Smart belts

Smart belts represent a new concept of belts, which do various tasks, from offering a greater flexibility to tracking steps and connecting to a smartphone, however, fewer brands explored this opportunity and developed this product.

WELT

WELT Corporation introduced WELT, a healthiness and fashionable belt (Figure 8), which measures the waist circumference, monitor eating habits, performs gait analysis and tracks steps and sitting times. The belt connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone and shows data. It comes in various colours and styles for both men and women and the price varies between $129-199 (WELT 2020).

MAGBELT ( Figure 9) is another smart belt, less luxurious and more practical, which works with a patented sliding magnet system, which offers the user more comfort and security. The belt does not have holes and thanks to the magnet there is no strap overhang (MAGZOOK 2020).

SLIDEBELTS is another brand producing smart belts, which offer maximum comfort by utilizing a notched track sewn into the underside of the belt strap. However, these belts do not use cutting-edgy technology and do not perform complicated tasks (SLIDEBARS 2020).
