‘Adappt’ Brings Standard Band Adapters to the Apple Watch [VIDEO]

A new Indiegogo campaign by the name of ‘Adappt’ is a small bands adapter, that will let you use your Apple Watch with any standard watchband, featuring Apple’s proprietary plug on one side, and on the other side, the classic pin-compatible plug used by majority of regular watches. The product is created by four Italian students, passionate about new technologies and watches, named Ludovico, Francesco, Lorenzo and Carlo, two of which have previously raised $360,000 for another campaign on.

The creators of Adappt say that the adapter will be available in two sizes, one for the 38mm and one for the 42mm Apple Watch, and will also be offering combinations of adapter and watchbands, meaning users will be able to choose from high quality rubber, leather or stainless steel bands in a wide variety of colours. “We are working very hard to manufacture Adappt with high quality materials, to make Adappt look just like it’s part of your Apple Watch”.
