Intel’s Mica:
Mica is yet another smart band which will change the way you look at fitness and jewelry.
MICA stands for “My Intelligent Communication Accessory” and this particular high-end wearable includes a curved sapphire touchscreen display.
CNET last week reported that Intel was expected to introduce the bracelet shortly, in a sign of the company’s ambitions to expand into wearable technology and beyond its core chip-making business. The MICA is one of a handful of electronics that double as women’s jewelry, including the $80 Misfit Bloom stainless steel necklace, which houses a fitness tracker, and Ringly, a ring starting at $195 that sends notifications from your phone using vibration and light.
The good part is, the device will be able to provide alerts and notifications, including SMS messages, calendar reminders, meeting alerts etc. and these all will be sent directly to the wrist display. Also, two-way wireless data communication through 3G cellular radio will be available without the need to pair it with a smartphone. The best thing that this device can give you is the fact that it can charge wirelessly or using a USB cable.

The cuff-style device opens via a clasp and has a 1.6-inch sapphire touchscreen that sits at the bottom of the wrist.
