The Eyecatcher has a curved, 5-inch display that wraps around the wearer's wrist and this 'always-on display' shows notifications from a connected smartphone.

 

Wearers can select which notifications they receive and even change the device's wallpaper to match their outfit³.

 

The Eyecatcher was developed by Looksee Labs, based in Oakland, and the firm has set up a Kickstarter campaign to fund production of the device.

 

There are three models - two for women and one for men - and each come in small, medium and large.

 

The female Mercury model is made from white bronze while the Venus model is made from sterling⁴ silver. The male, Mars model is made from stainless⁵ steel.

 

Each device connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone app where wearers can select a display design, manage their notifications and choose which widgets appear.

 

These include activity tracking, calendar events, maps, text messages, breaking news, and stock details.

 

The bracelet uses a low-power e-ink screen and the designers claim the device will last a year on a single charge.

 

If the campaign is successful bracelets⁶ will be shipped in February 2016.
