Razer introduces affordable smartband for notifications

If all you want from a wearable is the ability to show you notifications from your paired smartphone or tablet, then the smartwatches in the market may be a little too expensive for you for that kind of simple function. But this early, a lot of OEMs have been releasing more affordable, entry-level wearables, just either as activity trackers or notification hubs. The latest to join the fray is Razer, known for its gaming software and devices. But this time, they're introducing the Razer Nabu X.



What makes this wearable stand out from its competitors is that you can set your notifications to be color coded, as it has three LED colored indicators to choose from. Its other version, the Razer Nabu, meanwhile, has an OLED private message screen which gives you a text preview of your notifications. Both wearables have third-party developed apps that will work well with it, and those will be available in the Nabu Marketplace.
