A smart watch that stores a headset is a convenient item that won't panic even when you call suddenly.

Telework, where people work from home or other places other than the office, has become commonplace, and more and more meetings and meetings are being held via video chat. However, when you have family around you, or in a coworking space where you can talk, you may not want to be heard by the other person, even though you can hear yourself. To do so, you can connect a headset to your PC or smartphone, but many of you must have experienced that you can't find it when you want to use it.

In that case, you should always remember to carry your headset with you, but sometimes you leave your headset in a hurry and leave it at home. There may be times when you can't find it. Headsets that can be said to be an idea product that will not cause such a thing are being sold overseas.

It is a smart watch or wristband type device (smart band) with a built-in wireless headset. In other words, you can usually wear it on your arm as a wristwatch, but when you start a call, telephone call, or video conference, you can remove the small headset from the main unit and put it on your ear, and you can talk as it is. It's a product that seems to come from a dubious Chinese manufacturer, but there are also well-designed products that have successfully raised funds through crowdfunding.

VOIXATCH is the perfect example of a smart wristwatch headset. The clock part of the circular screen is a smart watch that has built-in LTE and can be used as an activity meter that can record heart rate, step count, and calculate calorie consumption.

When you receive a call on your smartphone or watch, remove the circular bezel and turn it into a wireless headset that can be worn over your ear. The appearance of wearing it in your ear gives you a little futuristic feeling, so you may just want to talk on the phone. Even during the telephone call, it seems that I will be bombarded with questions, "What is that?"

Don't panic, head Set storage type smart watch is a convenient item

This headset comes in multiple colors, so you can have multiple colors and wear different colors to match your outfit or your mood for the day. It combines practicality and fashion. It will start shipping in July 2020 and will be priced at $249.

On the other hand, some smart band products are available in a shape that allows you to wear the headset that comes with the charging case, which is popular these days, on your arm. These products can also record the amount of daily exercise as activity meters, and also support simple notifications from smartphones.

Lemfo's "LT04" is a product that can store a headset at both ends of the display. When you want to make a call, remove each and put it in your ear. Even if you have an urgent phone call, you will be able to respond immediately. It seems to be a somewhat aggressive design, but it may be said that it is the most suitable product for people who make frequent calls. The price is around 10,000 yen.

Similarly, Lemfo's "M1" looks like a smart band, but when you open the display part of the display, it has a built-in headset. This one is more resistant to dirt, etc., and there seems to be no worry about accidentally dropping the headset. This is cheaper than the actual selling price of 10,000 yen or less.

This M1 is actually a commercially available headset case with a band attached. The case part has a heart rate sensor on the inside, a display on the outside, and an activity meter function inside. This idea is highly versatile, and similar products may come out from other manufacturers in the future. However, since the case is thick enough to hold the headset, it seems that the thickness is a little worrisome to wear on your arm every day.

Airpower's "Wearbuds" is a product that was thought to be able to store the left and right separate headsets thinner. This is also a smart band, but the size from the display to the belt is large, so it looks like a watch. The headset is stored by inserting it from the left and right of the main unit. With this, the thickness in the vertical direction can be slightly suppressed.

The price is about 20,000 yen, and it seems that it is sold through crowdfunding in Japan as well. Most of these products are made in China, and various products are sold when you look at Aliexpress. With over 100 types of even ordinary wireless headsets on the market, it's a hotly contested area. In any case, isn't it convenient to have one for remote work?
