A Blocks Core looks like your everyday Android smart watch
but it’s not. It’s actually running something called Android 8.0 Oreo. It is
similar in that you do swipe up and down, and left to right, on the interface
to reach your desired menu items. And it will also do the basics, like show you
your smartphone notifications, step tracking, and give you access to Alexa,
your personal assistant. With its elegant watch design and stainless-steel casing,
you are bound to love the way it looks and how durable it is. You can also,
like on many smart watches, change the strap to fit your desired style.
So, what makes it different you ask? Well, we are
happy you did because it really is special. It’s a modular smart watch that
requires you to plug in little modules into its strap to increase your watches
functionality. The possibilities or number of modules are infinite. The modules
fit into the watch face and into each other – think USB’s linked into one another,
that almost look like they are the links of a metal watch. This means that you
can swap in features as you go. Going Camping? Need the Adventure module? No
problem. Headed to the gym and need to monitor your heart rate? Easy. This
watch is incredibly simple to use. <o:p></o:p>
Currently available in phase 1: GPS, Heart Rate
Sensor, Extra Battery, Environment Sensor, Flashlight and Programmable Button.
Phase 2 and 3 will see the addition of so much more and definitely something to
stay tuned for. <o:p></o:p>
Because of its simplicity the creators want to
encourage people to build their own modules and use their interface as a place
to run it. Creating a watch that you can’t live without.<o:p></o:p>
