So I just saw the post (haven't been here lately lolol) for the induction headphones working with the Blocks core. How about a bone induction watchband? I've been waiting for TipTalk smartwatch band and it'd be pretty cool if they got to work with Blocks, especially for the people who aren't getting modules yet or will only be buying a few at launch but not enough to fill a band. What do you guys think?

This technology is awesome, I really like the fact that you can use bone conduction on your wrist to hear sounds. Unfortunately, I don't think it will be coming to BLOCKS any time soon as SAMSUNG will protect it's design and is not known for helping others use their technology.

The core will not be compatible with the watchband because you won't be able to attach it and the watchband has to be paired with your smartphone (maybe you could hack it to work with BLOCKS but I don't think so).

I really like the idea of a bone conduction module but given the state of the technology and the development needed I don't think I will happen any time soon.

ahhhhh that is true, forgot about the pairing between module and wrist band. I do think that the wrist band could work if they have an adapter for standard straps, but yea totally forgot that the wrist band would not work unless they have an app work with the blocks software. Also didn't realize it was samsung, i thought it was going to be a kickstarter too
