The wristband is also social — you can sync with info belonging to and communicate with other users with the technology.
The Razer Nabu is an open platform for first and third-party developers to update existing apps or create new ones to enhance the experience of its users.
“Smart watches in their current form are too bulky and fitness trackers are easily forgotten after the initial novelty wears off—we have fixed all of that,” notes Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. “The Razer Nabu provides a revolutionary new platform that bridges the divide between so-called smart watches and fitness bands. It delivers only the information you need, collects data that you want, and deepens your social interactions. Most excitingly, with our open platform, developers can utilize data collected by the Nabu to deliver incredible experiences to individuals via mobile or desktop apps—social or otherwise.” – See more at: http://www.razerzone.com/press/detail/press-releases/razer-announces-the-nabu-smartband#sthash.jLl6w3Dc.dpuf
