Sngl is the latest band for your smart watch that connects directly to your smartphone, allowing you to answer a call by placing your finger to the ear.
How many times have you thought about responding to a call without having to pull out your phone or hassle with bundled up cords and small wireless earpieces?
Sngl makes this possible thanks to an avant-garde technology from the independent startup, Innomdle Lab (born as a spin-off from Samsung Electronics), who presented their idea to Kickstarter and Indiegogo with great success.
But how does Sgnl work? This special smart band communicates via Bluetooth with your smartphone. Nothing new here, no?
The difference is that when you get an incoming phone call, your phone will send the sound to Sgnl and you can simply place your finger to your ear. Calls come through clearly straight through your finger.
The technology is made possible thanks to a special device, the “Body Conduction Unit”, which allows Sgnl to receive the sound from your telephone and transform it into vibrations on your wrist. When you bring your finger to the ear, the vibrations travel through your hand to be heard from your finger. Thus, the incoming call can be heard privately and clearly.
More than magic, it’s simply good technology. Sgnl transforms your body into a conductor of sound that allows you to hear from the tip of your finger, even in loud and public spaces. Sgnl can also be adapted to traditional watches or can be worn as a simple bracelet.
For those with a smartwatch like Samsung Galaxy Gear, Apple Watch, or Pebble Time, Sgnl provides more privacy, avoiding the use of speakers with additional functions. Pairing the device with the Sgnl App, the smart band works as a fitness tracker and call reminder with Smart Notification Alert.
