Speakers: Serge Vasylechko (co-founder)
About Blocks: BLOCKS is the world's first modular smartwatch. We believe that people's needs don't necessarily fit into a single category - everyone should have the freedom to pick and mix functions and style that they like. So we decided to make a modular smartwatch. Each band of BLOCKS can be a sensor, a display, a processor or a battery that you choose. The greatest thing about BLOCKS is its open platform - any company or an individual can not only develop apps but also build their own BLOCKS.
