The Memi Smart Bracelet: Wearable Tech That Keeps For Women That Allows You Connect or Disconnect

A Whole New Technology for A Whole New World

 

The Memi bracelet would let women put that phone away until the bracelet subtly lets us know that the call we’re waiting for, or the text or email we can’t miss, is waiting. (The Memi is styled and marketed as a women’s product.) Using the associated app, users can set one of three distinct vibrations on the bracelet to notify them of particular calls, texts and alerts. A double tap silences the vibration. 

The Memi is the kind of simple, effective product. “There are a lot of products out there, and coming, designed to help people be more connected,” Leslie Pierson, one of the creators of the Memi, told me. “We wanted to make something for the person who wants to be less connected to all the noise that’s out there, and more connected to what’s really important at the moment.”

The bad news? The Memi isn’t available yet. The founders are test-driving the first models this week. “We’ve promised to ship by the end of summer,” Ms. Pierson said. “But we hope to exceed expectations.” 

You can pre-order the Memi, which sells for $150, on their website.
