Not all our wearables have to be powerful micro-computers strapped to our wrists (or other body parts for that matter). For the handyman, wearables might be less about the next meeting than about being able to quickly measure something. And we all know how tools have a tendency to disappear just as they are needed the most.
If you find yourself always needing to measure things when you’re on the go, this is the perfect product for you.
The Wrist Ruler is a leather wristband that unrolls into a measuring tape engraved with both inch and centimetre measurements. The band is meant to be wrapped loosely around your wrist twice.
The Wrist Ruler may not be as reliable as the trusty measuring tape in your toolbox but imagine the looks when you simply unroll your ruler while everyone digs through their tools to find theirs.
If nothing else, the Wrist Ruler proves that wearables can be useful when they are low-tech.
The Wrist Ruler is available in four different sizes, 15, 16, 17, and 18 inches. It sells for US$19.95.
