Going back to Dick Tracy’s days in the 1940s, the idea of the ultra-powerful wrist computer has been an ongoing fascination. We finally crossed into the world of tomorrow in this century with Apple Watch technology and other incredible smartwatches that do just about anything.
Well … maybe almost everything. Because while it packs the technology that would have made Tracy’s Organized Crime Unit green with envy, there are still some things that the Apple Watch doesn’t do. Fortunately, you can bring some extra functionality to your wrist warrior directly on the strap with the Aura Smart Strap for the Apple Watch.
Most smart watch straps are just ornamental, but Aura has essentially consolidated the fitness tracking power of its popular Aura Bands into a bracelet that syncs perfectly with the Apple Watch.
Embedded in the band are electrodes to perform a bioimpedance analysis, measuring the user’s body fat in relation to lean body mass. With the touch of a button, you’ll get a complete analysis of your body’s active and reactive resistance sent directly to the Apple HealthKit app. By measuring fat, muscle mass, minerals and body water, you will understand exactly how your body is reacting to certain exercises and will then be able to design your physical activity according to your ultimate goals.
The band also includes its own hydration tracker, instantly assessing whether or not you need to drink some water as soon as possible. Resistant to splashes against the rigors of an active lifestyle, this band also works like a champion, giving you up to six months of energy in a replaceable coin battery.
The Aura Smart Strap for Apple Watch typically costs $ 118.99, but as part of this two-day Christmas promotion, you can get 15% off the total by entering the code MERRY15 when you make your purchase.
