Meet Boddie – the evolution of a smartwatch and enjoy the true balance.

Boddie is a smartwatch suitable for your everyday needs. As the most personal assistant ever, it will enable you to get your latest social media and message notifications, as well as answer or reject phone calls. Whenever you feel like training, Boddie will track the number of, steps you take and calories you burn.  And should you need to give that very important presentation at work, Boddie will help you to command it with nothing more than a simple wave of your hand.

These days, we are becoming more and more dependent on technology. Life without a cellphone or the Internet is almost unimaginable. Wouldn’t it be nice to occasionally andeasily disconnect from your digital life without having to completely abandon it?

Our guiding philosophy when designing Boddie was to help users regain balance in their lives. That’s why, by turning your Boddie 180 degrees, you’ll be able to cut yourself off from the notifications and phone calls, to fully enjoy a party, a beautiful day or free time with your family.

Boddie will connect to your iOS or Android device via Bluetooth, enabling you to excel in three different branches of your life - lifestyle, business and health.

Once you've connected Boddie to your smarphone, it will:

• display your smartphone's battery level,
• display notifications from Facebook, Twitter and other social networking platforms,
• display text messages,
• view and accept or reject incoming calls,
• control your music player,
• and much more!

As far as the productivity goes, Boddie will enable you to:

• navigate slide presentations with simple gestures using our dedicated control app for Windows, OS X and Linux platforms,
• monitor email and calendar alerts,
• remotely release camera shutter,
• and much more!

Boddie will also become your own Boddieguard! If you ever lost your phone, you will be able to:

• locate your smartphone if misplaced,
• remotely lock it if it’s lost or stolen,
• and much more!

With Boddie you will not only be able to cut yourself off from the constant notificationns. To help you regain a true balance in your life it will also:

• monitor and record your workout statistics using the dedicated fitness app,
• count calories,
• enjoy a more balanced life,
• and much more!

Boddie is designed with the following specifications:

• 1.44” display,
• enough battery for 7 days of usage on a single charge,
• 2x MSP430 microcontrollers,
• 2x 16 KB of RAM,
• BT 4.0/BLE for connection,
• dedicated OS,
• microUSB port,
• accelerometer, gyroscope, 2 thermometers and digital compass.

All of these are hidden inside a high-end, aluminum unibody enclosure.

What is more, the CPU used in Boddie consumes over 16 times less power than the one in Pebble, which wiill enable you to stay off the charger for as long as you want to!

We have done an extensive amount of work since last August when the idea of Boddie was initially conceived. We are currently in the process of finishing our prototype, but there is still a great deal of work ahead! We have to make sure that everything is perfect, whether it’s hardware, UX or our apps. This will not be possible without your help.  As Princess Leia would say: "you’re our only hope!" Our only hope to make our dreams come true and to deliver a smartwatch that will truly bring balance to its users’ lives!
