- Una Watch is a new sustainable smartwatch
- The Edinburgh-based company just closed its Kickstarter campaign
- More than 1,200 people have supported their first clock for $ 330,000, including a number of potential developers
Sustainable Portable Outfit Una Watch has secured more than $ 330,000 in financing from its kickstarter campaign in just over four weeks, prior to the planned launch of the first watch.
As we have reported before, Una Watch is a sustainable sustainable with a unique, modular design and has GPS, health surveillance and 10-day battery life.
USP? It can be put together as Lego, and its modular design means that it can be both repaired and upgraded in a way that owners of the best Apple Watch models can only dream of.
Edinburgh-based Una Watch has now closed her Kickstarter after receiving support from 1,249 backers and gathered a cool £ 251,276 (about $ 335,000).
Developers flow to Una Watch
In addition to being popular with Smartwatch fans, Una Watch has also created excitement among developers that flow to being first in line to buy one. UNA Watch offers both a software development set (SDK) and a hardware development set (HDK) that will let developers code their own apps and create new sensors and hardware modules.
It is a similar open source approach to the one who made Pebble popular back on the day, and UNA has confirmed to Techradar that one in six backers has purchased the company’s development tool, which suggests a high percentage of backers are developers.
UNA is targeted at an estimated delivery date in August 2025 for its first kickstarter packs.
