Caeden, a Soho based wearable technology company, announced this week that is has just raised $1.6M in funding. The company was founded in 2014 by Nora Levinson and David Watkins with the intent to sell stylish headphones and earbuds. Caeden had recently announced its plans to release a connected, screen-less leather bracelet and the investment will be used to bring the device to market.
Although the company is remaining tight lipped on what exactly the bracelet does, they have released images of the design. It is primarily leather with thoughtful metal accents and a deployment buckle closure. A brief look online reveals more detailed design documents which outline PPG sensors to provide continuous heart rate monitoring, a motion sensor, and a vague reference to receiving phone notifications. Price has not yet been set. Caeden’s device is expected to ship in the Fall with preorders opening up soon.
