Will.i.am has partnered with fashion house Gucci to create a
smartband, which was announced exclusively
in Vogue today and simultaneously shown off at
the Baselworld watch show.
Initial pictures of the wearable show a rectangular screen
embedded into a band, which looks to be made of rubber of the same
width. Gucci’s press image shows the band to be matte and all black
with a shiny pattern etched over it. An image of will.i.am from the
press conference posted on CNET, however, shows the
entrepreneur sporting a white prototype, suggesting there will be
some colour variation.
