The introduction of Project Ara has proven to be a trend in hardware modularization customization

With the introduction of Project Ara by Google, which is proving to be a trend for hardware modularity, the wrist belt is catching on, and I'm talking about the NEX Band produced by mighty cast.

I saw NEX band's first reaction was that it was a fashion accessory, not a universal wearable computing device, and that the feeling was, "no one can see that I'm wearing a sensor." This company wants to lock in the user base is the teenager generation.

But it is wearable equipment, with an app called NEX. and modular customization, users can use at the same time the module is up to 5, different modules to represent different functions, do not want to use which module can be removed and replaced it with something else (this is better than modular mobile phones or watches are removed), if you think the mail, social Network information notification function is very chicken, You can discard this module directly.

Each module has a colorful led, with different symbols to indicate different functions, and the corresponding app module for tracking, parsing data, or other interaction, so there will be third-party developers to join in for NEX band to provide more optional features. Each standard module is priced at $9.9 trillion, but some powerful, alternative types are priced higher.

In addition, the material, color, design elements, support USB charging, also through Bluetooth 4.0 and mobile phone pairing.

If wearable equipment is waiting for the wind to come, modularity may be an opportunity, not only NEX Band, the UK has a smart watch company Blockes also play.
