-free travel.
Industry Implications
1. Watch Industry - The watch industry can innovate by creating specialized watch cases designed to protect and store their timepieces, as well as create compact and functional traveling cases.
2. Tech Industry - The tech industry can focus on integrating charging capabilities directly into watch travel cases, creating an all-in-one solution that streamlines the charging process.
3. Luggage and Travel Accessories Industry - The luggage and travel accessories industry can create compact, modular travel cases for various wearables such as watches, smartwatches, and other tech accessories that can fit into one travel-friendly bag.
