The design of most smartwatches these days tend to leave a lot to be desired, save for a few here and there that actually looks decent. That being said companies such as Montblanc are trying to come up with alternatives that will allow the wearer to have a luxury/classic timepiece on their wrist, but yet have access to modern technology.
The company had previously announced an e-strap and now thanks to Watch-Insider (via MacRumors), additional photos of the Montblanc e-strap have surfaced. This is thanks to a demonstration put on by Montblanc’s CEO Jerome Lambert which was held in Geneva over the weekend.
From what we can tell in the real-life photos, the e-strap is not as sleek as we had thought it to be. In fact it looks rather bulky. Given its bulky nature and the fact that it rests on the wrist portion of the watch, we reckon it could be rather uncomfortable if you wanted to type or rest your wrists on the table.
The display of the e-strap also does not look as vibrant or as sharp as the official renders, but it should be good enough to get the job done. According to Montblanc, they will be pricing the device at 250 Euros and it is expected to be compatible with select Timewalker Urban Speed watches.
