Smartwatches have become very popular in the last year, especially watches that connect to smartphones. Places like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have seen an influx in smartwatches that work with Android and iOS, but Windows Phone has been left out. One reason for this is the Bluetooth tech that Windows Phone uses. A new smartwatch on Indiegogo, however, says they will have Windows Phone support at launch.
The VEA Buddy bluetooth smartwatch is the first watch that we’ve seen to include Windows Phone support. It can control the phone to make calls, see text messages, read emails, check Facebook, and control music. Their goal for funding is $320,000. They still have two months left in the campaign to raise $300,000. If you’ve been wanting a watch that will work with your Windows Phone this is the best one so far. Head on over to Indiegogo below to help fund the project. Here are some specs:
- Thickness:8 mm
