Smart XBAND Strap Enhances Mechanical Watches with Health Tracking
The XBAND Smart Strap integrates modern health‑tracking technology into a traditional 20 mm mechanical watch strap, offering heart‑rate, sleep, blood‑oxygen, stress, activity, and even women's health monitoring. Built with a Swiss‑crafted stainless‑steel module housing a Nordic nRF52840 processor, 4 MB flash, Goodix PPG sensor, and BOSCH accelerometer, it supports over 40 sport modes, AI‑driven workout insights, and syncs with Apple Health and Google Health through its iOS and Android companion apps. The strap’s cut‑to‑fit FKM rubber design is available in four colors, weighs 37.5 g, and maintains a classic appearance while providing up to seven days of battery life on a 23 mAh rechargeable cell. Priced at USD 279 for early‑bird backers on Kickstarter, with replacement straps sold separately for USD 89, the XBAND Smart Strap launched on 8 July 2026. It targets watch enthusiasts who want to keep their mechanical timepieces functional for everyday wear while adding discreet, wearable health monitoring, eliminating the need for a separate smartwatch on the opposite wrist.
