In the coming weeks they’ll be putting a few versions of their band on Kickstarter. The $69 version will work with the Pebble Time

and will be hard-wired into the watch.  They will also have a version for $169 for use with Android Wear devices that will have its own battery and connect via bluetooth.

Time will tell if it works as well as the demo indicates, but it’s certainly a fun idea to help with one-handed use of your watch.
