There’s a startup [1] that I don’t think has shipped yet, but they have a great idea about using nerve conductance sensors to use hand gestures to control the watch. Looks pretty exciting

Oof, at a glance some of the gestures and ideas look pretty similar to what Apple just launched. I wouldn't be surprised if this either fizzles out, or gets nerfed by Apple for competing with built-in OS features.

It's possible the extra hardware in the watch band makes it work much better, which would be cool! But it's hard to beat built-in. And I presume relying on those comm ports in the watch band connector and watchOS functionality is... risky.
