By: digitocks What about if you could upgrade your current watch to smartwatch with the same functionality and features as a Fitbit or even an Apple watch, minus the screen! digitocks is a retrofitting watch attachment that comfortably warns you of incoming notifications, alerts and health goals through subtle yet noticeable vibrations, whilst subconciously reducing your fixed screen lifestyle. The smartphone has gradually crept into our everyday lifestyle, helping us wake up in the morning, connect and communicate with everyone around us and often control how we go about completing day-to-day tasks. It’s surprising how much time we spend with our eyes glued to a phone screen, often flicking from app to app to pass the time or just out of routine. digitocks aims to reduce the time we spend staring at our phone screens with the introduction of subtle vibrations and profiling. Through the use of profiles, the user will be able to prioritise who they receive incoming message vibrations from as well as calls, emails, reminders and health tips. For example if the user is heading away on a business trip, they can activate their work profile to only receive message and call vibrations from their boss, work colleagues and family members. They can even set up specific keywords for the app to look out for in incoming emails so the user is only notified if the notification is important and relevant to their trip. Through doing this, the user knows that they only need to take their phone out of their pocket when they feel a vibration, effectively limiting the time they spend on their phone each day resulting in a digitoxed lifestyle! To set up a digi, the device is pushed onto the back of any watch using a tacky, secure pad that leaves no residue if it needs to be removed. It is then paired via bluetooth with the app on your smartphone. Profiles can then be set up with names and the functionality the user wishes to have before syncing it back with your phone. To change profiles, the digi doesn’t need to be removed from the watch, just hold the phone in your hand, tap sync and digi will sync over bluetooth. Of course, there are a lot of smartwatches, bands and fitness devices already competing in this saturated market, but why condense perfectly smartphone optimised apps to a small screen or device on your wrist with limited functionality, when you can smarten your existing traditional wearable! Don’t buy a watch replacement, take take back control of your digital lifestyle with digitocks! Vote now at: http://www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/ End
