A new phone accessory called Sgnl is the exact opposite of a hands-free device like a Bluetooth headset—it’s entirely dependent on your hand.

One thought on “A watch band lets you hear phone calls through your fingertip”

  1. $140 per band at the first KickStarter; and it worked when the Mental Floss journalist tried it at the ‘noisy coffeeshop’ challenge level. If your ear needed fidgeting with, and your headsets get lost at a good clip, and your chiropractitioner is into ear medial response stuff, maybe this is the thing!

    In other news, I really hope they’re not all matte black wristbands.
