Codex XBand Launches Luxury Watch Strap With Smart Clasp on Kickstarter

1 articles · Updated · Gear Patrol · Jul 10

Summary

  • Codex XBand has launched a Kickstarter project for a smart wearable built into the clasp of a luxury-style rubber watch strap, targeting mechanical-watch owners who want fitness tracking without a second device.
  • The pitch addresses a social-media trend of pairing Whoop or Fitbit bands with traditional watches, a workaround the company says is often awkward, bulky and uncomfortable in real-world use.
  • The strap uses FKM rubber, a push-button quick-release spring bar system and a cut-to-size design, while the oversized stainless steel deployant clasp houses the wearable component.
  • Its styling closely echoes high-end watch bracelets such as Rolex’s Oysterflex, positioning the product as a premium accessory that blends health tracking with luxury-watch aesthetics.
