Sgnl is the smart strap that enables you to answer phone calls through your fingertip. Simply place your fingertip to your ear while speak through the embedded microphone. Replace your existing watch strap with Sgnl and you’re done.
As it connects to the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth, the device activates automatically when the user’s smartphone receives or makes a call, requiring no complicated settings. In addition, with the accompanying smartphone application, Sgnl is able to monitor the user’s physical activity and give call reminders.
As Sgnl uses the hand as a medium for transmitting sound, users can talk on the phone without worrying about people nearby overhearing their conversations. According to the company, this solves the problem found in other smartwatches like the Apple Watch, where calls are made using the speakerphone and can be overheard by other.
The company developed “Sgnl,” a watch strap that allows the user to talk on their smartphone simply
by pressing their fingertip to their ear. The problem with talking on a smartphone or smart watch is that
both sides of your conversation may be overheard by others, giving rise to potentially embarrassing situations.
Innomdle’s smart watch strap, however, transmits sound directly from the user’s wrist, through his or
her hand and finger, and to the ear, preventing others from listening to the conversation.
