How did you come up with the idea for this product?
We were continuously making and promoting several product lines in mobile power, wireless charging, Bluetooth speakers, smart bracelets, and more. In 2014 we made the decision to focus specifically on smart wearables, which we believe to be key into the new Internet Era, or IoT (Internet of Things). Shortly after we completed the first prototype, we met our software partner, the Cronologics team. When Leor, CEO of Cronologics, arrived at iMCO headquarters, our confidence in CoWatch went even further. Together, we hope to provide our customers with a unique watch-centric user experience to perfect their mobile life.
What makes your product special?
CoWatch is the world’s first smartwatch with Amazon Alexa integration. CoWatch is also the first wearable device to utilize the Cronologics OS, which provides a watch-centric user experience.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
We were really excited with the successful launch of our initial crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo, which received international exposure with supporters from more than 50 countries. Continuing to see sales come in and receive positive feedback from our growing community keeps us enthusiastic about the future!
