Enter Smartlet, a Paris-based startup that\u2019s decided this whole either-or situation is kind of ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>The Smartlet dual-watch strap does exactly what it sounds like. It lets you wear both a traditional watch and a smartwatch on the same wrist, simultaneously. One sits on top of your wrist like normal, the other hides underneath. Flip your wrist one way to check the time on your classic timepiece, flip it the other way to see your notifications, heart rate, or whether you\u2019ve hit your daily movement goal.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: David Ohayon for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smartlet.io\/collection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Smartlet<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-599888\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-599888\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"7faadda3e3c6cab1beb6400e-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"7faadda3e3c6cab1beb6400e-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Created by engineer David Ohayon, who himself couldn\u2019t decide between his beloved mechanical watches and the practical features of modern smartwatches, the Smartlet system uses a patented modular design that lets you clip and unclip watches in seconds without any tools. The strap itself is made from stainless steel and comes in different finishes (Classic, Shadow, and Titanium), so it\u2019s not trying to look like some weird tech gadget. It actually resembles a regular metal watch bracelet, which means it won\u2019t clash with the aesthetic of luxury timepieces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-599889\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-599889\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Now, before you start imagining some clunky contraption, the total weight of the setup sits between 60 and 100 grams with both watches attached, which is comparable to most steel bracelets already on the market. The thickness is between 9 and 12mm, compared to 4 to 8mm for classic watches, so yes, it\u2019s noticeably thicker but not absurdly so.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-599890\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-599890\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"7faadda3e3c6cab1beb6400e-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"7faadda3e3c6cab1beb6400e-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The system is compatible with watches that have 20mm or 22mm lug widths, which includes iconic brands like Omega, Tudor, Tag Heuer, Rolex, Breitling, and Zenith.

It\u2019s not just about convenience, it\u2019s about something deeper that watch enthusiasts understand. There\u2019s emotional value in wearing a watch your grandfather gave you, or a piece you saved up for years to buy. These watches tell stories and carry memories. Yet in 2025, we\u2019re also living in a world where contactless payments, fitness tracking, and instant notifications have become genuinely useful features we don\u2019t want to give up.<\/p>\n<p>The Smartlet has already won a bronze medal at the prestigious Concours L\u00e9pine 2025, a French innovation competition that\u2019s been recognizing inventions since 1901. It\u2019s also been featured across major watch publications and tech outlets, with some calling it a potential <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>-changer for the industry.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-599892\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-599892\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-06.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are practical considerations. Wearing a smartwatch on the underside of your wrist means it\u2019s in regular contact with desks, armrests, and tables, which could lead to scratches or damage. And aesthetically, this is clearly designed for people who want the best of both worlds without compromise, which admittedly might not be everyone. The marketing does lean heavily into \u201cmodern gentleman\u201d territory, but honestly, the concept itself is pretty gender-neutral. Anyone who loves watches and also wants smart features could find this useful, whether you\u2019re tracking workouts, managing notifications during meetings, or just want your health data without sacrificing style.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-599893\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-599893\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/01\/01\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This $418 French Strap Solves the Watch vs Smartwatch Problem\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/this-418-french-strap-solves-the-watch-vs-smartwatch-problem\/smartlet-08.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>What makes Smartlet genuinely clever is that it doesn\u2019t ask you to choose. It recognizes that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and tradition aren\u2019t enemies, they\u2019re just different tools for different needs. You can protect your luxury watch from daily wear by keeping it underneath while your smartwatch handles the heavy lifting on top. Or you can showcase your mechanical masterpiece while discreetly monitoring your fitness data from below.<\/p>\n<p>Is it for everyone? Probably not. But for the growing number of people caught between worlds, wanting both the soul of traditional watchmaking and the brains of modern tech, Smartlet offers something genuinely new. It\u2019s a design solution that says you don\u2019t have to pick a side anymore. Your wrist, your rules.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
