These cool Moto 360 adapters let you use any watch band you want, and they’re £40 away from Kickstarter goal
While Motorola is preparing a solid lineup of watch bands for their Moto 360 Android Wear smart watch, some folks are probably looking for something a bit different. More options are bound to be made available as time goes on, but you can move beyond Moto and grab a pretty stylish watch band yourself if you’re willing to grab a stainless steel adapter from the folks at SteelConnect.
Their Kickstarter for the product proposes an adapter which will house standard 22mm poles for you to hook up any strap you want. Two different styles — the M-180 and M-225 –will be available, though they look relatively similar. The difference is the angle at which the adapter is presented, with the M-180 offering a more straight fit compared to the downward-sloping angle of the M-225. Both will be offered in either silver or matte black.
Also being offered is the M-Hook, a small one-side adapter that will allow you to hook your Moto 360 up to a chain and use it as some sort of pocket watch or the most advanced pendant you’ve ever put onto a necklace. Not bad at all.
The project is just £40 away from its goal of £10,000 on Kickstarter. The cheapest pledge for the M-Hook is currently £9, while the M-180 and M-225 adapters start at £21 and £28, respectively.
First shipments are expected to head out starting January 2015, but don’t be surprised if that date ends up getting a delay or two as we’ve grown accustomed to on Kickstarter. It ships worldwide so don’t be afraid to drop a pledge if you feel like sprucing up the look of your Moto 360 as it sits on your wrist, or — potentially — inside your pocket or on your chest. The funding period ends in 8 days so act fast if you want to make sure you get one once they’re ready.
