I mostly back tech Kickstarter projects (some card games). But the recent one I backed was Active8 at
http://kck.st/1prhaaz. I'm in the market to buy a fitness tracker (wearable) and came a cross a TechCrunch article about this Kickstarter project.
it's like
iPod shuffle + Bluetooth + Fitbit + Bluetooth headphoneThe reason I like it:
1- IT LOOKS VERY COOL: as a child I always played with slap-on rulers!! now there guys have created a slap-on wearble. I REALLY LIKE THAT.
2- HEADSET CORD: I personally go for joggs and the headset cord bugs me although I put it under my shirt! when I do abs the headset pops out.
3- BULKY PHONE: This is funny but I used to carry my phone in my old shorts because they had pockets. The new short I bought has not so deep of pockets and so my phone keeps falling out and I have cracked my phone running!
4- FITNESS TRACKER: I was in the market to buy a fitbit as an activity tracker and now I see same device with a cooler form factor
(even thinner) for the same price
PLUS a headset!!!! (I'll give the headset to my girl as gift
)
5- SHARE MUSIC: I was shocked to see I can wirelessly
listen to the SAME music with my friend! I typically workout and jogg with friends and now we can listen to the same music while jogging.
It's weird but it was like these guys had done their research pretty well before making something that I would actually buy at an affordable price point.
Last project I backed was OCULUS.
