The Stylish Smart Bracelet Every Fashionista Will Covet This Christmas

We've seen some very stylish wearable tech — but Intel's collaboration with fashion house Opening Ceremony takes the cake. We learned of MICA, the smart bracelet that stands for "my intelligent communication accessory," during New York Fashion Week, and today, the details on the wrist device are finally being unveiled, just in time for the holidays.

MICA is a gorgeous cuff with a 1.6-inch touch screen display and comes in black or white snakeskin. Its exterior just scratches the surface of what this wearable tech can really do. The battery lasts an impressive two days, and it can be charged via micro USB. Like any smartwatch, Opening Ceremony's bracelet eliminates any handbag fumbling by bringing your phone's notifications to your wrist. You'll see nearby businesses via Yelp, incoming texts, Gmail messages, Google calendar notifications, and upcoming Facebook events. In addition to this info, MICA offers unique intelligent reminders called "Time to Go" that dynamically adjust how long it'll take you to get to your next appointment based on your location. If you misplace MICA, there is an online portal to locate the device and lock it down remotely.

It will be available for sale only in the US for $495 at Barneys New York locations, Opening Ceremony boutiques in New York, and Los Angeles, as well as online at Barneys.com and OpeningCeremony.us. Think it's too pricey? MICA comes with two years of AT&T data service paid by Intel! That's right. The bracelet's killer feature is that it doesn't need a smartphone to work. Before you put it on your wish list this year, get up close and personal with the smart bracelet in the gallery!
