The ROOband keeps track of your activity and provides you with all the data you really need. It is the first wearable fitness tracker that is entirely analog. That's right. It requires no batteries, no downloads, no Bluetooth, no syncing. 

It works with any smart phone or device, or none at all. It fits on your wrist and can be wherever you are. The ROOband’s soft natural materials are timeless, providing an experience that no other digital wearable fitness device can offer.

The ROOband is the most relevant running product in years.

It’s time for an update on Bob’s idea:

The ROOband is in direct contact with your your skin. When running, your body will start to emit ‘effort’, commonly called ‘sweat’. Your effort will be absorbed by the Rooband. Then, after each session, you can squeeze the ROOband to output your effort, allowing you to measure your progress with an easily quantifiable result.

Since the ROOband doesn’t need any electrical power, you can wear it nonstop night and day, all year round. Because effort is exuded throughout the day, you can even measure activities like sitting in a sauna, or sunbathing. The ROOband even tracks what you eat. 

One of the features we are particularly proud of is what we call Open Pocket Technology (O.P.T.) 

Open Pocket Technology is compatible with any object or device, so long as it is relatively small. You can’t put little objects in any other wearable tracking device on the market.

We are a team of likeminded experts. We have come together to realize our ambition of bringing joy back to running.The ROOband is more than a product. It’s an idea. Wearing a ROOband is a statement. It says ‘I love to run. But I don’t want to be told when to run or how to run. I run for joy.’

The ROOband is nearly complete. The funds we receive will be used to make the ROOband as amazing as possible, and to develop further innovations like the hands free version. Please help us achieve our targets and make our dream come true.

We are testing our prototypes every time we do something, striving to refine the ROOband right up to the beginning of manufacturing. Now we want to get it in the hands of users and developers everywhere. For this, we need your support .

In 1979, American architect and running enthusiast, Robert ‘Bob' Gamm was getting frustrated with where he should keep his small change and keys during his daily 10k runs. But then he had a crazy idea! He developed a pair of lightweight athletic shoes containing a small zippered pocket to hold those important belongings. KangaROOS, "The Original Shoes With Pockets" was born. And, most important of all, run was fun again for Bob. Now, with the ROOband, it’s time that history repeats itself.

DO NOTE: Although the video and above text may come off as a spoof. We will be making the band if we meet our goal.
