There are a myriad of health and wellness benefits associated with fitness trackers or smartwatches, but what if you want those features without having to sacrifice the watch from Tissot, Rolex, Seiko, Timex, Audemars Piguet or a different vintage watch that you already love? Smart Buckle turns any watch into a fitness tracker and sleep monitor. At the most basic level, the team behind Smart Buckle took all the hardware required for activity tracking and miniaturized it to fit in a brushed stainless buckle that isn’t much larger than your watch’s existing one. Installation is as easy as an average strap change with a spring bar tool, and they threw one of those in, too. The only real caveats right now are the facts that it’s only designed to work with 20mm straps and available in a limited color options. We imagine both those issues will be addressed after the success of this Kickstarter.
