Obsessed Much? Use the Cookoo Watch to Ensure You Don’t Miss Notifications on Your Phone
Here’s another Kickstarter project for you – the cookoo watch. It helps you stay connected to your phone – perhaps a little too connected. The cookoo watch uses Bluetooth to keep your watch in the loop with what is happening with your smartphone. If your phone is in the other room, and you’re wearing your watch (which you presumably are doing), the watch will notify you when you get a text, email, Facebook message, reminders, etc. “Reminder: don’t check email this vacation.” You must REALLY like to be connected if this is the case, but the idea is pretty sound.
The Kickstarter campaign is trying to get $150,000 and has just rolled over the $100,000 mark, with 39 days to go. You can also use the watch to locate your phone – a pretty handy function (for drunken idiots like me). The watch also tells you when your cell phone battery is low, in case your ability to look at the phone is impaired by the beers you’ve been drinking. My only complaint? It’s a bit bulky and unfashionable. But being connected is the ultimate in fashion, right? Um, no. Check out a promo video of the Kickstarter campaign for cookoo below.
