Trivoly Smart Watches

I don't know if this has been covered already, but for any of those people out there who would like the benefits of smart watch but don't ever want to stop wearing your beloved Rolex then maybe this is the answer.
I just saw it on Kickstarter and have no affiliation to the company whatsoever.

I have read before that some people would like a smart watch for the exercise/health functions that they have. This sounds like it could do the trick

The smart watch is a solution looking for a problem.

Smart watches are not for me but when I saw this I thought it might be of interest to some other members. Up to now some members have been discussing wearing a smart watch on their other wrist or a special strap that contains both their Rolex watch head and a smart watch together on the same wrist. Looking at the video of this product I wouldn't ever consider it myself because it looks to be quite thick and clumsy looking stuck to the case back. It would raise the watch too far off the wrist for my liking

I always like to keep a very open mind.. Especially with smart watches. Like many here often say "do what pleases you"..
But this would annoy me... Constant buzzing which tells you "something" has come in yet you don't know what it is until you reach into your bag.. At least with other smart watches you can see who/what is alerting you.

Also, does this have any magnet inside?. Can this affect or damage the watch movement in any way? Just curious.

If I wanted a smart watch I'd buy one..

Thanks Rogdogg for posting this.
