Nowatch
The Nowatch is an interesting concept, if only because it eliminates the need for a smartwatch screen. Nowatch bills itself as a subtle “awareable” that tracks body stats and syncs up to Android or iOS to aggregate the data. The wearable promises real-time feedback for movement, sleep, and stress, plus recovery tools for fitness-centric folks or those who might have pushed themselves too hard. Nowatch uses Philips’ EDA (Electro Dermal Activity) Biosensing Technology, which measures changes in your sweat glands based on skin contact.
What I liked about this watch is how pretty it is in person. The gemstone “faces” are magnetic, so you can swap them in and out as your outfits call for it. The Nowatch will be available on Jan. 9 for $500, with each gemstone “watch face” sold separately. —Florence Ion
