Washington: If you are in San Francisco and wary of shelling out 350-10,000 dollars on Apple's smartwatch, then Lumoid will allow you to try it before you commit.
The San Francisco-based startup has a home try-on program for other wearables too including, the Jawbone UP24 fitness tracker, Fitbit Surge, Samsung Gear Fit and the Pebble smartwatch. Lumoid said that it decided to offer trial programs on wearable devices because they were intensely personalized and what worked for your friend, may not work for you, reported CBS News.
Customers have to pay about 25 dollars to have up to five fitness bands or smartwatches delivered to their homes for a weeklong trial period. After the trial period, if the customer chooses to buy one of the devices, Lumoid replaces the trial product with a new one and puts the fee toward the purchase price.
However, trying an Apple smartwatch would cost a tad more. While the cheapest Sport version (priced at 349 or 399 dollars) will cost 45 dollars for a week, the steel version (priced at 549 to 1,099 dollars) can be availed for a week-long trial period for about 55 dollars.
The company will however, not offer Apple smartwatch's 10,000 dollar edition on trial.
