In order to support our ecosystem, we launched 'Datum Enabled' program," said Roger Haenni, co-founder and CEO of Datum. "We are enthusiastic to see a disruptive smartwatch maker opting to integrate Datum API in their complete line-up, enabling users to securely encrypt their data and then given them freedom to decide they want to do with collected data."

"The current smartwatch market is cumbered with the need to have daily charges, adding complication and more devices to wear," said Wenming Derek Mao, Chief Marketing Officer at SWINGS. "By pairing award-winning Swiss watch mechanism with an exclusive, power-saving friendly processor, we were able to achieve up to two years of battery life using an affordable and recyclable battery."
