DOVER, Del. - Aug. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- Get to know “Unique”

"Unique" is the world's first smart watch strap, which has been created and patented in November 2014 by Polish young team. Two engineers – Paweł Karczewski and Patryk Lamprecht have created a product thanks to which the customer will not have to choose between modern technology and a passion for classic design. Watches are often a family heirloom or gift and for many people have sentimental value. Luxury traditional watch fans will now have opportunity to jump into the world of wearable technology. "Unique" works with a dedicated application for iOS and Android. It can be freely configured and individually adapted to each user. The application enables a wide range of watch strap configurations, e.g. to monitor yours activity, achieve personal goals, select information that is being received on the strap. Intuitive system and gestures detection allows for example to reject a phone call in invisible way to others and without ostentatious looking at the phone. "Unique" user will not have to worry about checking phone while waiting for an important message – you will be able to select the most relevant information for you and receive discreet notifications to the strap.

Powerful combination of features and a customized style

Most of the smart watches present in the market not only suffer from a lack of intuitiveness to use, but also has not attractive look. “Unique” gives a possibility to choose any type of watch classic model that is available on a market and change it into smart watch. In the “Unique” production process we focus on quality and the ability to individually adjust the strap to the expectations of the most demanding customers. With virtual creator the user designs the look of the strap. uBirds creator allows you to fit the color, choose method of sew, thread color, quantity loops, shape buckles strap, and also provides a great variety of leather," says Paweł Karczewski, one of the uBirds founders.

In the process of creating such an innovative device uBirds team set a goal: an equally strong focus on customer needs and on hardware requirements. "Electronics were cover in flexible material which protects against the harmful effects of moisture and ensures the correct functioning of the "Unique". All systems will be working properly, regardless of weather conditions or contact with the wearer's skin. The expected single battery charge lifetime of “Unique” is approx. 2-3 days. Information from the watch strap will be displayed on the phone screen, but also at the strap by multi-colored LED. This requires lower power consumption, and thus increases working hours on a single charge," adds Patryk Lamprecht, startup co-founder, CTO. uBirds team is currently working on energy saving device to further extend battery life even more.
