Geekscape Tech Review: Ditto Wearable from Simplematters

The issue with having a smartphone is that you can get filled to the brim with notifications. With all the the texts, alarms, and emails that you can get, you will probably unlock into your phone with quite a bit to see before you can access your favorite apps. You could shell out a few hundred dollars for a smartwatch, or you could just pay a fraction of the cost for a Ditto device from Simplematters.

The Ditto is a small device that you can clip to yourself or just put on the included armband, and it will vibrate when you get a notification. Do you need to buy a smartwatch for that? Seriously, why wasn’t the Ditto invented first?

Ditto can work for over 60 applications, and you can set up customized vibration patterns for whatever notification that you want. There are even silent alarms and loads of customization aboard. Also and by the way, Ditto is waterproof.

By the way, you can also tether the phone to the Ditto, so you won’t be losing that smartphone again with Ditto reminding you. By the way, Ditto wirelessly connects to your smartphone from 50-100 feet away, and it doesn’t need charging thanks to its battery that lasts 3-6 months.

It can be picked up at the Ditto site for $39.95. As you can see by the image, you can get it in black or white, but you can also get it in clear. I was thinking about putting captions that said “Ditto” under the black model and “ditto Ditto” under the model in white, but I wasn’t certain whether that joke would work. Did it? Leave a comment if you get it.

Also, do you want to hear more about the latest in technology? In early January, there is a big event in Las Vegas known as CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I want to go and report on it, but I need some help. I have a new GoFundMe site that will “Send Mark (me) to CES 2017”. Please click here and make a donation.
