Smart Strap

Has anyone else seen these? https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/13/sonys-smart-watch-strap-is-now-available-in-the-uk/ Apparently there's a couple of other brands making them already. Definitely something I'd be interested in picking up.

It's definitely something I'd be interested in. I'm in the market for a premium watch at the moment (likely an Oris ProPilot chrono), but would like the benefits of a smart watch for heart rate and GPS tracking

In saying that, I'm in 2 minds about wearing a pilot watch when partaking in fitness activities

I quite like the idea that you could ally one of these with your favourite auto or winder.

Benefits of a smart watch without having to give up wearing a real watch.

Good idea. But £400, it ain't cheap

I spend far too long on my phone.

Would this mean I am further distracted? Or less distracted as no need to “check” phone and end up on boards for an hour for no reason.
