Tech start-up PowerWatch has created its first body-heat chargeable wearable device, the Matrix Industries. Using thermoelectrics, the device converts the differences in temperature into electricity to power the device without having to charge it. The device has a power meter, which the wearer can recharge by warming their skin through moving or exercising. The company hopes to extend the technology to the healthcare, manufacturing and shipping sectors, and is launching a range of mens’ watches for $99.99 for a limited time.
