14 DAY TRIAL // Smartwatches are becoming a must-have for pretty much everybody out there, but because finding a good-looking model is more difficult than you’d be tempted to believe at first, someone out there came up with a brilliant idea.
Called NoWatch, their proposal is essentially a watch that doesn’t have a screen, so instead it comes with ancient natural gemstones for a more exquisite design.
“We’ve replaced the traditional watch face with ancient stones, celebrating the belief that time is NOW. And inside, the world’s most sophisticated bio-technology quietly tracks your mental and physical health and offers real time feedback on how to restore balance,” the creators of the watch explain.
Thanks to the built-in Philips technology, the watch can monitor the blood oxygen, the movement, the body temperature, the heart rate, and the breath rate. Furthermore, it can estimate your stress levels and make recommendations to feel more relaxed.
“Sweat glands are coupled to our flight or fight response. We can now measure its activity through your skin using Biosensing technology by Philips. Skin conductance is a much better predictor of cognitive abilities than heart rate alone, which other wearables use to register overstimulation,” the NoWatch makers add.
Needless to say, because NoWatch is supposed to look good on your wrist, it can be configured with a wide variety of gemstones.
It is available starting at 363 EUR and also comes with a companion app to read all the information it provides, which kind of makes sense given a display isn’t available in the first place.
“Starting at €363, including lifetime membership if you order now, the NOWATCH device can be configured with a selection of three different colours, eleven stones and discs and seventeen different straps. All our materials are ethically sourced, without any compromise on quality and sustainability,” the parent company explains.
