Kickstarter: FlyShark Smartwatch – Everything at the Touch of Your Wrist

What is FlyShark:

The FlyShark Smartwatch is your mobile phone, heart rate monitor, exercise tracker, sleep quality monitor and so much more, all at the mercy of your wrist. Sadly, the current class of smartwatches still requires your “smart” phone for basic functions like texting or making and receiving calls. With the FlyShark Smartwatch you can send AND receive messages, and make private calls without touching your phone. Also, UNLIKE other hot smartwatch products out there, the FlyShark CAN and WILL function by itself without a phone. Just simply place a Micro-SIM card into the watch and you are set.

FlyShark will include functions like calling, texting, heart rate testing, exercise tracking, sleep monitoring, built-in camera, Bluetooth and more! You can be like James Bond and answer the phone and respond to texts with ease. You have two options to place / receive calls on a FlyShark Smartwatch:

Use FlyShark Smartwatch with your phone via Bluetooth. This requires you have a separate phone with active cell phone service.
Use FlyShark Smartwatch standalone without a separate phone. This requires you to place a Micro-SIM card with active cell phone service in the watch.

The Smartwatch comes with a high quality camera that can take photos up to 2,000,000 pixels! Capture clear quality photos while traveling with your FlyShark Smartwatch anywhere you go!

Need to log and keep track of your workouts for your New Year’s resolutions?? Well now you can! Whether you’re just walking along the beach, or running in the neighborhood, use the FlyShark smartwatch to track how fast, how long, and how many calories you’re burning. Get into the zone and watch yourself transform into the new you for the New Year!

You can monitor your heart rate with the FlyShark Smartwatch. Simply hold down the lower-right hand corner button for five seconds and the FlyShark will read your pulse. Watch the screen as it displays your results!

You can hold the watch in your hand to test your heart rate
Or you can simply leave it on your wrist:

During the process of designing and prototyping, FlyShark spent numerous hours perfecting the watch. In order to obtain the accurate heart rates, FlyShark spent 4 months experimenting with the size and the shape of the sensors. After collecting a large quantity of test data, FlyShark finally decided to use the large half circle sensor (right photo) instead of the initial small cylinder sensor (left photo). This change does increase our cost, but it provides the best accuracy and precision. That’s how FlyShark care about our customers and take pride in the products FlyShark design.
