Blocks debuts Alexa-powered modular smartwatch.
Blocks is showing off its modular smartwatch at CES 2018, and its new features include Amazon Alexa voice commands. The smartwatch has a snap-together body that enables you to mix-and-match different features. Blocks Core is a full smartwatch with features like smartphone notifications, fitness tracking, Amazon Alexa, and other features.
You can enhance it by adding Blocks Modules. Each of these has a different feature or a sensor, are they’re connected to the Core instead of a watch strap. That enables you use a custom wearable suited to each your lifestyle and needs. And now it has five new modules in development.
