This week I found myself in the unlikely position of being ahead of the curve. In January after months of thinking about it, I finally ordered the rather pricey Sony Wena Smart Watch Strap just for the purposes of learning about and doing a demonstration of something that was only available in Japan.

Postage took longer than expected, but eventually it arrived and I put it to one side while I continued to work on other videos. However on Wednesday Sony announced that the Wena (which apparently stands for WEar Electronics NAturally) was being released in the UK on the 4th March.

I therefore found myself in the unusual position of having an item in my hands that was only due to come out here next month.  

So naturally I dropped everything and spent every hour since then getting this review finished. I hope this effort proves to be worthwhile as I'm now officially knackered. 

UPDATE: I really didn’t want to return to this, however after playing about with the phone app, I accidentally discovered the unintuitave way you add notifications for the apps you care about. So I downed a whiskey and returned to the editor to correct my mistakes. The version above is now the accurate updated one.

A review of a WENA Wrist Pro Smart Watch Band imported From Japan. The connected watch strap that turns a standard watch into a smartwatch. Gain some smartwatch functionality while still being able to wear a traditional watch. The UK version is available to pre-order from Amazon: Wrist Pro: https://amzn.to/2X6eoJP Wrist Active: https://amzn.to/2SBgwKW The differences between the Pro and the Active are explained in the video. Links are affiliated. REUPLOADED after a re-edit to include important information regarding adding Custom Notifications. New section starts at 12:08 UHD Version is still processing at Youtube's end - this can take a few hours. If anyone is interested in the Pulsar watch I used - I believe its a discontinued model but there are a few left on Amazon UK (affiliated links) - https://amzn.to/2Gu13pG (the colour I bought) https://amzn.to/2SFfyNH (a blue one) and https://amzn.to/2GvOJW1 (one with a resin strap) - If you were buying one to fit on a Wena Wrist Pro - this last one seems like the best idea as it's the cheapest. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan Patrons usually have early access to videos ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.

Hi Mat, thinking of your military telecom video which I very much enjoyed, how about trying out the British Fullerphone of WWI? <a href="http://www.wftw.nl/ful.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.wftw.nl/ful.html</a> They seem to only be about $50 on American eBay, and you could have an acting scene where you try to tap your lines.

Coming to the UK, apparently <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-47546546/tech-filled-strap-makes-old-watches-smart" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-47546546/tech-filled-strap-makes-old-watches-smart</a>

This is going to be an interesting one to ‘watch’. I’d already bookmarked next Monday in the calendar to see if the official UK release bumps up the viewing figures on my review. It could really do with a bump - it’s been disappointingly flat for a worldwide English language review exclusive of a Sony product. The video is still over £100 short of earning back in advert revenue what the strap cost me to buy.
