The modularization of smart phones has been proposed for a long time, but the actual products have not come out yet. Blocks, a modular smart watch, has appeared on the crowdfunding website KickStarter. The specification has been released. On the way of modularization, watches go faster than mobile phones.

According to the official introduction, this smart watch has complete functions and seems to support fingerprint recognition, gesture operation GPS、 Camera NFC、 Heart rate detection, SIM card and other mainstream hardware can be found on it.

The module part is integrated on the watch strap, which supports hot plugging and can be replaced at any time. In addition, BLOCKS indicates that special modules corresponding to third-party customization have been developed together.

Due to the different thickness of human wrists, the official also gave a reference standard: for wrists with a width of more than 150mm, one core is matched with four modules; For those less than 150mm, it is appropriate to reduce the number of modules to 3.

The important dial is the core part. The processor is Snapdragon 400512MB RAM+4GB ROM, 1.35-inch 360x360 screen (AMOLED may be used according to the crowdfunding amount), supports Wi Fi and Bluetooth, and is the same as the current smart watch hardware specifications.

The UI used by the watch looks good, but the specific system is unknown. IOS 8.0 or Android 4.0 or above is required to connect with smart phones.

In terms of price, it naturally conforms to the characteristics of crowdfunding. There are many different price options available, ranging from a minimum of $195 to a maximum of $7800. But now the target amount has been completed, and you may have to wait to buy.

The slogan given by BLOCKS is "It's the last smartwatch you'll ever need". Do you want to cut your hands?
