New BACtrack Mobile version

If you ask what BAC means? The answer is Blood Alcohol Content which is now easy to track thanks to BACtrack breathalyzers, that many of you already known.

In 2015 holiday season BACtrack offers two new versions of their breathalyzers: BACtrack Mobile and BACtrack Vio Smartphone (key chain version). Both are supporting our lives being closely connected to smartphones and smartwatches via Bluetooth. There is no more guessing if you and your guests can safely drive because the BACtracks products provide police level alcohol measurement and the BACtrack Vio provides the trends on consumptions as well. The devices are design for a single person to user or multiple users when they use the additional mouthpieces.  img.apple-watch-cta

The BACtrack products support iOS and Android systems on our smartphones. Once connected to the free BACtrack app, a user is able to save and track the results over time, as well as add photos and notes to those results, in order to learn valuable information about the drinking habits. The app was easy to find on iTunes or Google Play Stores and easy to install too.

The results of the alcohol content can be easily send to user’s wrist. The new Apple Watch Integration allows for initiating and completing BAC tests via on the Watch.  The use of the test results on the watch also make it more convenient to access the estimated alcohol level anytime using the Active ZeroLine feature that gives countdown.  This feature is exclusively for the watch app, and not available on the smartphone app.

New BACtrack products are available in the main retailer stores as Costco, Best Buy or Walgreens.

Fashion case for Apple Watch

Fashion case for Apple Watch

September 2015 – At the CTIA Super Mobility event in Las Vegas we met with the representatives of Lunatik and had a chance to see their new products for support of the Apple iWatch.  The company has been around for several years making innovative protection products for the mobile marketplace all with a high degree of style and precision manufacturing. The Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Scott Wilson, is an American entrepreneur and award-winning designer, best known for simultaneously sparking the crowdfunding and wearables movements with his 2010 TikTok+Lunatik Kickstarter project.

The premier product they were showing us this year as the new Epik case and band for the current 42mm Apple watch.  The Epik watch kit products are available in two different basic materials, a polycarbonate case and an aircraft grade aluminum versions.  The aluminum version, which we tested, is available in both a base “silver” aluminum color and a black coated aluminum version.  We tested the black version with the black leather band, the watch kit is also available with a metal link bracelet.

As the watch kit is designed for the fairly large 42mm Apple watch, the kit is fairly heavy (36g) and adds additional dimension to the watch.  The black powder coated design with the black leather band is targeted at the male user community and makes a strong visual statement.  It is also targeting use by physically larger individuals (over 5’8”) who have a large frame and wrist size to allow the 2.17” case to sit flat on their arm. DSC_0935

To supplement the aluminum case, the kit features stainless steel buttons, control/scrolling crown, and assembly screws for strength and durability.  The watch kit does not include a top cover for the watch to minimize bulk, but is compatible with the majority of edge-to-edge screen protection products that are approved for the iWatch.

The retail box comes with an installation guide in the box that has both illustrations and words.  It however, does not include directions on how to remove the watch module from the original band provided by Apple, but that step should be self-explanatory.

The watch kit has a number of subtle design elements, beveled edges, smooth corners, rolled lips on the top of the case and smooth easy to make adjustments and action on the strap and the connection to the case.  The design is not just functional but enhances the artistic design to a standard format digital watch.  The watch kit is currently available direct from Lunatik and other retail outlets.
