    Will there ever be a day where I can just buy a smart watch strap to attach to my mechanic watch to get biometrics and what not?

      Soon. Oura rings exist so they could be an alternative.

      Invis make straps without sensors but with NFC payments.

      There’s clearly a market for rings as fitness trackers so people can avoid a watch altogether

      Wanting a watch strap is a bit more niche but it’ll come around as a product I’m sure.
