#72529 — Third party bands for the •Watch

If you are considering an •Watch, but don't want any of Apple's bands,
check these out; Tidbits has a nice writeup on them.  Even if you're
not, check them out anyway.

It is April 1.

I would read that article again, paying attention to the "Microsoft 
Band for Apple Watch" and stuff such as The "Nike MotionBand" with its 
interesting proposal.

"Our next strap comes from sports product company Nike. Cool as the 
Reserve Strap sounds, batteries are so last century. Big Swoosh’s $429 
MotionBand relies on PowerFelt, a “topological thermoelectric organic 
material made up of multi-walled nanotubes that harvests the thermo and 
turbulent motion that occurs naturally in our environment and converts 
it into usable electrical energy.” In other words, the PowerFelt 
material in the MotionBand converts your body heat and arm motion into 
electricity — theoretically enough to keep the Apple Watch running 
indefinitely, at least for runners and others who move their arms while 
exercising. It will also probably be popular in cultures where people 
can’t talk without expansive hand gestures."

Somebody put in a lot of work on this gag.

Apple has far more to worry about than 3rd party wrist bands.

Telsa has announced it has joined the fray for the smart watch market:

(W stands for "Watch").

I continue to be amazed by the immense buzz generated by the soon to be 
available Apple watch-- an elegant, albeit vastly over-priced solution, 
to a non-existent problem...

Not really, its MUCH too fat and has
an atrocious time between charges.

And I'm not amazed, apple fan children have always been like that.

Indeed.

> to a non-existent problem...

I don’t buy that with the fitness/activity stuff, just think
the other fitness/activity bands do that a hell of a lot better.

No thanks, haven't bothered with any watch for 30 years now.
