But, it does oh so much more. It is supposed to simplify your life by storing digital passwords and information to create a “single point of entry” for peoples’ digital activity.
It can unlock your cell phone with a simple tap and monitor the quality and quantity of your sleep. To serve as a comforting wake up call, it simply vibrates to quietly awaken you from a deep sleep.

Through a series of sensors, it can track the number of steps taken and calories burned while also monitoring your walking speed and heart rate.
I must admit that I am not a tech-savvy person and am still old school when it comes to staying up to date with the latest technology.
Still, this intriguing band is lightweight and doubles as a watch that fits comfortably on your wrist without being too tight.
It is perfect when traveling and allows you to do multiple things with one device like monitor incoming calls and handle notifications from your phone while giving you complete hands-free flexibility.
It can unlock your phone and uses Tap2Transfer functionality to share information easily and securely.
This waterproof band requires regular charging, which can be done easily overnight, but it can last for as much as two weeks between charges.
Other unique functions allow you to share phone numbers and contact information with business colleagues wirelessly, but again, it requires a type of savvy that not all frequent business travelers possess.
Like a personal assistant on your arm, this button-free wristband is surprising that the price tag is a relatively affordable $125, but it does take a bit of getting used to for it to become something of value to a frequent traveler.
I never had any trouble connecting it wirelessly via Bluetooth, but someone that has never used that type of device may need a bit of hand holding to get it all set up. It is meant to compete with the FitBit while also providing increased functionality that a business traveler may find important.

The band is slim and free of distracting gadgetry, but it is hardly overly stylish or sleek. It is available from the Lycos website and on Amazon.
