In an effort to keep you informed of the issues that occur around the bitten apple products, today we bring you images of what Google put on the market a few months ago, the MODE belts. It is about straps in which clearly you can see the influence of the Apple Watch straps.
If we start to investigate a little in the market we can realize that the different manufacturers of digital watches, more specifically Android Wear have not stopped putting models on sale but have not stopped to also put on sale a concept of interchangeable straps for them.
Google saw this niche market and got down to business until a few months ago they introduced the MODE straps. As you can see in the images, they are attached to any watch with a traditional crossbar system so that whatever the Android Wear that you have purchased can use them.
However, despite the fact that the concept is fine, it is still a copy of what those from Cupertino presented at the time, although looking carefully at the idea, that of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), it is much simpler and more elegant. The straps we are talking about have been developed in collaboration with Hadley Roma b & nd, allowing them to be exchanged in seconds.
The strap incorporates a mechanism in the form of a pin that by moving it allows us to release the strap to be able to exchange it easily. Google MODE straps are only available in the US market and They are priced at $ 50 for those made of plastic and $ 60 for those made of leather.
As for colors, we have sixteen different colors in sizes 16, 18, 20 and 22 millimeters.
